London, August 27, 1864,
Temporary Offices, 80, Lombard-street,
To the SHAREHOLDERS of the CRE DIT MOBILI ER

(Limited).

sheet, it is a source of great satisfacticn to your Directors to
be able to draw your attention to the figures therein stated,
by which you will see that the total net profits from the

ample guarantees given to the bondholders of this loan, The
Credit Foncier, in conjunction with the Credit Mobilier,
had no hesitation in complying with the request of The
City Offices Company, to guarantee to the subscribers the
due observance of its engagements in respect of those
bonds ; the success of placing the whole of this loan at 5
per cent. interest, when its novelty is considered, and the
fact that the Bank rate has been 6 to 8 per cent. during the
whole time of offering the loan, speaks favourably for the
organisation and influence your Companies have obtained.
The Directors, thus far, have spoken of the past ; they
are happy in being able also to allude to the future in terms
of great confidence, having several very important negotia-
tions and transactions in progress which they have reason
to believe will produce highly profitable results.
Your Directors are glad to be able to announce having
secured suitable offices for the Company, at 17 and 18,
Cornhill, on the ground, lower, and upper floors, the
alterations and improvements in which are now being
made, and will be completed by Michaelmas next, where
our business may be transacted with the convenience and
regularity absolutely indispensable.
The Directors new wish to bring formally before the
Shareholders that which doubtless they have heard alluded
to for some time past, for the Directors, acting under the
evident wish of the Shareholders, have made no secret of
their own desire to amalgamate The Credit Foncier and
The Credit Mobilier into one powerful company ; which,
besides removing the anomaly of two distinct bodies of
shareholders being represented by the same directors
and manager, will enable the organisation of the whole
to be more economical; the Foncier Branch for
financial operations in connection with land, and
the Mobilier Branch for general financial busi-
ness, will, as departments, however, be still dis-
tinct: and the Directors in anticipation of this fusion, have
undertaken all operations as near as possible jointly, so as
to leave the profits and liabilities as equal as possible. Re-
solutions to carry this amalgamation into effect will be
submitted to you immediately after tfie ordinary meeting.
Your Directors further, on the supposition that the sb are-
holdersjoin with them in the desire to mate the new amal-
gamated company second to none of the financial companies
now in existence, and with a wish to make it worthy of the
title it is proposed it should have, viz.—THE CREDIT
FONCIER and MOBILIER of ENGLAND (Limited),
have fixed the capital at £2,000,000 in 100,000 shares of
£2O each, which the Directors propose issuing as follows,
viz.-20,000 shares will be issued at par to the holders of
and in exchange for the existing 10,000 Credit Foncier and
10,000 Credit Mobilier shares-30,000 shares to be issued
to the holders of the 10,000 Credit Foncier shares, being
three new shares for one share now held in that Company
—which will be issued as follows, viz.—two of such shares
at £2 13s. 4d. per share premium, and for every
two shares so taken one additional share at par-30,000
shares to be issued to the holders of the 10,000 Credit
Mobilier shares, being three new shares for one share now
held in that Company, which will be issued upon the same
terms as to the holders of the 10,003 Credit Foncier shares
viz.—two shares will be issued at £2 13s. 4d. per share
premium, and for every two shares- so taken one ad-
ditional hare at par—and the remaining 20,000 shares to
be issued to the general public at £2 13s. 4d. per share pre-
mium. This issue will yield in premiums the sum of
£160,000, which, with the £40,000 already put to the re-
serve fund from this half-year's profits, will make that fund
amount to £2;0,000, or £2 per share on the whole 100,000
shares which will then have been issued. The instalments
for paying up the new shares are arranged to extend over
a period of seven months so as to make the payments as
little burdensome as possible ; but as all the 100,000 shares
will participate in the next dividend pro rata, according to
the amount paid up, the option has been reserved to the
shareholders to pay up the instalments at any time, or at
once up to the £5 per share. The paid-up capital will then
amount to £500,000, and the reserve fund to £200,000 ; and
with this result the Directors believe they a:e justified in
anticipating that the influence of the new Company will
be materially augmented.
The leading features during the past half-year have been
the high value of money, and the number of joint-stock
companies that have been introduced to the public. Vai iota
causes have contributed to the former, nor are any signs to
be observed of a probable return to much lower rates ; with
respect to the companies introduced, though undoubtedly
they have been very numerous, it is hoped that the majo-
rity of them are prospering ; and with respect to the capital
absorbed by them, it is believed that it has been subscribed
by that increasing class of investors who wish to participate
in the higher rate of dividend trading companies with
limited liability yield, as compared with the old forms of
investments, much the same, as no doubt will be found to
be the case if the limited Private Partnership Bill, intro-
duced in Parliament last session, should become law next
year. Nor is it our opinion that the desire to share in the
capital of new companies is spasmodical or speculative; it
seems rather to give signs of being a permanent change tak-
ing place in their views of investments by the middle class
of capitalists.
Your Directors, while on the subject of the future, can-
not allow this opportunity to pass without reference to the
prospects before us in a monetary view, and whilst sharing '
the opinions of those writers who look for an active demand
for money during the coming winter, they are satisfied that
the worst times for monetary institutions like ours are not
those when periods of tightness, distrust, and high rates for
money are prevalent, if they have their funds well in hand,
as on referring to the balance-sheet you will find ours to be;
the Directors being of opinion that if the capital in the hands
of a finance company be sufficiently large for its undertak-
ing a full return for capital may then fairly be looked for,
and the power of the capitalist (which a welt managed com-
pany should ever represent) will be then appreciated alike
to the convenience of those seeking as to the profit of those
lending capital ; and though for the moment financial com-
panies may be called new institutions, the day is assuredly
drawing nigh when their vocation and position will be as
clearly defined and recognised as some time after their ens
tablishment were joint-stock banks.
The Directors have the pleasure to announce that five
gentlemen of great influence and high position have joined
the board of the amalgamated company, in addition to your
present Directors.
The accounts have been audited by F. Maynard, Esq.,
of Bread-street, and W. B. Ford, Esq., auditor of the
Joint-Stock Discount Company, both public accountants
of high repute.
In conclusion, your Directors wish to recall to the minds
of shareholders the words used by them in toe original
prospectus of the Credit Mobilier, in alluding to the pro-
fincluding the Credit Mobilier of Paris, which had then just
sperous results of the then existing financial companies,
declared 25 per cent. dividend per annum. Then they
thus expressed themselves :
" The Directors of the Credit Mobilier Limited (your
Company) anticipate with confidence that results equally
