the company has been started with a view to im•
)ort into the English markets a supply of healthy
!Mlle, chiefly from the southern parts of Europe, to
fleet the increasing demand for animal food ; and
he directors are of opinion that a most pro-
fitable fiole is thus opened up for the safe
Investment •of a large amount of capital.
Phe directors advert to the late and existint
mortality amongst cattle in this country, and are
'f opinion that the inefficient means of the
rensport of cattle (which they propose to
'emedy entirely) is one of the principal
Ithees. They propose to engage practical men to
elect and purchase their cattle, and to provide cor-
teges and trucks of an improved construction from
he various ports of debarkation, with suitable
,ePots, pasturage, &c., for stock. The directors
'Else their confidence in the success which they are
anguine will follow the immediate operations of the
ompany upon the immense importation of foreign
attle into London in the ordinary course of com-
teree, and the large fortunes which have been
salised by private enterprise. From close calcula-
ons which have been made, they are of opinion
-tat from 20 to 2:5 per cent. of profit will be de.
Ned from their operations on all capital invested.
'he practical knowledge possessed by the several
'ell-known names which Rill be found on the
oard of directors Is a guarantee that the company
'ill have all the aid which a practical experience
an give in the development of the object for which
3e company is established, and the investors in the
apital stock have ample grounds for confidence
1 its financial management.
