PROSPECTUS.
Encouraged by the desire of the Government of his High-
ness
the Viceroy of Egypt, several Commercial Houses and
Society have united to form this Company:—
The International Financial Society, London.
Messrs. Fruhling and Goschen, London.
Messrs. Marcuard, Andre, and Cie., Pails.
Mr, IV. F. Jaeger, Frans fort.
Mr. S. Sulzbach, Frankfort.
Messrs. Oppenlietm, Nephew, and Cie., Alexandria.
Messrs. Dervieu and Cie., Alexandria.
The object of the Company is to devote special attention to
the development of Commerce with Upper Egypt, Nubia, the
Soudan, and adjoining countries, as well as the borders of the
Sea, and to establish trading relations with those dis-
lints. the enormous resources of which—till now almost un-
developed—are so well known as to render it needless to
enter into a lengthened description.
The Company will buy or exchange the produce, which
!onsists of cotton, coffee, sugar, rice, tobacco, gums, oils,
ivory, senns, beeswax, ostrich feathers, gold dust, silk, in-
digo, '
The Viceroy of Egypt has, by the grant of a liberal subsidy,
sailed into existence a Steam Navigation Company for the
Red Sea and the Nile; he is also about, with the view of as-
sisting the operations of this Company, to complete, at his
Own expense, telegraphic communication between Alexandria
and all the principal stations which have been selected for
the operations of the Company, extending to Khartoum, the
farthest town of importance in the interior of Africa within
the limits of Egyptian territory, and to Taka on the frontiers
of Abyssinia.
By these means the difficulty of communication, hitherto
existing, will be removed, a- d means of transport greatly
facilitated. It will be an object of this Company to encou-
l'age all enterprises which will tend to provide means of
tapid transport, whether by steamers, railways, canals, or
b the organisation of caravans. It will also be an object of
the Company to encourage, by the advance of money to cul-
tivators, importation of seed, establishment of cotton gins,
ke., the cultivation of cotton in Upper Egypt, where there
exist immense tracts of land capable of producing, it to al-
Most any extent. The population in those districts is nume-
rous and industrious.
It is a well-ascertained fact that, in Upper Egypt and the
Soudan, cultivators and traders can afford to borrow money
at 4 mid 5 per cent. per month, and still amass considerable
wealth.
'the Company intend to establish agencies on both coasts
of the Red Sea. On the Arabian coast Dgeddah has been
selected as a principal place of commerce. On the coast of
Abyssinia agencies will also be established at Kossier, Sa-
wakim, and Massawah.
The trading, operations of the Company will extend from
Cairo up the Nile, as far as pessib'e into the interior of Africa,
following the courses of the White and Blue Nile, whilst
communication will be carried on between the interior and
the Red Sea, and its east and west coasts.
It is intended to commence operations below Stout, ex-
tending gradually upwards, employing the capital, in the
first instance, by making advances to cultivators in Upper
Egypt, operations with which the Alexandrian Directors are
well acquainted, and which, being highly lucrative, at once
insure a large interest on the capital employed.
The capital of the Company will be gradually called up as
its operations are extended.
Mr. Sakakini, who has for many years carried on, and is
thoroughly acquainted with, the trade of Upper Egypt and
its adjoining countries, has consented to act temporarily as
Manager, in order to give the Company the advantage of his
experience in the organisation of a sufficient and competent
staff.
The Articles of Association will provide for a defined and
limited participation by the Directors in the profits, after
payment of interest, on the capital called up, and the houses
who have founded the Company will be entitled to the privi-
lege of taking one-third of any lurther issue of Shares, sub-
Jed to which all new Shares will be distributed pro rata
amongst the existing Shareholders.
Applications for Shares must be made to the International
Financial Society (Limited), at their Offices, 51, Old Broad-
street, E.C.
No application will be received after Saturday, 20th June,
at 12 noon.
