PROSPECTUS.
This Company is established for the purpose of transacting
the ordinary business of a first-crass d scount house. Until
within the 'az t few years this profitable branch of c Ininer-
cial enterprise has been in the hands of a few private capi-
talists, and aitoough from the ma,nitune of discount opera-
tions in the City of London it is a legit ma e bus,n,ss for a
joi t-stock company 0,, ly one such ompany is at present in
exister. ce. This ri,a, partly be accounted for by the want of
experience in the application to such a company of the law of
limited liability, and t e fear in monetary circles that the
pu lie would hesitate to deposit large sums of money wit.' a
compan v so c,)nstituri ed.
This uncertainty, however,nc longer exists, as the Company
referred to ha-eon depos tat the present time over four mil-
lions of money—a significant evidence of the confidence which
t e uhiic is pr pared to place in such in an establishment
when pi ope, ly managed.
The Company alluded to have just declared a dividend at
the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, carrying over to the next
account an amount almost equal to that appropriated to divi;
dends ; while their shares command a premium of £3 15s. to
£4 per share upon £5 paid.
In establishing the City Discount Company (Limited), the
Directors do not pretend to introduce any novelty in their
tranasactions, their aim being to secure a first-class business,
and not to endanger the capital of the Company by taking
undue risks, or adopting any measure that will not tend
safely and legitimately to promote the success of the under-
taking.
The operations of the Company will embrace—
The Discounting of approved Mercantile Bills.
Granting Loans upon negociable Securities.
Receiving; Money on Deposit, at Call, and on Short.
Notice, or for longer periods under special agreements.
The Directors have concluded a preliminary agreement,
which will enable the Company to acquire an existing first-
class business with which to commence operations forthwith.
Applications for shares must be made in the form annexed
to the prospectus, accompanied by the deposit of £1 per share.
If no allotment be made the deposits will be returned in full;
and if a less number be allotted than is applied for the sur-
plus will be used towards the payment on allotment.
Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Shares may be
obtained at the Temporary Offices, and of the Brokers and
Solicitors of the Company.
