The Commercial Company of Africa :Limited) has been formed
for the purpose of conducting. upon an e dangle. scale, a trade
In the Bights of Benin, Maria, the River Niger, and other parts
of Africa, chiefly by barter, of European manufactured Roods for
palm oil, palm-not kernels, ground nuts, gold dust, ivory, cot.
ton, and other produce : also for the purpose of manufacturing
oil from the kernels of the palm-nut. The West Coast of Africa
Is known as the most prolific source from whence this
,kindoms
to supplied with palm oil, palm and ground hence
this
and nu-
merous other products equally valuable in the Loutish market,
which are obtained by mesas of bartering Manchester. Glasgow,
Birmingham, and various other manufactures, at very remunera-
tive prate. The value of palm oil alone imported Into Great
Britain snow illy averages about g 2,1100,000 sterling.
The whole of this trade has until lately been confined to a
very limited number of houses, some of them having realised
large fortunes. The amalgamation of a few of these Arms and
their conversion Into the Company of African Merchants tLi
raised) has proved a success, and the results of undertakings of a
similar character to the present show that a most
legitimate and remunerat.ve channels for the investment of

The Directors have sallafaction in stating that the Company
has already secured, by provisional agreement, the stock aud

(Limited), with all Its connections and desirable e-talsiiihineuts.
at the most important points in the Bight of
inner d Liberia
and which have been ceded to this Company,e
of the capital of that Company being much too limited to carry
on the trade.
This Compeny has also acquired all the interests of the said
Company in a manufactory already established to Africa for the
purpose of extracting oil from the kernels of the palm-nut.
The machinery (London made) is in complete working order, and
the oil which can be produced thereby Is of a much low de-
sctiption than the ordinary palm-nut oil now made by the
natives.
The whole of these establishments are eonsoletely organised
and in working order, large shlomenta of produce of the finest
d. scription being received monthly from Africa the buildings,
which are constructed of Iron, are erected on freehold laud
situated in the most desirable localities. The business is
exclatively by barter, the produce being brought by thealmost na-
tives into the warehouses, and there exchanged for merchan-
dise: there is, therefore, little or no risk of loss by bad debts
end the Directors feel metalled that, with an adeqoate capita
at their command. realise for rho
they will be enabled to
shareholders a handsome dividend.
Ibe Company will not pay anything for the business con-
nexions and goodwill of the London and African Trading Com-
pany, but simply take over the stock and plant by valuation,
to be made in the aszal way, the whole being in good and mer-
chantable condition, and well adapted to the requirements of
! the Company: and it In computed that a sum of from £15,000 to
A 20,000 will cover the whole of this purchase. The Directors
have reason to believe that the shareholders in the London and
. African Trading Company will subscribe for shares in this Coto-
, lousy nearly equal to their working capital at present love ted in
that Company.
In conjunction with some of the stations already In working
operation. it is contemplated to establish factories in certain
wts of the river Niger, where it has been ascertained
ned that
large tjuantities of palm oil, Ivory, , may be readily obtai
in exchange for various descriptions of Manchester and Mr
minghain goods.
As the Company will thou enter at once upon a working bust-
nms, possessing as It does the nucleus ofd extensive trade,
with experienced and acclimatiaed agents their sfatiosis on
thn coast, the shareholders will not have to encounter the
delays and risks attendant upon the formation of new establish-
ments and commodities, but reap the advantage of an extended
capital at • time when trade promises to be specially active and
remunerative.
As regards agencies, the Company will receive consignments
of every kind of produce, and execute indents for European
goods, eta fair commisaion.
Applications for shares lathe form annexed to the prospectus
to be left with the banker' or brokers upon payment of the de-
posit of £1 perabase. If no allotment is made the deposit will
he returned in full, and if alma no ester of shares be allotted
than Is applied tor, th- deposit will, so far as required, be ap-
plied towards the payment due on allotment.
Prortuses, and forms of application for shares, may be had
of the brokers, bankers, and solicitors, arid at the °likes of the
Company, where the memorandum and Articles of Association,
together with the provisional agreement, may be Inspected.
