PROSPECTUS.

The great success which has attended the operations of the
"Credit Foncier " in France is well known, and is evidenced
by the tact that the original Shares (XlO paid)are now worth
£5O in the market, the la•t dividend decl red being at the
rate of 16 per cent. per annum, after providing a large reserve
fund.
A conviction of the tuivantages which would be derived
from Ihe introduction of the same system into this country,
and of the large profits attendant thereon, has I,d to the for-
mation of the "Credit Foncier ' for Great Britain and Ire-
land, which for Many months past has been under caretui
consideration. Although the objects of this Company are to
some extent identical with those of another undertaking re-
cently introduced, yet the field of operation is ample f tr both,
and there a• e also certain lucrative branches of business pro-
posed to be undertaken by the "Credit Frontier " which do
not anpear to have been contemplated by the Company re-
fe red to.
The transactions of the Credit Companies recently estab-
lished range over a variety of interests, but they do not em-
brace the objects of the " Credit Fonder," as the daily ex-
perience of parties seeking for advances on landed securities
suffioiently testifies.
The "Credit Fonder " will receive mon cy on deposit at
fixed rates, and will issue debentures for ling or short
periods
Advances will be made upon all kinds of in; crests in lands,
buildings, and also upon approved securities, to be repaid as
may be agreed upon.
One of the main objects of this company will be to make
advances upon the deposit of title deeds. Borrowers, to whom
time is frequently of the utmost importance, will thus be
enabled to obtain Loans for short periods, wit bout the delay
and expense to which the, are now invariably subjected, and
to avoid which a high rate of interest will readily be paid:
from this source alone the Directors anticipate that consi-
derable profits will arise.
In addition to the employment of its own resources, the
" Credit Fonder" will act as agent between the capitalist
an the borrower, and will, in such cases. for an adequate
commission, if desired, guarantee the sufficiency of title and
security.
Whilst the commercial value of landed property will thus
be enhanced, and every reasonable facility granted to bor-
rowers, the profits derivable from the various sources of
revenue to arise from the transactions of the company will
be such as to allow of the payment of large dividends to the
shareholders, after making ample allowance for working ex-
penses a,,d a reserve fund.
In the event of no allotment of shares being made, the de-
posit will be returned in full. Should a ess number of shares
be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made
available towards the payment on al iotment, and the balance,
if any, returned to the applicant. Prospectuses and forms of
application for shares may be obtained at the Offices of the
Mercantile Cre it Association, 21, Threadneedle-street, of the
Brokers, and of the Solicitors.
