PROSPECTUS.
NAlfil°ugh the system of joint-stock banking, has been este.-
tsisadeci to meet the require nents of most de partme ats of
-4,e, it has rot been introduced for the business of the agri-
!!iltural and cattle markets of the metropolis ; and t hough
toe Population has doubled within the last 25 years, and, con-
tegil ntly, the necessary quantity of supplies, yet the whole
Ilainess, amounting to 15 to 2 millions per annum, is left in
the hands of a few private firms.
The Albion Bank is introduced to prod 'e increased facili-
ties for this t rs de by establishing an office In the City, as well
4s at Smithfield and the Metropolitan Cattle Market ; and
subsequently should it be Sound desrab'e, by opening branches
fu the agricultural districts.
he value of the rapidly-increasing commission business
to be transacted by the Albion Bank can be readily appre-
ciated by a knowledge that the method in which dealings are
circled on at the Cattle Market consti utes the Bank the
Prodepository of all the moneys passing from the buyer to the
u, cr.
The Metropolitan Meat or Poultry Market in in Smithfield,
now in course of erection, is destined, by the terms of the
8
,t of Parliament to combine and suersede all other mar-
t for meat in the metropolis. To this market will be con-
centrated all transactions for the supply of butchers' meat.
poultry, and other produce to the inhabitants of the metro-
PO2lB and a circle of 14 miles round it.
for
he Direcsors having confirmed the provisional agreement
~.,,,111„0 purchase of the lucrative busineas of Messrs. Challis
oon, the advantage of commencing upon an established
_.t?oection, under competent and experienced anagement
i;_111 be secured to shareholders from the commetremt nt of
tg„B,,idess, by whicli the directors are warranted in expecting
nr"'‘' theY will be enabled to declare a dividend during the
' 8„", ar.
t the number of joint-stock banks may be advan-
igvously increased (more particularly under special eir-
rmatance., such as have led to the formation of the
„. -*Po Bank), is demonstrated by the fact that, so late
BI.X years ago, when the number of joint-stock banks
London was not more than six, their total deposits
sale, not exceed £2?,000,000 ; while, now that the number
1(1? these banks has been doubled, the joint deposits are
Th adY more than trebled, amountmg to a total ot £71,702,300.
„,_e dividends of the older banks ramr,e from 15 to 30 per
s'a„tt., in accordance with the da es of their establishment :
c„-,',,the preius on their shares are tram 260 to 300 r
of in a Precisely similar ratio. The deposits and dividends
the joint-stoce banks recently farmed show a rapid pro-
gress towards identical results.
Should no allotment take place, the deposits will be re-
Trued in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted
Lt_tall are applied for, the deposit will be made available to-
wards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any,
returned t a the a plicant.
