Tis proposed to establisk in Shanghai
a Limited Banking Company, with the abovo title, in the belief that there is not only room, but actual necessity, for the ad- ditional facilities which sucb äħi inativation will afford to the large local, coasting, and foreign trade which centres in this port.
The great extension of stemrcomun cation both by sen and river, and the area tion of telegraphic connections, since the existing Local Bank was founded, bave greatly added to the importance of Shang Bai, until it has become the great depôt or distributing point for the trade of North. ern and Central China; but, while it neouis desirable that Shanghai should be the head-quarter of the new Bank, and its direotion on the spot whore the principal interests are involved, a local Committee will be formed in Hongkong for the pro- motion of the undertaking there!
The saccess of other public companies in Shanghai and Hongkong, and the evidence. of a large sum of money seeking invest- ment. in China. encourage the belief that the proposed Capital for thie Bank will be readily subscribed; many infoential native merchants have already couse forward as astive promoters and supporters of the undertaking, and the Committee look fora. very valuable constituency from Chinese
Bources,
The legal conslitation of the Bank is engaging the consideration of the Com- mittee, and reference has been made to. London and elsewhere for the beat legal advice upon the subject; und it is ander. stord that no Shares will be alloted, nor will operatione be commenced until the mo cessary arrangements havebeen completed, when further information will be laid be fore intending Shareholders. In the mean- time, applleations for shares are invited, until the 15th April, 1879, tut must be on the prescribed forme, which can be obtain- ed from the Secretory*
