TT is proposed to establish in Shanghai
a Trimited Basting Company, with the above tille, in the belief that there is not only room, but actual necessity, for the ad ditional facilities which such an insolution will afford to the large local, coasting, and foreign trade which centres in this port
The great extension of steam dominani- cation, both by Bed and river, and the crea tion of telegraphio connections, since the existing Local Bank was founded, bars greatly added to the importance of Shang. ba, until it has become the great depat or distributing point for the tride of North- ern and Central China bat, while it seems, dearable that Shanghai should be the bead-quarters of the new Benk, and its direction on the spot where the principal interests are involved, a local Committee will be, formed in Hongkong for the pro motion of the undertaking there.
The success of other publio companies in Shanghai and Hongkong, and the evidence of a large sum of money seeking invest arent in Quina, encourage the belief that the proposed Capital for this Bank will be readily anheoribed; many influential native- merahants ave already come forward av activa promoters and supporters of tho undertaking, and the Committee Inok for very valuable constituency from Chineno
HOUTcER.
The legal constitution of the Bank is engaging the consideration of the Com-- mittec, and reference has been made to London, and elsewhere for the best legal advice upon the aubject; and it ia under- 'atoed that no Shares will be aBoted, nor will operations be contenced until the ne Gary AYYANgements have been completed, when further information will, be laid be fore intending Shareholders. In the mean. time, applications for shares are invited, until the 16th April, 1972, but must be on the prescribed forms, which can be obtain. ed from the Secretary.
