The International Financial Society 'Limited) have been en-
couraged to aid in the organisation of this Company by the
strong desire for lie auccess evinced by the Chamber of agricul-
ture and the commercial body to Ilauritins, and by the ready
support it has met with front leading houses connected with the
colony
• . .

The Program of the island, as a sugar.producing colony, has of
late been extremely rapid. The production of sugar has more
than doubled within the but twelve year.. and the crop of last
year 'viz, 11382-03 exceeded 150,000 tons.
Within the same period of time there has been an increase of
130,000 in the population, constetleg, for the most part, of Indian
immigrant, who are becoming permanent settlers.
Railways, the first section of which will probably be opened
nest
year, are in course of oonstruction ; and cannot fail
to develop the resources of the bland.
The anneal execute have for the last five years mewled, on an
average, 6$500.000: while the imports hare, during the same
period, amounted to little more than £4000,000._

The colonial budgets have, for many jeers past, shown, on the
average, a large surplus.
The legal rate of interest on mortgages In Mauritius b f per
ant ; and the company in raising money in England on Dales-
tares, for Investment In the colony, will preserve ouch • margin
ea, together with the conoubsions they may receive for their
mosey, should enable them to realise a large profit on the small
amount of psiddip capital required to conduct the business.
With a view to secure the debenture holders, it will be a rule
that the total amonoVralsed by the Company on Debentures
AM never exceed the amount invested In Mortgagee: and that
Investments shall be made only in First Mortgages, and fee
amounts not exceeding half the estimated values of the pro.
pertly offered as security.
Arrangements have already been made for placing the first
bane of debentures on eraMelackey terms.

rat Mortgage Loans In Mauritius, of six years and upwards,
the borrowers will be required to contribute half
—yearly to •
Waking Fund. on the principle of " Crldit Fonder," which hos
been applied with so much adraotase to both lender and borrower
In many mule of the continent of Europe
In addition to employing lb; own capital, the Company will
invest the money of constituents, guaranteeing interest, or prin-
cipal and Interest, as may be agreed upon.
There to In Mauritius an efficient newer of original titles to
land, connected with the "Land Court" of the Island; 'Malmo
a Teenscription Office, where successive titles tory be traced.
The mortgage investments made by tire government savhiga
bank of Mauritius, daring the last twenty-five years, prove that
investrnente Judiciously made under the mortgage law of the
Island are eminently secure.
A new law which in pining through the local legislature will
redone the operation of lending on mortgage to a condition of
still greater simplicity and safety.
The management of the Company will be vested la the beard
of directors in London, assisted by • board In Maurifus.
The influential support given to the Company both In log-
land and Mauritius, and the great want of such an institution,
mast secure an ample field for safe and lucrative operations.
The Directors of the International Financial Society feel,
therefore. Do hesitation in recommending the undertaking to the
favoerelrie notice of the nubile.

elation may be inspected at the Offices of the solicitors, Mears.
