PROPECTUS.
The Eastern Exchange BaSnk (Limited), is formed to supply
a want which bas been long felt, and its value will be immc-
diate y recognised.
Although Liverpool enjoys an immense export and import
trade, and is the port through which the valuable manufac-
tures (.1 Lancashire and Yorkshire pass, it has 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
forty millions, and by far the greater portion was shipped
from Liverpool, whilst the produce received in return into
Liverpool was of ava ue of upwards of sixty millions, making
a total of one hundred millions sterling.
Whilst London has upwards of fifty Banks, with branches
in different countries, established for the purpose of affording
every facility in Exchange transactions, there is no Bank of
this description, with i s head-quarters in Liverpool, con-
nected with the East.

The nrofitable n,ture 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 arc in oo,)nection
with Exchange operations,

ritiee, the receipt of dividends, and effict remittances between
