The International Financial Society (Limited) have been
tncouraged to aid in the organisation of this Company by the
strong desire for its success evinced by the Chambr of Agri-
culture and the commercial boiy in Mauritius, ago by the
ready support it has met with from leading houses connected
'with the colony.
The progress of the island as a sugar-producing colony has
of late been extremely rapid. The production of sugar has
alore than doubled within the last twelve years ; and the
Coc of last year (viz., 186?-63) exceeded 150,( 00 tons.
within the same period of time there has been an increase
1r 130,600 in the population. consisting, for the most part, of
'allisn immigrants who are becoming permanent settlers.
Railways, the first section of which will probably be opened
?My next year, are in course of construction ; and cannot fail
arl her to develop the resources of the island.
The annual exports have for the last five years exceeded,
Vn' an average, £9,500,0,0 ; while the imports have, during
e same period, amounted to little more than £2,00J.000.
The colonial budgets have, for many years past, shown, on
„
average,
a large surplus.
The legal rate'of interest on mortgages in Mauritius is 9
reCent. ; and the Company in raising money in England on
bentures, for investment in the colony, will preserve such
formargin as, together with the commission they may receive
their agency, should enable them to realise a large profit
on the small amount of paid-up capital required to conduct
the business.
With a view to secure the debenture holders, it will be a
!tile that the total amount raised by the Company on Deben-
tures shall never exceed the amount invested in Mortgages ;
and that investments shall be made only in First Mortgages,
and for amounts not exceeding half the estimated values of
the properties offered as security.
Arrangements hay.,, already been made for placing the first
18,ue of delymturea on satisfactory terms.
For Mortgage Loans in Mauritius, of .six years and up-
Irarde. the -borrowers will be required to contribute half-
Zearly to a Sinking Fund, on the principle of "Credit
onder," which has been applied w ith so much advantage to
both lender and borrower in many parts cf the Continent of
ttrope.
addition to employing its own capital, the Company will
-arrest the money of constituents, guaranteeing interest, or
- Principal and interest, as may be agreed upon.
There is in Mauritius an efficient register of original titles
land,to
connected with the " Land Court" of the island ; and
"''° a Transcription Office, where successive titles may be
traiseci.
The mortgage investments made by the Government say-
ings bank of Mauritius, during the last twenty-five years,
prove that investments judiciously made under the mortgage
taw of the island are eminently secure.
A• new law which is passing through the Local Legislature
r.,11 reduce the operation of lending on mortgage to a eondi-
ion
of still greater simplicity and safety.
4be management of the Company will be vested in the
lloard of Directors in London, assisted by a Board in Mau-
ritius
Rag influential support given to the Company both
and and Mauritius, and the great want of such an insti-
"ion, must secure an ample field for safe and lucrative ope-
rations.
iThe Directors of the International Financial Society feel,
thereforei, no hesitation in recommending the undertaking, to
le favourable notice of the public.
