ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

Although the system of joint-stock banking has been esta-
blished to meet the requirements of most departments of
trade, it has r ot been 'ntroduced for the business of the agri-
cultural and cattle markets of the metropolis ; and though
the population has doubled within the last 25 years, and, con-
tequ ntly, the necessary quanit of.supplies, yet the whole
witness, amounting to 15 to 2 )million per annum, is left in
the hands of a few private firms.
The Albion Bank is int roducc d to provi 'e increased facili-
ties for this tri de by establishinc an office in the City, as well
as at Smithfield and the Metropolitan Cattle Market ; and
!iubsequently. should it be found desrable, by opening branches
in the agricultural districts.
The Metropolitan Meat or Poultry Market in in Smithfield,
tow in course of erection, is destined, by the terms of the
Act of Parliament, to combine and supersede all other mar-
kets for meat in the metropolis. To this market will be con-
centrated all transactions for the supply of butchers' meat,
poultry, and other produce to the inhabitants of the metro-
Polls and a circle of 14 miles round it.
Should no allotment take place, the deposits will be re-
turned in full. Should a less number es, shar sbe allotted
than are applied for, the deposit will be made available to-
wards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any.
returned to the a plicant.
b Anialication for shares may be addressed to the bankers.
rokers, or directors of the Company, and to the secretary at
the offices of the Company.
