The goodwill of the business of Messrs. Lane, Hankey,
and Co. has been purchased for £25,000, in debentures, pay-
able one-fifth annually, with 5 per cent. interest, and 2,500
Shares, with £l5 each credited as paid thereon. In fixing
this amount, the Directors have taken into consideration
the profits of the firm during the last six years, the present
prospects of the business, and the manner in which pay-
ment for the goodwill has been accepted. The venders also
guarantee by their personal covenant a minimum Dividend
of 10 per cent. per annum during three years on the paid-
up capital, thereby giving a substantial proof of their con-
fidence in the undertaking. This Dividend the Directors,
pending the full development of the Company's operations,
propose to pay to the Proprietors half-yearly, the first pay-
ment to be made on the 15th April, 1866. They may add
that they are most sanguine that this minimum guaranteed
Dividend of 10 per cent, will be largely exceeded before
the expiration of the three years.
The Directors refer with satisfaction to the following
letter from the eminent accountants, Messrs. Coleman,
Turquand, Youngs, and Co., in corroboration of the value
of the business of Messrs. Lane, Hankey, and Co.:-

To the Directors of the Merchants' Company (Limited).
Gentlemen,—We beg to state that in compliance with
the request of Messrs. Lane, Hankey, and Co., we have
carefully examined their books with the view of ascer-
taining what commissions they have made during the last
:six years, from Ist January, 1859, to Ist January, 1865,
and find that the gross commissions during that
period amount to £140,765 17s. 9d., being an average of
£23,460 19s. 7d. per annum ; and after deducting there-
from " return" commissions, and commissions on goods
bought and sold by the firm, either on their own account,
or for the execution of orders on hand, the net commis-
sions earned amount to £106,900 17s. 4d., or an average of
£17,816 16s. 2d. per annum. This is irrespective of the
result of the firm's transactions on their own occount, and
of the insurance business.
We are, Gentlemen, your obedient servants,
(Signed)
COLE AN, TUEQUAND, YOUNGS, and Co.
