The success of other pablo companies fo Shanghai and Hongkong, and the evidence of a large sum of money seeking inrost- ment in China, moburage the belief that" the proposed Capital for this Bank will be readily subscribed; many influential native merohanta harp already como forward es motive promoters and supporters of the undertaking, and tho Committee look forn. vory valeable constituency from Chinese Bourges.
