Tho rapidly-increasing importance of the mercantile interests in the group of islands comprised in the Kingdom of Fiji, and tho absence of any reliable medium of exchange in that territory, have suggested the formation of this Company. which, it is intended, shall supply ordinary Banking facilities and under take commercial agency business, by indenting 'goods, advancing on the produce of settlers, and undertaking consignments. Notwithstanding the difficulties which the early settlers in these Islands have encountered, the pro gress made In the development of Commerce has been very satisfactory,—the returns of exports and imports exhibiting rapid expansion. Tho capabilities of tho Islands for' Sugar and cotton cultivation ar6 of the very highest description, and, with tho introduction of capital and the means afforded to planters to turn their produce to account, there, can be no doubt that the above interests will be very speedily and largely increased. Already tracts of country 'nave been secured .by planters from other sugar-producing countries, the climate and soil of Fiji offering superior advantages. . " . The European population is already wmsiderablei and rapidly increasing;. and the general desire to support law and order, and tho partial recognition of the Government by Great Britain, afford a reasonable ground for believing that transactions in Fiji may be undertaken with safety, and with the same recourse as in more settled communities. . . Important concessions, including an exclusive right to issue bank notes and to transact aU Government business, are under offer to the Company and, from data furnished to the promoters, it is believed that a very satisfactory return on the capital to be invested will be ensured. ' Tho scope of the Cempany's operations will not be confined to Fiji, but will embrace the numerous groups iof Islands in the Pacific, as encouragement may from time to-time offer. It is believed that a paid-up Capital of £50,000 will, for a time; amply provide forthe current requirements of the Company,' the un-paid Capital remaining as a basis for credit with its Agents. A further issue of shares will be. made asrequired, on terms to be settled by the Board of Directors. ' . Of the J62 10s to bewailed up on tho First Issue of sbares, a deposit of 10s per share wiU, be required.' on application, apd a like amount on allotment. ; Sub sequent calls will be made as required, not exceeding £1 per sihare, with a notice of not less than one month. No promoters' or paid-up shares will be issued,, and the preliminary expenses are guaranteed not to exceed £1,000., Applications for shares—accompanied by a deposit of 10s per Share—will be received by the Secretary on and after Ist August and up to Ist Septemper next, a preference being given to priority of application. In event of no allotment being made the deposit will be returned in full. ' . Auckland, 4th July, 1873.: ~, EORM OF;APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To the PROviSi6i>rAL Secretary, "Fiji.
