PROPECT US.
The Eastern Exchange BaSnk (Limited), is formed to supply
a want which has been long felt, and its value will be immc
diate:y recognised.
Although Liverpool enjoys an immense export and import
trade, and is the port through which the valuable manufac-
tures ( f Lancashire and Yorkshire pass, it h(s not a single
Bank connected w,th the Mediterranean, the East Indies,
China, or Australia.
The exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures
to the above countries for the year 1863 amounted to about
forty millions, and by far the greater portion was shipped
from Liverpool, whilst the produce received in return into
Liverpool was of a va ue of upwards of sixty millions, making
a total of one hundred mill;ons sterling.
Whilst London has upwards of fifty Banks, with branches
in different countries, established for the purpose of affording
every facility in Exchange transactions, there is no Bank of
this description, with i s head-quarters in Liverpool, con-
nected with the East.
The profitable nature of Exchange business is we'l known,
and the practice which has become so general of attaching
Bills of Lading to Bills of Exchange renders this the safest
description of Banking business.
Some evidence of the safety and profitable character of the
business is afforded by the present values of the undermen-
tioned Banks, whose chief sources of profits are in connection
with Exchange operations,

The Eastern Exchange Bank (Limited,, will have its head-
quarters in Liverpool. Branch Banks will be firmed, in the
first instance, at Alexandria, Bombay, Calcutta, China, and
Australia, and as the business develops, at other places.
The Directors of the Eastern Exchange Bank will make
arrangements for Lou ion business, constituting a first-c:ass
London Banking Agency on mutually advantageous terms.
1 he business of the Bank will chiefly consist in negotiating
mercantile bills of exchange, granting drafts, in negotiating
and collecting bi,ls payable at places where the Bank has
Branches or Agencies. It will issue circular notes and let-
ters of credit, will undertake the purchase and sale of secu-
rities, the receipt of dividends, and effect remittances between
the several places, including London, at which its Agencies
and Branches will be established.
The Bank is founded under " The Companies A
