H. A. Withers had a penchant for „large accounts“. Financing. Upwards of £300,000 advanced and locked up in ships of about 40,000 tons, now trading to various parts of the world; large sums said to have been advanced upon cotton bills. The acceptances of this Bank, 12 months ago, reached 2 Millions. One of the shareholders on meeting of Oct. 23 said: „Taking in consideration the interest he had been getting for many years in connection mit der Bank, he could afford to lose the capital invested in it. People looked upon property of this sort as though it was as secure, so far as income goes, as if it were land; but it was not so.“ etc. It is the immense greedy of the shareholders which directors und shareholders pander to. Speculative und gambling business daher, besonders by Liverpool Banks.
