London, May, 1981
The foundation of Instigations onths Cootiasa which cols
bine large capital and credit for financial and industrial enter-
prise has bow become an established fact, and In many C. 1.311
their !niecess has been remarkable. Such institutions may be
Onset aid become mere inelinunents of speculation; but
when prudently conductsd and directed towards legitimate
Hiner It cannot be denied that they meet one of the real
mats a the age.
England has hitherto not pestkileated in this movement, and
the consequence is, that Parts hat, to a considerable extent,
superseded London as the centre of financial intermit:a.
London, nevertheless, affords by far he best sphere foe a well- i
managed undeg of this description. It is the greatest
money market of the world; the point to which all foreign
nations mod to miss capital; the plate where large contracts
can be made and loans negotiated. There is cles.ly no oth r
money market where cenoentrated capital and credit ought to
command a more secure or a larger profit.
Enemas' also, in her colonies, and above all In her vast Indian
empire, affords • field for legitimate enterprise, which Is une-
qualed by say other country. India, with a population of
180,000.000 rapidly advancing In wealth and prosperity, requires
nothing more to accelerate MI development than the direction
towards its territory of some portion of that vast annual accu-
mulation of English capital which seeks Investment at a low
rate of intend. To ally the demand of India for capital at 10
or 12 per cent. with the Intillah demand for investment at 4 or
per cent., of Itself affords an ample sphere for operations.
It Is to meet these requisites that ensile gentlemen experienced
L financial and mercantile operations hare associated them-
selves together in order to form an English Company, In
alliance with the following leading Banking Houses and capi-
tabits of France, who are about to form a similar Company in
Paris, under the title of "Societe generale pour favoriser le de-
veloppement de l'lndostrie et du Commerce de la France," the
application for a concession being made by
M. Archdeacon, stamen Agent de Change.
