P R OSPECTUS.
The " London and Venezuela Bank" has for its proposed
operations a ground unoccupied, and is most urgently re-
quired. Preliminary negotiations have been in progress for
somP months, and the project has been submitted to the
judgment of the most eminent Venezuelan merchants, and
has met with their unerialified approval. Support is promised
in highly influential quarters, and the Directors are assured
that the Govthe
erpnment.rivilege of issuing Bank notes will be accorded by
Messrs. Carl Hahn and G. Servadio, Directors and Repre-
sentatives of the Proprietors in the "Bank of Caracas," have
Joined the Board, and have undertaken, on the establishment
of the "London ana Venezuela Bank,' to to theclosethe r esta-
blishment' a'md to transfer theirbusinessehCaracas has hithertopresent
company. The banking facilities which possessed have been very limited, but the fast that the
Bank of Caracas has despite its restricted means—earned
a net profit exceeding, 30 per cent. per annum, leaves no
doubt that the present undertaking will result in complete
success.
The following', published by Messrs. Matheson and Co.,
While inviting tenders for tin Venezuelan Loan in June last,
will confirm the above statements :
" At present there is almost an entire absence of banking
accommodation in Venezuela. Possessed of eve advantage
ry
of climate and soil, within sixteen days' sail of
England, the
exis ing monetary facilities are quite inadequate to the com-
merce of the country, and to the increasing production and
rapidly extending exports of its coffee, cocoa, cotton, hides,
e.
The advantages of this Institution will be obvious to all
either politically or financially interested in the prosperity of
Venezuela, ana as the rats of interest range flora 10 to 15
per cent.,per annum, the profits may be expected to be consi-
derable '
It may be added, that since that period, owing to the in-
creased and increasing demand for cap tal for the cultivation
of cotton, which is now being exported to England in large
quantities, it finds safe and profitable employment at much
higher rates than those quoted by Messrs. Matheson.
The want of an " Exchange Bank" in Venezuela occasions
the utmost inconvenience and difficulty in buying and selling
foreign bills, and large sums are made by private individuals,
Who, having no direct interest in drawing or remitting, must
be induced to do either one or the other, by the offer of tempt-
ing profits. The "London and Venezuelan Bank" will sup-
ply this want, and ina'much as returns can be made with
thtar greater rapidity from Venezuela than from India, where
e een introduction of banking facilities of a lik nature hs
found extremely profitable, it is certain that this
Branch of the proposed business must be still more reran-
ne•ative.
.The products of Venezuela are coffee, cocoa, cotton, tobacco,
hides, indig-o, dividivi, and dye stuffs, with an immense
variety of others, less known, but equally valuable. Its
,?ifee is of the finest quality, and its cocoa is unequalled. On
ale' now all important article "cotton," the following, from
Ming article in the ' • Daily Telegraph" of the 16th Jaru-
iT!'ll, 1863, will be read with interest, particularly In conneo-
n with banking. and capit .1 :—" From Venezuela the qua-
