PROSPWfI'S.
This Company le formed for the rurpcde of carrying on the
business of merchants, under the Joint Stock Companies AK,
with Limited Liability.
The Company proposes to extend to mercantile operations (in
which are comprised home and foreign banking and exchange)
the principle of limited liability, which has proved itself so well
adapted to banking and financial transactlims. It Is believed
that the advantages arising from the periodical publication of
accounts, the security &deeded by large uncalled mauves, and
the combined auperintendeuce of au esperienced Board of Dine-
tors, will be highly appreciated by ell commerchd claws, ape-
daily by consignors of goods and produce to this country.
The soundness of the principle which gave rise recently to
the formatiou of the London Merchants Company has been mai-
venally acknowledged, acid the Directors have endeavoured to
L ursi.mlnit those difficulties which apparently prevented the
continuance of that Company.
In order to secure an immediate basis of operations,
manta have been made with Mews Lane. Beaker. and Co.
the transfer of their business. This firm will liquidate all its
obligations independently oe the Company. hang over only
=en current transactions and account.. as the Bard may wiah
to accept. It ts further proposed to bring In the businesses of
other Inas as favourable oppottuaities
The good-will of the business of Messrs. Lane. flukey, and Co.
ham been purchased for £25,000, In debentures, payable ece.fifth
annually, with 6 per cent. biterest, 113.1.1 4,600 shires, with £l6
each credited as paid thereon. In fixing this amount, the
Directors have taken Into consideration the profits of the firm
during the last six aears, the present prospects of the bulimia,
and the manner in which payment for the good-will has been
accepted., The vendors also guarantee by their personal eon-
'mut a eginimum dividend of 10 per ceoX per annum, d
three years, on the paid-up capital, thereby giving asu
woof of their dung t 0
in the widertaklug. This dividend the
Directors, pending the full development of the Company's opera.
lions propose to pay to the proprietors half-yearly, the first pay-
ment to be made on the 15th April, lege. They may add that
they are most sanguine that this minimum guaranteed dividend
t of 10 per cent. will be largely exceeded before the expiration of
the three years.
The ilinictors refer with satisfaction to the following letter
from the eminent Accountants, Mears. Coleman, Turquand,
Youngs, and Co., In corroboration of the value of the business
of Roma lane, Hanna'', Mid

To the Directors of the Merchants Company (Limited).
Gentlemen,—We beg to state that, hi compliance with the
request of Sierra Los, lienkey, and Co., we have carefully
examined their books, with the view of ascertaining what cow-
mlislons they have made during the last six yams, from
let January, 1869, to eat January. 1866, and find that the gross
commissions during that period amount to £140,763 17s. ild.,
being an average of £23,460 lea. 7d. per annum : and after de-
ducting therefrom "re. urn" commissions, and commissions on
goods bought and *obi by the firm, either on their own account,
or for the execution of orders on hand, the net commissions
earned amount to £101.900 175. 4d., or an average of £17.816
165. 2d. pee annum. This is Irrespective of the result of the
firms Veneer-none on their own account, and of the Insurance
business.
We are ,Gentlemen, your obedient Servants.
