PROSPECTUS.
This Company is formed at the express solicitation of
nierchants and others engaged in trading and monetary
°Aerations in the Ottoman Empire, for the purpose of ex-
"'riding to themercantile community of Turkey that legi-
tiniate which,m in more favoured countries, is tendered
commerce by well-conducted banking institutions.
,21:10 m
enormous development of the Trade of Turkey
71Lbin the last few years has not been met by any con-
‘
4.14110 us increase of banking facilities ; and when it is con-
tidered that the total imports and exports have risen from
£2OOOOOOO 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
udPciples, and managed by gentlemen possessing a local
Practical knowledge of the country.
the year 1851 the total number of vessels that entered RIM cleared at the port of Constantinople was only 13,069,
tonnage 2,397,316 ; while in the year 1864 the number rose
to 48,939, tonnage 7,433,063. At the port of Smyrna the
total imports an d exports in theear 1854 amounted onl
to £2,464,525 ; while in 1684 they increased to £8,563 502 In these great centres of Turkish commerce there is but
one joint-stock bank in existence.
The Ottoman Bank (La Banque Imp6riale Ottomane) is
the only bank in Turkey, and the profitable nature of its
operations is evidenced from the price 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
connected with the business of a merchant. It will assist
wrimerce, while at the same time it will avoid, on its own
Prt, all interference with or competition in trade. This
feast,
in a bank for Turkey is of peculiar value, and will
_6oeure at once for the Company a clientele of the most
unoXceptionable and profitable character. The Bank will afford facilities to merchants in this country
and on the Continent, for the negotiation of their (hafts on
correspondents in Turkey.
Application for Shares may be ofdadressed in the annexed
form to the Directors, and copies the prospectus may be
obtained at the Offices of the Ottoman Company, 20,
Threadneedle-street, or at the Offices of the Bankers,
