The prospectus has been issued of the Canadian
Trust and Agency Company. The objects are to
invest capital in mortgages of real estate in Canada,
to receive money on deposit for fixed periods in
exchange for debentures bearing interest, and to
provide an agency for the negotiation of mortgages
and other approved Canadian securities. Attention
is drawn to the successful results arrived at by
analogous undertakings formed in this country, and
to the success also attained by local companies in
Canada. Arrangements have been made to secure,
free of all expense, the business of a private agency,
which has long been carried on in Canada West. A
profitable and guaranteed business will thus be se-
cured at the outeet. It is mentioned that the applies-
' tions fogloans in the colony are so numerous that the
amounts advanced do not exceed an average of one-
fourth of the estimated value of the properties
mortgaged. The capital is 500,000/, in 50,000
shares of 101. each. The first issue, however, is to
comprise only 12,500 shares. The direction is
respectable.
