PROSPECTUS.
The Eastern Exchange Bank (Limited), is formed to supply
a want which has been long felt, and its value will be imm,2-
diate y recomised.
Although Liverpool enjoys an immense export and import
trade, and is the port through which the valuable manufac-
tures f Lancashire and Yorkshire piss, it h4B not a single
Bank connected w,th the Mediterranean, the East Indies,
China, or Australia.
The exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures
to the above countries for the year 1863 amounted to about
fbrty millions,
from Liverpool, •
whilst the produce received in return into
and 'oy far the greater portion was shipped
Liverpool wa
P..
a total of of a va tie or upwards of sixty millions, making
o,;ie hundred millions sterling.
WhilPA London has upwards of fifty Banks, w:th branches
in dif.ierent countries, established for the purpose of affording
every facility in Exchange transactions, there is no Bank of
this description, with Ls head-quarters in Liverpool, con-
nected with the East.
The nrofitable nature of Exchange business is we'l known,
and the practice which has become so general of attaching
Bills of Lading to Bills of Exchange renders this the safest
description of Banking business.
Some evidence of the safety and profitable character of the
business is afforded by the present values of the undermen-
tioned Banks, whose chief sources of profits are in connection
with Exchange operations,

rities, the receipt of dividends, and effect remittances between

and Branches will be established.
The Bank is founded under "The Companies Act, 142,"
whereby the respec(ive liability of each Shareholder is
