If, then, such a company as the Eastern Trading Company were in existence, prepared to grant advances on undoubted security, and having no alter rgo respecting the funds contributed by the shareholders, there would be immense pos. sibilities for its future and for the future of commerce in the Far East. A curious re. mark in the prospectus is to the effect that "the present stringency in the real property market is due almost entirely to the stringency of money," but the promoters of the Eastern Trading Co. have few fears in that connection when they hope to discover a liquid two million dollars with which to come into be system that is more refreshing thinning.

One of the principal features of the company's busmess when it is started will be money-leading, and here we come to solid ground: Net "loans," but "money lending" is the word used in the prospectus. It is a fact that the chetties of the Straits are, unconscienscable usurers, and if the Eastern Trading Company succeeds.
