The obj •of of this Co"spany is to work, in t e United King-
dom, the patent granted to Mr A. D vAux, in 856, for im-
provem nts in the construction and fitting of g ana. les, the
exclusive right to which ha - t een privisionally acquired by
the Company, and to cri ant licenses f r the sam
e.
he p incipal advantages f the patents are as follow:-
Ist. Economy in the first outlay, the patent vent lati g
granary costing less than an ordinary granary of the same
Ca ab lity.
2d. The • atent "entilating granary will hold at least 50
per cent. more gain than any ordinary granary cecupying a
similar area o' ground, th, grain being stored 40 f et de, pin
mated silos or bins, as in the model granary, built on this
system in the West India Doe' a.
3d. Considerable economy on the cost of the manual labour
at present incnrred in housing and delivering. grain—such
manual labour formin = one of the principal items of expense
in working ordinary granaries is in the patent ventilating
granary superseded by machinery.
4th. In the patent ventilating granary the grain is kept
cool and in first rate condition, at a nominal cost, the very
expensive process of turning being saved.
sth. By the process of ventilation grain is freed from
• Weevils.
6th. In the 'patent ventilating granary the grain is pro-
tected from rats, mice, and all vermin.
7th. The aerated silos or bins, containing the grain, being
built entirely of iron, the expense of insurance is greatly
diminished, or totally saved.
Bth. Great rapidity in housing, and delivering grain, at all
times a convenience to the trade, and frequently of much
importance.
It must be obvious that, with the many adva'ilagrs offered
by t 1 is patent ventilating gr ‘nary, so true in its principle,
and simple in its working, this undertaking cannot fail to
prove, not only a perfectly safe, but a very profitable invest-
ment. In tact. the excellence nd advantages of his new
mode of warehousing grain have been 'or sev ral years tho-
roughly tested by the Patentee, who also has erected at the
West India Docks (by the permission of the Director,) a model
granary constructed on this system, the workingof which
has given entire satisfaction, as proved by the written testi-
monials of eminent corn-factors, who have stored wheat
therein ; and anyone inspecting the said granary can at once
satisfy himself of its superiority over ordinary granaries.
The South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian Railway
Company, after a careful investigation of the merits of the
above model granary at the West India Docks, have con-
tracted with the Patentee for the right to build in Austria,
on his system, granaries, to the extent of 700,100 quarters ;
the first of these granaries to hold 100,000 quarters is now
constructing at the railway station at Trieste.
It is evident that if such a safe mode of keel ing grain in
.good condition were to be generally adopted it would prove a
great boon to the community, and be in a commercial point
of view of paramount importance, as a lama field would thus
be opened for investing in grain at low prices.
Years of plenty are generally followed by years of scarcity.
In seasons of abund nee wheat is often used for other pur-
_ _ . .

poses than human food, and sold at a great sacrifice to obilate
the risk of. warehousing in ordinary granaries, where an
enormous quantity of grain is annually spoiled snd destroyed
by vermin end insects. Wheat varies in price, from 40s. to
110 s. per Quarter. Nothing wcoild tend so much to attain
that great desideratum. equalsation of prices, as a safe mode
of eeping train, and that may be obtained by means of this
patent ventilating granary, which, whilst it on the one hand
saves the labouring classes from famine nrices, would on the
other pro' e^t the farmer from ruinously low ones.

When it is on sidered that the importation of grain into
Great Britain and Ireland last year amounted to 16.491,813
quarters. it cannot be doubted that this patent ventilating
granary is c,pable of great development, and possessing as it
does so many advantages over ordinary granaries must in
time supersede them.
The present capital of £lOO,OOO will be amply sufficient to
build and work a patent granary on this system, capable of
containing 150,000 quarters. Reckoning that 350,000 quarters
will enter and leave the granary in one year, and even cal-
culating that on an average one-third of the granary will be
always empty, the net profits are estimated at least 18 per
cent, per annum, taking as a basis the present charges in
London.
The net profits are to be divided as follows :
The Shareholders are first to receive out of the same 6 per
cent, per annum (as interest) on the amount of share capital
paid up. after which the sum remaining is to be apportioned
as under:—
Seven-tenths to the Shareholders.
Three-tenths to the Patentee.
The Patentee will he entitled to subscribe at par three-
tenths of any further capital which may be raised by the
roily any. no other advantage whatever being reserved to
the Patentee, who has borne all preliminary expenses to th's
d,te.
Provision is made for co ntinning the business of the Com-
pany, after the termination of the patents.
No application for shares will be received unless accom-
panied with the banker's receipt for the deposit of £1 per
share.
In the event of the Directors allotting less than the num-
ber of shares applied for, the amount paid Into the bankers
will be appropriated to the further payment of £4 per share
payable on allotment, and in case no allotment be made the
money de t.osited will be returned without deduction.

and Co.. No. 62, Ring William-street, city; and Messrs.
