Financier's Warning to Parliament.

no'

Mr. O. Buch Crisp, presiding; at the meeting of the British Bink for Foreign Trade in London, re- ferring to the proposed British State Bank for Trade, said the bank should not be given Laidies or privileges denied to others, nor abould it receive the promits of exclusive Forsiga: Office support for its oversea dealings. Il Parliament should decide to vote subsidies or coun- tenuzoo the granting of new privileges, such action would certainly be to the detriment of British trade, for free competition, which was the lifeblood of sound business, would be eliminated. A resolution was adopted” redno ing the capital of the company from £1,500,000, divided into ~300,000 shares of £5 each to £1,050,000 divided into 300,000 shares of £3 101 each.
