PROSPECTUS.

This Company is an extension of the Credit Foncier
(Limited) and of the Credit Mobilier (Limited) which were
established, the former for financial business in connection
with land, the latter for general financial operations.
The unexampled success achieved by those companies,
whose reports, just published, show the amount of net
profits,upon a paid-up capital amounting jointly to £lOO,OOO,
to be at the rate of upwards of 190 per cent. per annum, and
who have each declared a dividend and bonus of £2 per
share on £5 paid for less than six months' working, besides
carrying £40,000 to the reserve fund, and the enormous ac-
cession of business of both companies render it absolutely
essential to increase the capital, and thus enlarge the basis
of their operations.

With this view it has been determined to found the pre-
sent powerful institution, which will absorb the two com-
panies, and will take over the whole of their assets, include
ing their united reserve fund, amounting to £40,000. and
will also of course assume their engagements, and the
Directors believe that the increased means the issue of
new capitll will place in their hands will enable them to
effect even greater results than have been already achieved.

The distribution of the shares will be made in the follow•
ing manner, by which it will be seen that a liberal propor-
tion has been appropriated for allotment amongst the gene-
ral public.

Credit Foncier (Limited) at par. in exchange for
the like number of shares now held by them.

of £2 13s 4d per share, and for every two shares
