THE LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER HIDE,TAN-
NING, AND LEATHER COMPANY.
CAPITAL £300,000. IN 60,000 SHARES OF £5 EACH.
V HIS Company will secure to LivEneoor, a proper in-
jL fluence in the Leather Trade, an influence not hitherto
possessed by this POIIT, and place the Market here in a fair
competition with the far celebrated Su ISTOL FAIR.
'l'o Importers, Butchers, Curriers, and Cordwainers it will
form a grand source of mutual advantage, by sharing in the
profits of each others transactions, without infringement on any.
To Carriers it will afford an increased profit on transit, it will
advance the 'nosiness and revenues of the poft, give to the Ca-
pitalist a good interest, and produce to the Public a better article.
It is a well known fact that the slow process of Tanning ren-
ders the business a heavy matter for the private Capitalist, and
that in consequence various methods have been adopted to force
the process forward'and hasten the return; the effect has been
the production of Leather predisposed to crack.—See Sir Hum-
phrey Davy.
The Capital is proposed to be raised in 60,000 Shares of £5
each, to be called for in small sums, viz.: one shilling per share
to be paid for the scrip, on allotment ; one pound per share to
be paid within- 21 days after the Meeting- for the Election of
Directors; awl a further call of ten shillings per share on each
of the days following, viz., the first Tuesday in July, the first
Tuesday in September, and first Tuesday in November next,
of which call fourteen days' notice at the least shall be given by
the Directors, and that no further call shall be made until after a
Report shall have been approved at a General, Annual Meeting.
That the first allotment shall not exceed 25,000 Shares, in-
cluding 5000 for South America, and that no application for
English shares shall be received after the fifth day of May next;
the allotment to take place on the 9th, and the Meeting. for the
choice of Directors on the 17th of the same month, at Twelve
o'clock, at the Clarendon-rooms, Liverpool.
Holders of five shares to have one vote; ten shares two votes;
twenty shares five votes; thirty shares seven votes; and one

FORM OF APPLICATION.

To the Provisional Committee of the Liverpool and Manchester
Hide, Talining; and Leather Company:
Gentlemen,-1 request yon will allot me Shares in
this Company, subject to.the Prospectus of the 18th April, 18:34j.
Name.

Residence.
'Profession.

To the Subscribers to the Liverpool and Manchester Hide Tanning
and Leather Company, whether Foreign Merchants or Import-
ers, Tanners, Carriers, Cordwainers, Merchants Trading, or
Shippers to South America, and lastly to the Public Capitalist.
As the day of allotment is close at hand, and as so many pro-
posed Companies are in the market, it is becoming in the pro-
jectors to make the public fully acquainted with the profitable
use intended to be made of such public monies as are about to
be diverted into the new channels, and how far the public at
large may be benefitted.
The projectorsof the above intended Company will be happy
to receive communications, and to answer any inquiries, from
any gentlemen engaged in the South American trade, whether
Subscribers or not, at the Office, No. 23, Clarendon-buildings,
Liverpool, on WEDNESDAY next, at Eleven o'clock, or at the
Bush Inn Manchester, on the same day, at Six o'clock in the
Evening, and to enter into"the fullest details of this intended
C eat Trading Company.
It has been asked by the Manche.te' Guardian how this
scheme can hope for success when a sin i ar one was attempted,
at Manchester, by the Butchers, and failed. Answer—There is
one in Birmingham which has been in operatiOn four years;
that company have divided 71 per cent. annually, and have in
that time realized a reserved fund equal to two-fifths of the sub-
scribed capital, and ii not managed by the Butchers. Now, for
instance, if it be found possible to interest such a body in pur-
chasing their hides in Liverpool instead of London, and to as-
sist their sales of leather in Liverpool or Manchester. there is a
small part, but nevertheless a part, of the system s mplv de-
veloped, and the projectors will have performed good citizen-
ship to the capitalist and a whole string of merchants, shippers,
brokers, &c., &c., &c., independent of the increased revenues of
the, port.
N.B.—lt will be necessary to have Directors in Liverpool,
,Manehester, and Leeds.
