PROSPECTUS.
This Company is formed at the express solicitation of
inerchants and others engaged in trading and monetary
perations in the Ottoman Empire, for the purpose of ex-
"( Bog to the mercantile community of Turkey that legi-
timate aid, which, in more favoured c,euntr:es, is i'endered
to Commerce by well-conducted banking institutions..
The enormous development of the Trade of Turkey
Within the last few years has not been met by any con-
tinuous increase of banking facilities ; and when it is con-
sidered that tho total imports and exports have risen from
.£20,000,000 in 1852 to upwards of £80,000,000 in the year
1864, some idea may be formed of the vast and profitable
field which is open to a bank conducted upon English
principles, and managed by gentlemen possessing a local
and practical knowledge of the country.
In the year 1851 the total number of vessels that entered
and cleared at the port of Constantinople was only 13,069,
tonnage 2,397,316 ; while in the year 1864 the numberrose
0.48,939, tonnage 7,433,063. At the port of Smyrna the
total imports and exports in the year 1854 amounted only
to, £2,464,525 ; while in 1684 they increased to £8,563,502.
In these great centres of Turkish commerce there is but
°De joint-stock bank in existence.
The Ottoman Bank (La Banque Impdriale Ottomane) is
the only bank in Turkey, and the profitable nature of its
°Perations is evidenced from the pnce of its shares, which,
with £lO paid, are quoted at £l6, while the last dividend
amounted to 15 per cent, per annum.
The operations of the Bank of Turkey will be strictly
confined to banking business, to the exclusion of anything
cohnected with the business of a merchant. It will assist
tommerce, while at the same time it will avoid, on its own
part, all interference with or competition in trade. This
eature in a bank for Turkey is of peculiar value, and will
lleoure at once for the Company a clientelle of the most
unexceptionable and profitable character.
The Bank will afford facilities to merchants in this country
"4.00 the Continent, for the negotiation of their drafts on
ieBPcmdents in Turkey.
fo„ PPlication for Shares may be addressed in the annexed
flied at the Offices of the Ottoman Company, 20,
Threadneedle-street, or at the Offices of the Bankers,
elk"; and Solicitors; but no application will be consi-f
51 red unless a deposit of £1 per share on the number o
Cs applied for has been paid.
