with a nominal capital of £1,000,000, the first issue
to consist of 10,000 shares of £5O eaeb. The direc-

taking, as its title indicates, is to afford increased
loan and discount facilities to the commercial com-
munity. Arrangements have been made for the
purchase of an established business, and the direc-
tors refer to the profits attending this descripti9
of enterprise, and the success which kindred in-
stitutions have acquired.

material alteration in value.
