THE LIVERPOOL WINE AND FRUIT JOINT
STOCK COMPANY.

CAPITAL £400,000, in 40,000-SHARES, of £lO each.
IHE object of this Company is to concentrate in this Port
the chief products of Spain, Portugal, and the ports of
the Mediterranean. This plan, it will be perceived, embraces
the outline of a very extensive and valuable branch of com-
mercial enterprise, and, if properly managed, is capable of
extending, to an almost incalculable amount, our home con-
sumption of foreign Fruits and Wines, as well as the exporta-
tion of them to our northern andother Colonies. It will scarcely,
be credited, that the Foreign Fruit Trade of this Port is at p •
sent exclusively confined to two or three private establish its,
each of which is carrying on a very lucrative business their
operations, howexer, must necessarily be greatly cra ed under
the present system; and the general advantages r tilting from
a judiciously regulated Joint Stock Company old doubtless
be felt by them, in common with the Retail D ers throughout
the country. To persons at present in the Wine Trade, and
such as may wish to enter into it, this Company will hold out
admirable advantages both for the investment of a capital and
ensuring the importation of Wines of superior quality. Grocers
and all other Dealers in Foreign Fruits will consult their best
interests by establishing & Company of this kind, which will
possess all the advantages of large capital and combined com-
mercial knowledge. The Public generally would participate
in the benefit of such a Company as is here proposed; as the
careful selection of the choicest articles, by responsible Agents
sent out for that purpose to the Peninsula and the Mediterranean
ports, and the constant and regular arrivals, would keep from
our market the inferior commodities that at present so largely
abound, and would fix the price at a moderate, steady, and re-
gular rate. It is also contemplated to extend the business of
this Company to the receiving, through the medium of its
foreign Agents, consignments of British Manufactured Goods.
Exporters of British Manufactures must be well aware of the
risk, frequent impositions, and heavy losses sustained by con-
signing goods to private establishments. The capital and cha-
racter of this Company, it is presumed, would form an ample
guarantee for the strict and honourable fulfilment of all engage-
ments entered into with individuals. The Directors, too, might
be empowered to make liberal advances on goods consigned to
the Agents of the Company.
In the allotment of Shares the Provisional Committee will
pay due regard to the applications of Persons at present in the
Trade, and in all cases will give them a preference. As it is
desirable to extend the business of the Company as widely as
possible throughout the country, a sufficient number of Shares
will be apportioned to Applicants from Manchester, Birming-
ham, Leeds, and all the other principal towns in the kingdom.
The sum of One Shilling per Share to be paid for the
scrip on allotment.
The call to be made, in sums not exceeding £1 per Share, in
the following manner, viz., £1 per Share in ten days after the
election of the Directors; and no further calls to be made
without a previous notice' of twenty-one days being given.
Not less than five Shares to be granted to an individual.
Applications for Shares to he made, by letter, (post paid,)
under cover, addressed to Mr. Wm. FOSTER, Solicitor, Church-
alley; or to Mr. Tiros. COGLAN, Sharebroker, Exchange-
street, East, for the Provisional Committee.
