The principle of limited liablity is now fully reccgnised
and adopted by the Investing. portion of the public. Perhaps
there is no class of institutions to which that principle has
been more successfully app ied than to the recently esta-
blished financial companies ; and although large capitals
have been subscribed for this purpose, it cannot be denied
that there still remains a wide field open for the profitable
employment of capital both in English and foreign enter-
prises.
This C ompany has already promises of a large amount of
support. and a provisional agreement has been entered into
for acquiring a valuable railway concession, with a Govern-
ment guarantee. Negotiations are also pending for securing
business arising from several undertakings, which will mate-
rially contributeto the success of the company.
It is intended that the shareholders in this company shall,
so far as may be practicable, have the priority in applications
for shares in the various enterprises which maybe introduced
under its auspices,
The operations to be carried on by the company will be the
same as those embraced similar institutions.
The active management of the company will be conducted by
an executive committee, under the supervision and contr.:), of
the Board of Directors. Two of the proposed Committe • have
been many years successfully engat ed in financial operations,
and as an earnest of their confidence in the permanent success
of the Company, have agreed to hold shares in the capital to
a large extent, an ' to be only remun, rated for their services
by receiving a portion of the profits after paying interest to
the shareholders at the rate of five percent. upon the paid-up
capitaL The directors will receive such remuneration as may
be determin d upon by the shareholders at the general meet-
ings. There will be no fees p id to promoters for originating
the Company, but arrangements have been made whereby the
preliminary, expenses have been guaranteed not to exceed
oneqialf per cent. upon the first capital.
More than one-half of the capital has already been applied
for, and the business of the Company will be commenced
immediately after the a 1 dment of the shares.
The articles of association can ba seen on applying at the
temporary offices of the 'Company.
Applications for sheves, in the annexed form, to be made
to the Brokers or Secretary.
If more shares are applied for than are allotted the surplus
of the deposit, on application, will be applied towards the
rayment of the further deposit on the shares allotted. If no
allotment be made the deposils will be rCtutned in full, but
without interest.
