It is proposed to establish an independent Joint-stock Bank
at the west end of I.ondou, for the purpose of supplying the
growing wants of the metropolis, and, as opportunities offer, of
taking up the business of such of the private banks es may
desire to merge their interests.
The principles upou which tilt. Directors propose to comiuct
the business of the West Metropolitan Bank will be those of the
most successful of the London Joint-stock Banks.
The West Metropolitan Bank will combine the business if
Army and Navy agency, as a distinct department.
It will be seen from the tables recently published that the six
joint-stock banks which have been established in London for
some years, have entrusted to them, by public confidence, thi'ty
millions of deposits, and pay to their shareholders dividends
varying from ii to 20 per cent. ; the shares bearing a value in the
market of from 50 to 200 per cent. premium.
The advantages to shareholders in a joint-stock bank ere so
well recognise'', that it is almost unnecessary to make special
mention of them; but one important fact cannot be too strongly
impressed, that a rise in the value of money, which tends to
lessen the price of government and other securities with fixed
dividends, on the contrary, by increasing the profits, enhances
the value of the capital invested in a joint-stock bank
Applications for Shares must be made iu the annexed form,
addressed to Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, or to Mr. J. M.
Clabon, the Secretary pro tem. at the offices of the Company,
accompanied by a payment of IL for every share applied for,
which will be appropriated to the payment of the first instal.
ment on whatever number of shares may be allotted, and the
surplus, if any. will be returned to the applicant free of expense.
For the convenience of parties residing at a distance from
London, the required deposit of 11. per share may be sent to the
brokers or secretary, who will hand the same to the bank, and
return a voucher to the applicant.
