Tin proposed to establish in Shanghai a Limited Banking Company, with the above tille, in the belief that there is not only room, bat sotul necessity, for the ad- ditional facilities which ach an institusion will afford to the large local, coasting, and foreign trade which centres in this purt
The grant extension of steam Dotazn carion both by sea and river, and the prea tion of telegraphic connections, since the existing Local Batik was founded, bava greatly added to the importance of Shing But, until it has become the great depôt or distributing point for the trade of North ern and Central China; but, while it seems desirable that Shanghai should be the bead-quarters of the new Bank, and its direction on the spot where the principal interests are involved, a local Cóuenit too will be formed in Hongkong for the pro- motion of the undertaking there.
The success of other pablis componics in- Shanghai and Hongkong, and the evidence. of a large sum of money seeking ievoshi ment in China, entourage the belief that the proposed Capital for this: Bank will be readily abscribed; many induential cativa. merchants bave already come forward as: native promoters and supporters of the undertaking, and the Committee look for s very valuable constituency from Chinese
courage.
The legal constitution of the Bunk is cogaging the consideration of the Com- mmittee, and reference has been made to Loudon and elsewhere for the best legal advice upon the subject; and it is under stood that no Shares will be alloted, nor will operations be emended until the ne cessary Arrangements have boom vompleted, when further informnution will be laid be fore intending Shareholders. In she mean time, applications for shares are invited; watil the 15th April, 1879, hat most, he on the prescribed forms, which can be obtain- ed from the Necretary,
