Secretary, pro tem. : George Jameson. It is proposed to form the above Com pany for the purpose of providing suffi cient yard accommodation for the Sale of Sheep, Cattle, and other Stock, the pre sent yards being quite insufficient for the constantly increasing requirements of the trade. The Company therefore purpose to take over the present County Sale yards and enlarge them, or to erect new ones. It is further intended to erect suitable yards on the South side of the Ashburton. From the great increase in the stock brought forward, since the erection of the County Saleyards, and from the fact of the Christchurch Saleyards Company _ now paying equal to 18 per cent., the Provi sional Directors confidently anticipate that the above will shortly prove a most - remunerative undertaking, and the pro moters desire to enlist the sympathy and , co-operation of as many persons interested 1 in stock in the district as possible. Applications for Shares will be received up to 15th August ; 5s will be payable on 1 application, 5s on allotment, 10s per J Share three months after allotment, and, i. if found necessary, calls of 10s per share will be made at intervals of not less than three months.

The objects of the proposed Company are to encourage the production of Euro pean Flax or (Linum usitntissmum), and to undertake the preparation of the Fibre for Twine or other purposes, also to, manufacture Linseed Oil and Cake from the seed, and otherwise to utilise the material. The Company would promote the culti vation of the plant as being a valuable auxiliary in the general farm rotation, and be prepared to purchase the crops ..either scutched or in the straw. The seed could be dealt with in the crushing mill, and the Oil and Cake would form useful commodities of every day consump tion. It is proposed to erect Scutching Mills in the districts where the crops are grown, and a Factory in a central posi -1 tion, convenient to Ae line of railway, where all other processes of manufacture will be undertaken. The great consump tion of Binding Twine and String for packing and ordinary purposes, give pro mise of a demand for all the Fibre that can be produced for some time to come and its adaptability for the manufacture of paper gives additional value to the ma terial. The Promoters believe that farmers will io well by planting moderate areas, in well-worked and suitable soils, and that the produce will amply repay them for their outlay and trouble. The anticipated impetus to the meat trade by the adop tion of the freezing process, gives great hope that Oilcake will be largely used, and that its manufacture will be an impor tant feature in the enterprise. '■ After careful calculations as to the ctftft of plant and working expenses, the pro moters are assured that there will remain a handsome margin for profit, and that the industry will ultimately develop into one of the most important in the colony. : It is estimated that £4,000 will bo suf ficient to acquire land, erect the necessary i buildings, provide all requisite machinery, and meet the preliminary expenses. The Promoters have in contemplation i the employment of an expert in Flax growing and manipulatiop, whose services i. would bo available to farmers requiring I instruction in the details. After a reasonable number of the shares , have been.applied for, the promoteis in i tend to take immediate steps to secure r and erect the necessary machinery. i Forms of "Application can be obtained i from the Secretary, Hereford street, 1 Chri r t ' , 'urch ; at the Bank of Australasia, Christchurch, and its Agencies throughout i Canterbury; from Messrs Vaughan and r Cordner, Sefton ; and Messrs Webb, t Staveley and Co., Sodthbridge and Lees r ton.

As the future prosperity of these sunny isles depends in a great measure on the support which is given to colonial manu factures, A. Craighead & Co., MERCHANT TAILORS, Tanored street, Have determined to encourage the manufacture of Colonial Tweeds as much as the requirements of their business will permit. By following this course they will be enabled not only to foster the growth and development of the internal resources of New Zealand, but will also be enabled to offer to their friends, patrons, and the general public a very STJPERIOK ARTICLE AT A MODERATE PRICE. To carry this idea to a practical issue they have just been favored wich a large consignment of the t CELEBRATED KAIAPOI TWEEDS, Manufactured to their special order for the coming season. As these Tweeds are equal, and in some respects superior, to - anything of the same class that can bo imported, they feel confident that, by strict attention to business, and by the exercise of th.eir usual care in cutting and fitting, they will continue to give that satisfaction which their rapidly incxeasing business warrants them in believing they have given in the past.
