the grow +d floor and mcz .sine floor toting, rented by she
Credit obider ant Credit Fancier Companies. These Pre-
mises arc Leas-hold fur / years, at a ground-rent of £6.0
per annum. • •
Rims D consists ef the new and substantial block of
Offices, erected si ithin the •ast three year s, and arc built in
the most übstan it manner. It oestrous fifty-five offices, be-
sides vaults, the whole, exc. piing four, being let, and offers
being made for these. It is Frecho d, has a frontage ot n 2
feet anal depth of B.lfeet,centa.ins 4,1110 equare
feet, tied is dal cued a: 6 , Great Tower-street, near Mark
lase.
Block E is the largest block in the City ; it Is
sitate in
llishopsgate-street, opposite St. Helen's-plac, with a
thorou Mare to be got through to Old Broad-street, and in
the centre of the block adjoins Gresham House ; it contains
25,.00 squire feet. It may be convenient to give au idea of
the size of this fine site ot land, to say that it is more than
four times the size of the Auction Mart, lately sold, and when
covered will be among the largest and mostconveniently ar-
ranged Offices in the City. This plot is Leasehold for 90
years, at a ground rent of .£4,000 per annum.
The price at which the City Offices Company (Limited) has
agreed for the purchase of the whole ot the before enume-
rated five blocks is .£165,000, including all buildings thereon;
this price gives. after adding thereto the cost of purchasing
the freehold f the whole of the leasehold portions, and de-
ducting* the value of the new buildings thereon, an average
price of only .£0 per square foot. which, compared with the
prices paid for the three last properties within six weeks,
gives thelollowing results, viz.:—
Thu Auction Mart (Freehold), containing an area of about
5,80. square foot, cost £ t r 1,25 , which gives an average of £2O
per foot
The Leasehold Premises, No. 80, Lombard-street, occupied
by the Colonial Insurance Compsny, containing only 1,080,
feet, sold to a well-knows Banker for £3 1,000, subject to a
grou d-reut of £5OO per annum, for 61 years, which, a, low-
mg as in former calculations tor purchase of freehold, and
deducting the value of new buildings thereon, gives £37 per
square foot.
The Leasehold Premises in Finch-lane, lately occupied by
t' e London and Middlesex Bank, containing only 6,0 feet,
realised ..£lO,. 0, and this subject to a ground-rent of £5
per annum, which, allow ng nor purchase of freehold, and
deducting value of new building, gives about £3O per square
foot.
It will be seen, therefore, that if large profits can be rea-
lised, as they undoubtedly can be, on land costing £‘o, L 3 ,
and £37 per foot respectively, the prospects and probable
profits of those acquired by this Company, costing only £9
per foot, will be evident at first sight ; it they were re-sold
at even the 1, west of these three quetations, it would leave
the City Offices Comeau (Limited) a very large profit on the
cost.
The Company's plan of operations will consist in adapting
such of these premises as may be suitable' and erecting new
buildings on the remainder, the whole to be let off as Offices
suitable for Banks, largo Companies, or Commercial and
Professional Firms ; and from calculations made, based upon
moderate rentals, a return of from r 5 to 20 per cent. on the
outlay may be fair y relied on. The Company will also from
time to time acquire other properties. as the op, ortunities
present themselves, f r the purpose of re-sale or otherwise.
By the issue of Debentd es or otherwise. the paid-up Share
Capital will be kept at the lowest possible point.
It is believed that as an essentially Home Investment, one
so secure, and at the same time so remunerative, is rarely
brought to the notice of the public, being wholly free irom
the speculative character incidental to many joint-stock en-
terprises ; the model on which the business operations will
be conducted will be that of Gresham House Chambers, in
Old Broad-street. City Bank Chambers, Threadneedle-street.
and County Chambers, Lombard-street, the success of waich
is well known, the only difference being, that whilst those
properties are in the hatuis of a few capitalists, the proper-
ties
acquired by this Company w llbe distributed over a large
body of Shareholders, which will thus put investors of mode-
rate means in the same position to reap the advantages of
large returns oa City property, which the magnitude of the
amounts required has hitherto made it impossible to aoy but
very wealthy men to undertake.
In the a lot nent of Shares, a proportion will be reserved
for applicants who .re Shareholders in the Mercantile Credit
Association (Limited), and the Credit Fonder (Limited) ; the
remainder will be distributed among the general public.
In the vent of no allotment of Shares being made, the de-
posit will be returned in full. Should a les, number of Shares
be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made
avatabie towards the payment due on allotment, and the
balance, it any, returned so the applicant.

PROSPECTUS.
While Exchange Banes an Credit Institu ions have been
established to < onne t this country financially with almost
every f 'reign market, and to g ve fact ties tor conveying to
our s' ores every dem*, tion of mei char di c, it is remark ab'e
that as soon as the operation of mport'ne• is performed the
monetary facilitie4 are withdrawn The bills drawn upon
our merchants mature, and must either be *net by the mer-
chant's capital unaided, or by sales. hu , when tempo-
rari y there is an excess of any co emodity imeorted, its
price is undu y depr,sed, and s ri u losses are incurre
ordinary !sinkers and discount houses dislike making ad-
vances pon merchandise. having no organisation for exa-
mining the goods and correct y estimating their value.
What they want are good bills, drawn on those who, know-
ing the value, have accepted for a fair advance. Division of
labour is he. e as elsewhere found to be most convenient and
profitable.
To meet this want, which every merchant must acknow-
ledge, the Warrant Ranking Company is formed. The bu i-
ness of the Company will mainly :onset in making dv nces
upon deposit of the staple articles of produce, represented by
dock warrants or other means of absolute assignment, duly
inspected and v lued on behalf of the Company, and with a
proper margin to allow for depreciation.
These advenees will be ma le is a ceptances by the Com-
p ny of the drafts of its customers, and as every bill will re -
nresont mer handise readily convert ble, and b • at the same
time secured by the whole ca itas cf a poweriul Company, the
exact position of which wig be patent'to ale there can be no
doubt that the whole Dis ount Market will be availablewhen
it is desired by th • holder to turn the bill into c ,sh.
It will be readily apparent that the existence of such an
institution, while it will be of great service to meros ante, an i
increase the stability of the ent re c'ass, be an equal con-
venience to bank et s and nis ount firms,f urnishing them with
a class of bills ra-ely obtainable. In order to render the due
payment of the Company's acceptances certain, the Directors
undertake that the entire paid-up capital of the Company
will be invested, and. so far as practicable, remain invested in
British and }list Indian Government securities, and upon
deposit at call, at d it is propos-d hat the capital thus paid
up and invested within the first year shall reach the sum of
at least £200,' oe.
Th field which exists for such an undertaking will be at
once apparent from a glance at the Board of Trade returns of
foreign impor s for the past year. which amounted (not to
speak of home produce) to over £200,t 00,000. If we estimate
the average stock of for ign goods held in warehouse, as
equil to three months' consumption, it would represent an
amount of .E50,e00,000.
Advances may also be made when deemed advisable non
Mocks and Shares, in permanent undertakings readily con-
vertible.
A. re isonable proportion will always he maintained be-
tween the extent of business undertaken a-si the cal ed-up
capital. Should it be necessary, the latter will be increased
to one million sterling, to ba invested as already indicated,
simply as a guarantee fund.
Branches will, in due time, be established at Liverpool,
Manchester. Glasgow, &a. dm.
Tne Diren ors will not receive any remuneration until the
shareholders have been paid £5 per cent. by way of dividend
on their paid-up capital. Alter payment of i per cent, the
Directors will receive one-fifth of the nett profits.
No promotion money will be paid for originating this un-
dertaking. The preliminary expt.nses will be confined to the
necessary disbursements
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be
obtained of the brokers, bankers, solicitors, and at the tem-
porary offices of the Company, but no application for shares
will be considered un'ess a cl.:posit of .£1 per share has been
pi ester ly p id to the bankers of the Company.
p, the event of no a lotment beingmadc the deposit will be
returned without deduction, and show d the number allotted
be 1 'es than the number applied for, the payment in excess
will be applied towards the balance of the deposit.
