PROSPECTUS. C
_ The sound principles upon which the system of Joint-Stock I
Banking is based, and the benefits which its practical appli- e
. : I cation have conferred upon the public, are now universally n
admitted. Banking Companies, with large subscribed an I I
Daid-capitals, and protected by the responsibility of nume- C
rout; parters, have been long in profitable operation in every 1
• i Part of the kingdom. In the City of London there are six F
' I Joint Stock Banks ; and so great is the confidence of the v
DU lie in the soundness of those establishments that their q
Deposits amount to more than Thirty Millions sterling. The a
: I market value of their Shares ranges from f)5 to upwards of it
100 per cent, premium upon the amount paid; and is founded
Pon the large dividends they have declared, which, at pre-
lent (in addition to very ample reserve funds), average up-
wards of 15 per cent. per annum, inclusive of bonuses.
It is a remarkable fact that, with the experience of the
, solidity and usefulness of these institutions, no Independent I
~ Joint-Stock Bank exists in the Western part of the Metropo- F
, . US, notwithstanding the increased demand for banking ac- I
commodation and the rapid growth of the population. The f
/I Branches of the City Banks are, no doubt, important auxili- C
aries ; but, being controlled by instructions from the parent d
1 office, their Managers necessarily exercise a limited discrection. o
The " Western Bank of London" will afford to the West of o
, the Metropolis all the benefits which are derived by parties 'I
Who transact their banking business directly with an indepen- )
dent institution. It will have at the West-end its Board of Di- '
rectors, its discount and other Committees, who will adapt
their system of management- to the wants of the various
classes of its customers. It will open current accounts ; re-
ceive deposits at agreed-upon rates of interest ; discount
°ills ; make advances upon approved securities; undertake
at moderate charges the agency of persons resident abroad ; v
- receive dividends upon stocks, public or private ; collect and
transmit pays, pensions, and annuities ; and generally carry
on all the legitimate operations of banking. I
The financial position of Joint Stock Backs (unlike hat of '
Private partnerships) i published at the yearly and half- t
pearly meetings of their Proprietors, when a balance-sheet,
verified by two auditors appointed by that body, is submitted '
to the scrutiny, not only of the Proprietors, but of the pu,die. :
The Shares in the London Joint Stock Banks (including
those recently incorporated) are almost the only deseriptiA
of security which has undergone no depreciation duri:d: the
war ; they have, on the contrary, steadily advauce;:t in value.
The subjoined table, extracted from puh',.te documents,
furnishes unequivocal evidence of the advrAltag es which ori-
ginal Proprietors may secure by the investment of capital in
Joint Stock Banks.
