Wardrop, Esq.,* Shortland street. The rajJidly-iricreasing importance of the mercantile interests in tho group of islands comprised in tho Kingdom.of Fiji, | and the absence of, any reliablec medium of exchange in that territory, havo suggested the formation of this Company, which, it is intended, ishall supply ordinary Banking facilities and under take commercial agency business,,by indenting goods, .advancing on the produce of settlors, and undertaking 'consignments. , Notwithstanding the difficulties which the early I settlers in these Islands have encountered, the pro gress made in the development of Commerco has been! very satisfactory,—tlie returns of exports and imports exhibiting rapid expansion. The capabilities of tho. Islands for sugar and cotton cultivation are of the very highest description, and, with the introduction • of capital and-the means afforded to planters to turn j itheir produce to account, there can be no doubt thai ithe 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. , The European population i 3 already considerable, and rapidly increasing; and the general desire- to support law and order, and the partial recognition of the Government by Great Britain, afford a reasonable ground for believing that transactions in Fiji may bo ■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 tlie Company and, 'from data'furnished1 to the promoters, it is believed that a very satisfactory return on the capital to bo invested wiU be ensured. ..j.j [ . , . The scope of the Company's operations will not bo confined to 'Fiji, but will embrace the numerous (groups of Islands In the Pacific, as encouragement jmay from time to .time offer. j It ia believed that a paid-up Capital of £50,000 will, for a time, amply provide for the current'requirements' of the Company, the un-piid Capital remaining as a 'basis for credit with its Agents. A further issue of (shares wiU 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 a deposit of 10s per share will be required on •application and a Uke amount on aUotment. Sub sequent caUs 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 share—Will be r'ecsived by the Secretary oh and'afterlst August and up to Ist Septemper next, a preference being given to priority of application. In event of no allotment boing made the deposit will be returned in full. Auckland, 4th July, 1873. FORM OE APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
