Ground loor of the Hongkong Htol, particularly adapted either for a store or for offices.
The success of other poblio companies in Shangbai and Honghong, and the evidence of a large sum of money seeking invest ment in China, encourage the belief that the proposed Capital for this Bank will be. readily subsoribêd; many influential nytive merchants bave already come forward as aotive promoters and supporters of the andertaking, and the Committee look for pe very valuable constituency from Chine
sources.
The legal constitution of the Bank is engaging the consideration of the Col mitteo, and reference bas basn rúade to London and elsawbers for the best legai advice upon the subject; and it is nader- stood that no Sbares will be allobed, nor will operationa be corimenced until the ne- cessary RITangowenta have been completed, when further information will be laid be fore intending Shareholders. In the mean- time, applications for shares are invited, until the Lith April, 1879, but must be un the prescribed fortas, which can be obtain- ed from the Secretary.
