ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
This Company is formed to carry out upc n a much enlarged
scale the operations of two well established and lucrative
businesses, hitherto tra,,infr as the Imperial Wine Company
and the International Wine Company
The object of these businesses has been, by means of their
numerous connections amongst wine merchants, grocers, kc.,
throughout the country, to supply wines direct from the
rowers, and to give to the consumer the immediate advan-
age in price and quality which the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer placed witlin their reach by reducing the duties upon
forei n wines and licenses for sale thereof.
The entire business connections of these existing estab-
ments in full profitab e working order, have been most ad-
vantageously purchased ; and in proof of tilt bona fide nature
of the undertaking, three-fourths of the whole purchase-
money for stock, fixtures, and goodwill, will be paid in shares
of the new Company. The vendors will continue to assist in
its management, and the Directors have themselves sub-
s ribed for a large proporti n of the first issue of shares.
Directors' remuneration to be one-tenth of the net profits.
One h gh y remunerative feature of this Company wilcon-
slot in the powers which h ye been taken to employ surplus
capital in advances upon wine and spirit warrants, ke.
A copy of the Articles of Association may be seen at the
offices of the Company, and Prospectu- es, with Forms of
Application for Shares obtained at the Broker., Solicitors, or
Secretary.
N.8.--The scope afforded for this Company may be Illus-
trated by the simple fact that since the new vendors of wines
have been called into existence by the Cnancellor of the Ex-
chequer's legislation, t e annual consumption has increased
nearly tiro-fold upon ordinary wines, and three-fold upon
cheap French wines—vide the Chancellors last Budget,

POSPECUS.
The Eastern Exchange Bank (LiTmited), is formed to supply
a want which has been long felt, and its value will be imm
diate y recognised.
Althbugh Liverpool enjoys an immense export and import
trade, and is the port through which the valuable manufac-
tures f Lancashire and Yorkslyre p a ss, it h.B 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 ava ue 01 upwards of sixty millions, making
total of one hundred milbons 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 is head-quarters in Liverpool, con-
nected with the East.
The nrofitable nature of Exchange business is well 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,
