PROSPECTUS.

While Exchange Banks an Credit Institu'ions have been
established to onne t this country financially with almost
every f-,reign market, and to g.ve fact Pies tor conveying to
our stores every deseri tinn of merchandi c, it is remarkable
that as soon as the operation of ,mporVng is performed the
monetary facilities are w thdrawn. The bills drawn upon
our merchants mature, and must either be -net by the mer-
chant's capital unaided or by sales. 'I Inv, when tempo-
rani y there is an excess of any co nmodity imported, its
price is undo y depr,ssed, and s ri,u losses are incurre .
Ordinary bank era and discount houses dislike making ad-
vances i•pon merchandise, having no organisation for exa-
mining' the goods and correct y estimating their value.
What they want are good bills, drawn on those who, know-
ing the value, have accepted for a fair advance. Dwisi,n of
labour is here as elsewhere found to be most convenient and
profitable.
To meet this want, which every merchant must acknow-
ledge, the Warrant Bank ng Company is formed. The bu
ness of the Company will mainly consist in making dv nces
upon deposit of the staple articles of produce, represented by
dock warrants or other means of abs elute assignment, duly
inspected and v lued on behalf of the Company, and with a
proper margin to allow for depreciation.
These advan-es will be mare in a ceptances by the Com-
p ny of the drafts of its customers, and as every bill will re-
nresant mer handise readily convert ble, and b at the sree
time secured by the whole ca ita of a pnweriul Company, the
exact position of which w II be patent to al , there can be no
doubt that the who'e Die ount Market wit I be available when
it is desired by th s holder to turn the bill into c .sh.
It will be readily apparent that the existence of such an
institution, while it will be of great service to mere' ants, an
increase the stability of the entre class, will be an equal con-
venience to bankers and eis.viunt firms, furnishing them with
a class of bills rarely obtainable. In order to render the due
payment of the Company's acceptances certain, the Directors
undertake that the entire paid-up capital of the Company
will be invested, and, so far as practicable, remain invested in
British and B ist Indian Government securities, a-d upon
deposit at call, and it is proposed hat the capita! thus paid
up and invested within the first year shall reach the sum o
at least X200,,.00.
Th, field which exists for such an undertaking will b' at
once apparent from a glance at the lioard.ot Trade returns of
foreign impor s fbr the past year. which amounted (not to
speak of home produce) to over £200,00,000. If we estimate
the average stock of foreign goods held in warehouse, as
equ .1 to three months' consumption, it would represent an
amount of .£50,n00,n00.
Advances may also be made when deemed advisable iv on
locks and Shares, in permanent undertakings readily con-
vertible.
. re ,sonable proportion will always be maintained be-
tween the extent of business undertaken a d the cal ed-up
capital. Should it be necessary, the latter will be increased
to one million sterling, to be invested as already indicated,
simply as a guarantee fund.
Branches will, in due time, be established at Liverpool,

Manchester, Glasgow, Sim.
T is Direc ors will not rec ive any remuneration unlit the
shareholders have been paid £5 per cent. by way of dividend
on their paid-up capital. Atter payment of 5 per cent, the
Directors will receive one-fifth of the nett profits.
No promotion money will be paid for originating this un-
dertaking. The preliminary expenses will be confined to the
necessary disbursements
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be
obtained of the brokers, bankers, solicitors, and at the tem-
porary offices of the Company, but no application for shares
will be considered un ess a deposit of £1 per share has been
wevicra ly p id to the bankers of the Company.
In the event of no a lot ment being mad, the deposit will be
returned without deduction, and shou d the number allotted
be 1 as than the number applied for, the payment in excess
will be applied towards the balance of the deposit.
