This Company is established to supply merchants and the
trading community with facilities not yet afforded by Bankers
or any existing Association, to make advances on produce and
mer handise, and to receive upon the credit of a large sub-
scribed Capital, money on Deposit at a fixed rate of interest,
and to lend the same, together wills the paid Capital, ou con-
vertible mercantile securities.
Although Bills of Exchange are readily negotiated with-
out the d posit of any collateral security, there does not exist
any adequate means of obtaining advances on merchandise or
produce.
This Company proposes to supply this want by making
advances upon the security of Merchandise, Bills of Lading,
or Warrants representing Merchandise lying in the Docks,
Wharves, or Bonded Warehouses, or other marketable
securities.
It is well known that consignments of Merchandise of great
extent and value are made annually to London from all parts
of the world, as well as from the Manufacturing Districts
throughout England ; and it is expected that Merchants and
Blanufacturors will readi y avail themselves of the facilities,
now for the first time offered by any Public Company, for ob-
taining immediate advances on their property.
The aggregate amount of Trade of the United Kingdom in
exports and imports, in 1860, exceeded £350,000,000 sterling,
and during the last 25 years the exports alone have increased
400 per cent.
The Company will afford every facility for sampling and
inspection of Goods, to effect sales, to redeem any portion or
the whole at any moment.
H is well known that the large y.ea.rlyincreaaing dividends
of the Banking Institutions are mainly produced by their
advances on mercantile securities.
