PROSPECTUS.

The leading financial bR tablf shmetits in Paris are the Credit
Mobilier and the Credit Fonder; both of which have stood
the test of ekPerience, and have realised very large profits
for their shareholders—the transactions of the Credit l'oncier
being based upon the Land Credit system, whilst the Credit
Mobilier embraces general Financial business.
The wisdom of this division of operations has been fully
realised by the Credit Fonder for Great Britain and Ireland.
which, since its establishment, has found the offers of busi-
ness, both of a Land Credit as well as of a general Financial
character, so large, as to necessitate the formation of the
Credit Mobilier (Limited), to undertake such financial opera-
tions as the Credit Fonder, with due regard to its special ob-
jects, Cannot legitimately carry out.
The principal objects of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), are
as follows, viz. :
To co-operate with other first-class Financial and Indus-
trial undertakin2s.
To negotiate Government and Municipal Loans.
To aid in carrying out concessions, based upon Govern-
ment guarantees and subventions.
To make advances to responsible contractors for English
and foreign railways, and other public works.
To lend on the security of stocks, funds, shares, deben-
tures and other approved securities, with special reference to
the requirements of the Stock Exchange.
The Crc fit Mobilier (Limited) will also receive money on
deposit for long or short per ods.

the various Financial Companies, now in existence, is well

GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA.
The rt port of the directors, to be submitted at a
meeting of proprietors on the 7th proximo, states
from traffic and all other
sources for the half-year have been as
against £439,361 for the corresponding half year of
1562, or an increase of £38,478, or 8.76 per cent.
This increase has been obtained in the face of un-
usually low rater,: for freight throughout the full
and winter, caused by depressed prices of produce,
and by the navigation of ti..";'t.
Lawrence and the
lakes having been kept (Iwo, owing to the mild-
ness of the early winter season, um :I the Close of
the year. Thus the winter rates, fixed a: a higher
scale when the navigation is closed, could not Put
in operation, as heretofore, about the first week in
November. The estimates formed of the harvest of
1863 in Canada and the Western States have not
been fully realized. From these causes it will be
noticed that while the total tonnage of freight car-
ried during the half-year has been :372,984 tons, as
compared with 325,337 tons in 1862, the receipts
have only been £282,067, as against £286,273.
Thus, the freight of the December half of 1862
yielded an average receipt of 1 Ts. 7d. per ton, while
that of 1863 only yielded 155. ld. per ton. The
passenger receipts, on the other hand, show a very
gratifying increase—the number of passengers of
all classes carried having been 529,723, as against
453,926 in the last half of 1862, or an increase of
75,797, or 16.69 per cont. The money earned has
been £170,484, as against £127,180, or on increase
of £43,304, or 34.05 per cent. Thus, while in
1862 the average receipt per passenger was ss. 7d.,
that of 1863 has been 6s. sd. This increase has
been caused by the conveyance of a larger propor-
tion of " through" or long distance traffic. The
amount carried into the accounts for " postal ser-
vice" is merely nominal, no settlement having yet
been arrived at with the Government of Canada,
which is matter of deep regret. This delay
has seriously affected the company's finan-
cial position, preventing it from giving that
increased accommodation which the trade of
the province stands so much in need of, and has
ale) involved great hardship upon the late creditors
of the company, who gave up claims and securities
in order to promote the interests of the undertaking,
and in the confident hope of that just and early
arrangement so often promised, hitherto without
accomplishment. Thu ordinary working expenses
show a total outlay of £275,073, as against £262,307
in 1862, or an increase of £12,766, or 4'86 per cent.,
expended in earning an increase of £38,478, or
8.76 per cent. The percentage of ordinary working
expenses in 1863 is 57.66 per cent., against 59.68
per cent. in 1862. The following statement shows
the progress of the net revenue of the company :
In 1859 it amounted to £73,357; in 1860, to
£102,684 ; in 1861, to £142,492 ; in 1862, to
£170,233; and in 1863, to £289,901. From the
net profit of the half-year—viz., £165,728, there
has to be deducted the (nominal) amount of £13,104
for postal and military service receipts, and
£20,033 for loss on American currency, leaving
(including the balance carried forward from last
half-year of £186), £132,777, which has been
applied, or is now applicable, as follows-2%1.067
to interest on various debentures, including £2,312
instulinrnt of Portland sinking fund, £13,212 rents
of Atlantic and St. Lawrence and _Detroit lines,
£.19,921 interest of first preference bonda, and
£21,715 second preference bonds, leaving it balance
of £532. The half-year's interest accruing on the
first and second preference bonds to the 31st of
December last will bo paid on and after the 15th of
April, on presentation of the coupons at the com-
pany's bankers, and the certificates for the arrears
to be capitalised for the first half-year on the second
preference bonds, and for the Whole
year on the
third and fourth preference stock will be subAr-
fluent ly issued. Thu improvement of the permanent
nay by strengthening and renewal has progressed
rapidly during the half year. No lea, than 801, miles
oftlie line reluid with heavier rails fished atthe joints
have been renewed,
as against tr4l miles in the corre-
sponding half of 1802. The total length of lino re-
laid in the year 1863 has been 125 miles, or nearly
one-eighth of the whole length of the Grand Trunk
R liiwuy syL,teni. The length laid in 1862 was 801
Imes. The number of new sleepers or ties laid in was
in 1862, 302,172, and in 1863, 405,001. The Board
now consider that the time has arrived for com-

mencing the proposed renewal
dually extinguished out of revenue. _
sum of £8,622 has been charged to capital fieztd-
ditional weight of iron and for fish plates, and' a'
£26,035 has been placed to such renewal account.
Arrangements are in progress for the manufacture,
under contract, of steel and steel-headed rails, to be
laid down in place of iron rails on the main line.
The proved results on the London and North Western
line afford most valuable evidence that the new rails
laid down on the busiest portions of their lino have
already lasted 10 times as long as the ordinary iron
rails. It is proposed for the future to charge direct
to revenue £70,000 a year for renewals, and to carry
the excess outlay in the next two years to the re-
newal account, and so far as the extra cost of
" fishing" and of steel are concerned, to capital.
The company's practical officers report that aregular
charge to revenue of £70,000 per annum, equal to
the renewal of 80 miles a year of improved and
strengthened road, will, in the course of five years,
overtake and extinguish tha renewal account este-
blirhed. The outlay on capital account for addi-
tions to the plant and property of the company
has been £47,182, as against £18,142 for 1862.
The former sum includes taia coat of 99 new freight
cars, two new sleeping cars, and two new engines,
being part of the additional plant proposed to be
provided in the last report confirmed by the bond
and share holders. he Canadian Government have
released the £42,500 second preference bonds pre-
viously retained, enabling the use of these securities
for similar necessary outlay. The issue of postal
and military service bonds to the company's credi-
ors now appears in the capital account, as also the
issue of fourth preference stock. The long pending
claim of Mr. Turcotte in connection with the Three
Rivers Branch has, during the half year, been
amicably reified, and the outstanding claims not
disposed of in Canada are now of a very trifling
amount. An agreement has been sealed be-
tween the Grand Trunk and Buffalo and Lake
Huron Companies for mutual facilities of working
and interchange of traffic, and powers will be
sought in the present Session of Parliament to con-
firm the same. The capital account to Dec.3l shows
that X 16,711,400 had been received, andL16,061,703
expended, leaving a balaece of £679,697. Tho
revenue account for the past half year shows that
,L 177,839 had been received and £312,110 expended,
including £37,037 for renewals, leaving a balance
of £165,728.

The report of the directors states that after pay-
ment of the dividends on the preference stock and
shares there remained £108,737, out of which they
recommended a dividend on the ordinary stock at
the rate of (i,l per cent. per annum, leaving a sur-
plus of £l,BBO to be carried to the contingent fund,
which would then amount to £23,713; but from
this must be deducted £2,369 under agreenents
with other companies, £3,200 for renewal of bridges,
and £1,025 for Parliamentary expenses, leaving a
balance of £17,119. The receipts on revenue it c-
count amounted for the half year to £452,181,
against £421,170 f)r the corresponding period of
the preceding year, showing an itcrease of £31,011
the working expenses to £183,531, or 401 per cent.,
against £168,344, or 40 per cent., showing an in.
crease of £15,187. The expenditure on capital
account during the half year amounted to £196,156.
The works on the Cleland and the Stonehouse
branches were approaching completion, and those
of the Itutherglen and Coatbridgo and the Leith
branches were in progress. Those branches would
developo a largo amount of additional traffic, and
the line to Leith would also be the means of saving
a considerable sum now paid for cartage. The ex-
tension to the town of Peebles was opened for
general traffic on Feb. 1. An agreement had been
concluded for the acquisition of the Hamilton and
Strathacen ltailway ; the liability of the company
was restricted to £36,500, in addition to the share
capital of £70,000; and also an agreement for the
purchase of the Glasgow general terminus. 'rho
total liabilities were restricted to £214,000. The
capital account showed that the total expenditure
had been £9,917, leaving a balance of £72,897.
