The Commercial Company of Africa ::Lbsited) has been formed
for the purpose of conducting, neon an ostensive scale, a trade
lathe Bights of Benin, Bisitia, the River Niger, and other parts
of Antra, chiefly by tarter, of European manufactured goo& for
1 ton, oil, palm.nut kernels, ground nuts, gold duet iron'. cot-
ton, and other produce : also for the purpose of manufacturing
oil hum the kernels of the palm-nut. The West Coast of Africa
ilis known as the most prolific source from whence this kingdom
bealnded with palm oil, palm and ground nut kernels, and nu-
Isamu other products equally valuable In the English market,
which are obtained by means of bartering manometer, omodow.
Rimingham, and varioris other manufactures, at very remunera-
tive profits. The value of palm oil alone imported into Great
Brn anon illy averages about 62,600,000 merlins.
The whole of this trade bin until lately been confined to a
very limited number of houses. some of them having realised
large fortunes. The amalgamation of a few of theMerc se trues a
(Llnd
thels conversion into the Company of African
robed, has proved a sucesm, and the results of undertakings of a
11E111ar character to the present show that they afford most
legitimate and remunerative channels for the investment of

eitti:lf:dream have satisfaction in stating that the Company
has already scoured, by provialonal agreement, the stock and
Flint belonging to the London and African Trading Company
(Limited, with all Its connections and desirable establishments.
at the most important points In the Bight ot Benin and Liberia,
and which have been ceded to this Company, In consequence
of the capital of that Company being much too limited to carry
on the trade.
This Company has also =red all the Interests of the said
Company In a manufactory a established in MACS for the
of extracting oil from the kernels of the paLnonut.
grePlechinery ;London made) is in complete working order, end
the oil which can be produced thereby is of a much fluor de-
scription than the ordinary palm-not oil now made by the
natives.
The whole of these establishments are completely organbed
and In working order, large shipments of produce of the finest
description being received monthly from Africa: the buildings,
which are constructed of iron, are erected on freehold land
Mulled in the most desirable localities. The bums is almost
exclusively by touter, the produce being.ttirought by the =-
lives into the warehouses, and there exc for merchan-
dise ; there Is, therefore, little or no risk ot by bad debts :
and the Directors feel satisfied that, with an adequate capital
at their command. they will be enabled to realLe for the
shareholders a handsome ddend.
The Company will not pay anything for the business con-
vections and goodwill of the London and African Trading Com-
any, but simply take over the stock and plt by valuation,
so be made in the us=l way, the whole bring In good and mer-
chantable eonditiou, and well adapted to the requirements of
Ow Cosine= : and it is computed that a sum ot from Z 16,000 to
ilo,goo will cover the whole ot this purchase. The Directors
have reason to believe that the shareholders in the London and
African Trading Company will subscribe for shares in this Com-
In
pony nearly equal to their working capital at present invohtel
that Company.
In conjunction with some of the stations 'beady In working
operation: It Is contemplated to establish factories in Certain
'aria of the river Niger, where It has been ascertained that
large quantitics of palm oil, Ivory, Ac , may be readily obtained
In exchange for various descriptions of Manchester and Bit-
Mingham goods.
As the Company will thus enter •at once upon a working busi-
es's, possessing as It dues the nucleus of an extensive trade,
with experienced and acclimatised agents at their stations on
the coot, the shareholders will not have to encounter the
delays and risks attendant upon the formation of new establish-
ments and connections, but reap the advantage of an eetended
apart at a time when trade promisee to be specially active and
Menunerstive.
As regards agencies, the Company will receive consignments
of every kind of produce, and execute indents for kthropean
Pods. at a fair commission.
