The " London and Venezuela ROSPECTUSBank" has for its proposed
Operations a ground unoccupied, and is most urgently re-
quired. Preliminary negotiations have been in progress for
Dodo
months, and the project has been submitted to the
,tidgneent of the most mehants, an
hiu as met with their unepeminentalified approval. Venezuelan
Supporrt c
is promised highly influential quarters, and the Directors are assured
that the privilege of issuing Bank notes will be accorded by
the Government.
Messrs. Carl Hahn and G. Servadlo, Directors and Repre-
entatives of the Proprietors in the " Bank of Caracas," ' have
Joined the Board, and have undertaken, on the establishment
of the "London and Venezuela Bank," to close their esta-
blishment, a• d to transfer their busine: is to the present
company, The banking tacilities whicu Caracas has hitherto
Possessed have been very limited, but the feet that the
Bank of Caracas has despite its restricted means—earned
a net profit exceeding 30 per cent. per annum, leaves no
doubt that the present undertaking will result in complete
Success.
The following, published by Messrs. Matheson and Co.,
while inviting tenders for th Venezuelan Loan in June last,
Will confirm the above statements :
" At present there is almoA an entire absence of banking
accommodation in Venezuela. Possessed of every advantage of clim tte and soil, within sixteen days' sail of England, the
exheing monetary facilities are quite inadequate to the com-
merce of the country, and to the increasing production and
rapidly extending exports of its coffee, cocoa, cotton, hides,
nice.
The advantages of this Institution will be obvious to all
either politically or financially interested in the prosperity of
Venezuela, and as the rates of interest range from 10 to 15
per cent• per annum, the profits may be expected to be consi-
erable."
It may be added, that since that period, owing to the in-
'creased and increasing demand for cap;tal for the cultivation
of cotton, which is now being exported to England in large
quantities, it finds safe and profitable employment at much
higher rates than those quoted by Messrs. Matheson.
The want of an " Exchange Bank" in Venezuela occasions
the utmost inconvenience and difficulty in buying and selling
rforeign bills, at d large sums are made by private individuals,
aeho, having no direct interest in drawing or remitting, must
induced to do either one or the other, by the offer of tempt-
tog profits. The "London and Venezuelan Bank" will sup-
Ply this want, and inasmuch as returns can be in.,de with
tar greater r pidity from VannuelA than from India, where
tthe introduction of banking facilities of a like nature has
een found extremely profitable, it is certain that this
ranch of the proposed business must be still more remu-
ze,ative.
.The products of Venezuela are coffee, cocoa, cotton, tobacco,
4114t,k'a, dividivi, and dye stuffs, with an immense
Nrt riety of others, less known, but equally valuable. Its
...Wee is of the finest quality, and its cocoa is unequalled. On
