Although few countries present a more eligible field for
the establishment of a sound system of joint-stock banking
than Portugal, it has hitherto been nearly destitute of this
advantage. The increase in the trade of the country, and
its furthbr development by the opening of its railways
renders the introduction of such a system a matter of the
utmost importance to Portugal, while it will afford a legi-
timate source of profit on the capital invested for that
purpose.
The operations of the Bank of Portugal (the only one in
Lisbon) are of a very restricted nature, affording nons of
the advantages belonging to the English Joint-Stock
Banking system, notwithstanding which its shares com-
mand a premium of £ll 108. per share.
In Oporto three local banks have been established within
the last few years, and are all in a prosperous condition,
their shares commanding the following premiums :-
1. The Commercial Bank, capital £444,444 (all paid up),
amount of share £44, present price £l3 premium.
2. The Oporto Mercantile Bank, capital £333,333 (all
paid up), amount of share £44, preseut price £l3 premium.
3. The Union of Oporto Bank (very recently established),
capital £444,444, amount of share £22, paid up £lB 95.,
present price Si premium.
In addition to an extensive and profitable business be-
tween Portugal and the United Kingdom, in Lisbon, and
the provinces, large transactions constantly take place in
the negotiation of paper from the Brazils, in which country
it may be found desirable to establish branches.
The preliminary expenses will be strictly confined to the
actual disbursements attending the formation of a com-
pany.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be
obtained froze the brokers, or the Secretary, at the tempor-
ary offices of the Company.
