Discount at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum will be allowed
on pre-payments in full, making, with allowances, the price
of issue under £55.
In case of non-allotment, the deposit will be returned,
Should a less amount be a lotted than that applied for, the
deposit will be made availab'e towards payment on the

The object of the Loan is to effect a settlement of the
general financial condition of the country, to assist in mak-
ing roads and imnroved communications, inland and coast-
wise, to pay off some existing claims, and generally to
develope the agricultural resources and industry of the

The Loans, Interest, and Sinking Fund are secured by a
special hypothecation of the whole export duties leviable at
the ports of the Republic, La Guayra, Puerto Cabello, Mara-
caibo, and Ciudad Bolivar. These are warranted by the Go-
vernment as wholly uncharged (or that, if any claims can be
substantiated, they shall be met out of the proceeds of the
Loan), and as producing more than sufficient to meet the
charge of the present Loan. The produce of the Export
Duties last year is stated to have been £221,500, and an in-
crease is expected. In the event of any deficiency, the amount
is to be made good by a further special hypothecation of the
uncharged import duties at all the ports of Venezuela.

lection of the duties •o hypothecated by her majesty's Consuls

ment of the interest and redemption or the debt, as follows :
£90,000 to be applied in the first instance to the paymentof

£30,000 to a sinking fund ; this amount being augmented
periodically by the interest on bands that shall have been
bought up or redeemed.

To profit and loss ....

This Company has been formed for the purpose of Requir-
ing real property in London, including leaseholds, for build-
ing thereon. letting, or selling.
Particular attention will be directed to the acquisition of
propertie in first-rate localities, where, by the erection of
suitable buildings, a large profit can be dqnved.
With this view a contract has been entered into with a firm
who are amongst the largest private owners in the City of
London, for the purchase of their city properties, which
cover an area of nearly an acre and a halt, and are situated in
Graceohurch-street, Fcnchurch-street, Mincing-lane, and
Mark-lane. Plana can be seen at the offices of the solicitors.
In this purchase it is stipulated that the vendors shall
guarantee for a period of years a minimum return upon the
purchase money, which will secure at once a liberal dividend
to the shareholders, and which will be further increased
when the contemplated improvements are, as they shortly
will be, fully carried out.
The Company wilt have the advantage of borrowing on
their debentures, at rates of interest much under the per
tentage guaranteed; and for the present it has been arranged
with the vendors that the larger portion of their purchase
money shall remain unpaid at 4 per cent. interest.
It is a peculiarity attached to land in the City that the ex-
tent of business to be conducted in its very limited space is
daily increasing. The value of the time of successful traders,
and the convenience of particular locauities, are found to Le
of more moment than question of rent.
The accommodation allotted to the produce markets in the
the neighbourhood of these properties has within the last
few years been doubled, yet the scale of rent has increased in
a greater degree, and there seems every reason to anticipate
that the demand for first-class offices in these localities will
continue to be in advance cf t .e supply.
Eight thousand shares are subscribed for, the remaining
twelve thousand are offered ,o the public.
In case of no allotment the deposit will be returned.
