Tho rapidly-increasing! importance of the mercantile interests in the grpup of. islands comprised in tho Kingdom of Fiji, and tho absence of any reliable medium of exchange in that territory, havp suggested the formation: of this Company, which, it is intended, shall supply ordinary Banking facilities and under take commercial agency business, by indenting gooqs, advancing on the" produce of settlers, and undertaking consignments. • a-- , l>'J ■ ■ ~ Notwithstanding the difficulties which the early settlers in .these Islands.have encountered, tho pro gress made in the development of Commerce has bo^n very satisfactory,—the returns of exports and imports exhibiting.rapidiexpansion. Tho capabilities of tne Islands.for sugar and cotton cultivation aro of tne very highest description, and, with the introduction" of capital and the means afforded to planters to tiiin their produce to account, there caii be rib doubt that the above >interests will be! very- speedily and largely increased. Already tracts of country, havo bean secured by planters from other' sugar-producing countries, tho climate and soil of Fiji offering superior advantages..-, Ah' slnhf. n ■' ■ The European population, is already considerable, and rapidly increasing; arid the general desire io support law and order, and the partial recognition of the Government by Great Britain, afford a reasonab' c ground for believing that transactions in Fiji may I c 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 1 that a very- satisfactory return on the capital to be invested will be ensured. | The scope of the Company's operations wiU not bje 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 for the current requirements of the Company, the un-pnid Capital remaining as a basis for credit with its Agents.
