important BANK AMALGA- MATION. LLOYDS AM) THK BRISTOL AND WEST OF KNGLAND 1SA.NK, The demand which set in during the past wsek for Bristol IVet;t (if England Bitiik Slinre, led to much speculation in Ananciul circles. As a new issue ofealJltal was improbable, it was geoeially believed that an amalgamation with auotber bank was contemplated. The secret, however, was well kept, and it was only at inid-duy Oil Friday thnt it became known at Cardiff that Lloyds Bank had agreed to take over the Uristol and West of Ellg. land, all terms which are set forth bulow. In the meantime Uristol and West of Kogland Shares rose from 15A to 19}, but Lloyds were not appreciably nffected, the prica standing at 28 to 28l It appears from a menage which we have received from Birmingham that an arNngement has been made by WhiCt.! Lloyds also Like over the old-established private bank of Wellard Twiney and Co" London. During the last few years Lloyds Banking Company have, by amalgamations extended their business to an enormous extent. The company was restored in 1865. In 1884 it was amalgamllled with Messrs. Harnett", Hoarep, Hanbury, and Lloyd and Messrs. 1Io;aD'1u.t, Salt, und CO" botit of London, under the tuls ot Lloyds, Hornet's, and Hosanquets Bank (Limited), and on April 5, 1889, the Birmingham Joint j Stock Bank (Limited), established iu 1861, and the Worcester City and County Banking Company (Limitcd),e-t.blisl1ed in 1840, were obsorbed, the name being then changed back to Lloyds Bank (Limited). Oiher private bueine^aea have since been a quired, including those of Mes-rs. Praedand C)., of London, and the Brpcon Old B^nk.

It h"s been suggeited—and we thoroughly agrce with the proposition—that the transfer of tho Bristol and West of England Bank Shares ime Lloyds should ba free of fee. The fee is not large for a few shaves, it is true, but when a number of shares have to be transferred it becomes expensive- If this sugg(stion were adopted it would gieatly assist the transfers which Lloyds directors un- doubtedly anticipate. This is a small detail which may be overlooked in the conduct of busi. ngs of such magnitude, but it would, undoubtedly, be appreciated by a large number of shareliolderti- OFFICIAL CIRCULAR TO THE WEST Oh j ENGLAND SHAREHOLDERS. íFRO OUR SPECIAL COlllŒSPONDES"r} BRISTOL, FfiiDAT NKJHT.
