is proposed to establish in Shanghai a Liito Banking Company, with the above title, in the belief that thero is not only room. hut notund necessity, for the ad- ditional facilities which woch an institution will afford to the large local, coasting, and foreign trade which centres in this port
The great extension of steam communi- cation both by sea and river, and the drea tion of telegraphic connections, cinco tho existing Lol Bank was founded, have greatly added to the importance of bang- bai, atil it has become the great depot or diatributing point for the trade of North ern and Central China; but, while it seams desirable that Shanghai should be the bend-quarters of the new Bauk, nad its direction on the spot where the principol interests are involved, a local Committee will be formed in Hongkong for the pro- motion of the undertaking thero.
The suoccas of other pabite companies in Shanghai and Hongkong, and the evidence of a large sum of money seeking invest- ment in Ohina, encourage the belief that the proposed Capital for this Bunk will be readily an bearibed; many influential native merchants have already come forward' nus - active. procatore and supporters of the undertaking, and the Committee look for a very vinable caustituency from Chinese SOUTOCK,
The legal constitution of the Bank je ongaging the consideration of the Cur mitte, and reference has been made to London and elsewhere for the best legid advice upon the eubject; and it is nader. stood that no Sbares will bo allated, nor will operations be commenced until the ne- cessary arrangements have beca cumplcted, when further information will be laid be fore intending Sharebulders. In the mean- time, applications for shines are invited, until the 15th April, 1972, but must be on the prescribed for, which can be obtain. ed from the Secretary.
