ONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Bank, has been brought forward with a capital of
£1,000,000, the first issue to consist of 10,000 shares
of £5O each. This establishment is specially de-
signed to meet the requirements of the business
connected with the agricultural and cattle markets
of the metropolis, and offices will be accordingly
instituted in the, city, at Smithfield,. and near the
Caledonian-road. The operations of parties en-
gaged in transactions with these various
markets are said to represent about twenty
millions sterling per annum, and to be mostly
in the hands of private firms. Provisional
arrangements have been made whereby an estab-
lished connection, under competent and experienced
management, will be obtained, and a profitable re-
turn from the first year's negotiations are confi-

dently anticipated. Allusion is made in the pro

spectus to the successful career of the other new
joint-stock banks, and as a large and powerful
support has been promised, the directors appear
warranted to anticipate similar results.
The London and Liverpool Hotel Company is
before the public with a capital of £120,000 in
6,000 shares of £2O each. The directory is of a
highly respectable character, and the intention of

the promoters is to purchase the Washington Hots

in Liverpool, recently erected there, with all its
appurtenances, of stock-in-trade, furniture,
&c., with a view to co-operation with

similar establishments in London, Mane hes

ter, and other towns of the United Kingdom

as well as in America. The ice-wells included in

dred rooms, and designed and fitted up on the mode]
of the great American and Continental institutions,

Arrangements have been made for the transfer o

the business et once, and cansequently immediate

returns may be expected. s
