JAMES GILFILLAN,, Esq.,
is proposed to establish in Shanghai a Limited Banking Company, with the above tille, in the belief that there is not only room, but actual necessity, for the nd- ditional facilities which such an institution will afford to the large local, corating, and foreign trade which centres in this part..
The great extension of stear communi- cation both by sea and river, and the crea tion of telegraphic connections, since the existing Local Bank was Founded, have greatly added to the importance of Shang- bai, until i bas become the great depôt or distributing point for the trade, of North- ern and Central Ohias; but, while it seeme dearable that Shanghai should be the Lead-quarters of the new Bank, and its direction on the spot where the principal intereste are involved, & local Conflictes. will be formed, in Hongkong for the pro- motion of the undertaking there.
-
The exscess of other public companies in Shanghai and Hongkong, and the evidence of a large sum of money nesting invent ment in China, encourage the belief that the proposed Capital for this Bank will be readily subtoribed; many influential native merchants have already come forward aa active, promoters and supporters of Ebe. undertaking, and the Committee look Far a very valuabio constituency from Chinese
BORICUS.
The legal coniltution of the Bank in cngaging the consideration of the Com- mittee, and yelarence, has been made to London and elsewhere for the best legat advice upon the subject; and is under stood that no Sbarea will be alloted, nor will operations ba`ɑommenced until the ne cessary arrangements have been completed, when farther inforamtion "will be laid be fore intending Shareholderu. In the mean- time, applications for shares are invited, until the 15th April, 1879, but must be on the firescribed forms, which can be obtain- ed from the ecretary..
