I^OpiCITORa: : ;;' ' [~ Messrs Whit.ikor nn<l Russell. SECRETARY (pro item.) : A. Wardrop, Esq., Shbrtland street. The rapidly-increasing importance of the mercantile Interests in tho group of islands comprised in the Kinp<lnm of Fiji, and the absence of any reliable medium of exchange in that territory, have suggested the formation of. this.Cp.inpn.ny. which, it is intericled, shall' supply •oTdina,J7' Banking facilities' 'and under take commercial apehcy business; by indentins; goods, advancing on the produce of settlers, and undertaking consignments. Notwithstanding tho difficulties which the early settlors in these Islands have encountered, the pro press made in the development of Commerce has been very satlsfacfcory.—the returns <>f; oxpWts" and imports exhibiting rapid expansion. The! capabilities of tho Islands for sugar tad cotton cultivation are of the very Highest description, and, with the 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 Increasedj Already, tracts of country .'have been secured by planters from other sugar-producing countries, the climate and soil of Fiji offering superior advantages. The European population is already considerable, andrapidly, increasing ; and thp, general 'desiret to s'i^piSrt law and order, nncl the'partial recognition of thn GovnrnmeHt'by Gre.-vt Britain, afford a reasonable ground fr>r believing til at 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, aro under offivr to the Company anrl. from data furnished to the promoters, it is believed that a very satisfactory return on tho capital to bo invested will be ensured. The scopo of tho Company's operations will not be confined to Fiji, but will embrace the numerous groups of Islands in tho Pacific, as encouragement may from time to timo offer. It is believer! that a paid-up Capital of £50.000 will, for a time, amply provide for tho currant requirements of the Company, the un-pwl Capital remaining as a basis for credit .with its Agentg. A. further issue of shares will bo made as required, on terms to be settled by the Hoard of Directors. Of the .£2 10s to bo called irp on tho First Issue of shares, a deposit of 10a per share, will be required on application ami a liko amount on allotment. Sub sequent calls will bo mado 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 tho preliminary expenses aro 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 allotmont being made tho deposit will be returned in full Auckland, 4th July, 1873. .;- . ..; FORM OF APPLICATION FOE SHARES.
