SECRETARY (pk'o tern.) : ; A. Wardrop, Esq., Shortland street. ' The rapidly-increasing importance of the mercantile Interests In the group of islands comprised in the Kingdom of Fiji, and the absence of any reliablo 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 th'c'so Islands have encountered, the pro gress mado In tbe development of Commerce has been very satisfactory,— the returns of exports and imports exhibiting rapid expansion. The capabilities of tho Islands for su?ar and cotton cultivation are,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 have been secured by planters from other sugar-producing countries, the climate and soil of Fiji offering superior advantages. Tho European population is already considerable, and rapidly increasing;. and the general' desire to support law and order, snd tho partial recognition of tho 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 all Government business, are under offer to the Company- 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 Csmpany's operations will not be confined to Fiji, but will embrace the numerous groups of 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 as required, on terms to be settled by the Board of Directors. Of the £2 10s to be called up on the First Issue of shares, a deposit of 10s par share will be required on application and a like amount on allotment. Sub sequent calls will be made as required, not exceeding £1 per share, 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 shares-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. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
