Wardrop, Estj., Shortland street. ''•"The^apjdlyJncreapiiiK importance of the mercantile intercsts.'ia. the group of islands comprised in the Kingdom'of Fiji, and, the abfCJiee of, any reliable medium of exchansje in that tcrritbiy, 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 iruthese Islands have encountered, the pro gress made in the development of Commerce has been very satisfactory,-- the returns tif. exports .and imports exhibiting rapid expansion^ The capabilities < f the Islands for sugar and cotton cuUivation 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, spee^tly and larg ly 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 is 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 withsafetyj land withi 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 and. from data furnished to the promoters, it is believed that a very satisfactory return on the capital to be invested will be-ensured. . . - . ■! ' n The scope of the-Company's operations will not be confined to1 Fiji, but will embrace the numerous groups of Islands in the Pacific, a" encouragement may from time to time offer. It is believed that a paid=up Qapital of £50.000 will, for a time, amply provide for the current requirements of the-Company,-'the un-piirt Capital remaining as n basis for credit with its Agents;' ,* AJfUrther issue of shares will be made as required,;:on terms to be settled by the Board of Directors;. • ■ ,'L Of the £2 10s to be called up on the First Issue of shares, a deposit of 10s pnr share will be required on application and a like amount on allotment. Siib sequcnt calls .will-be made as required, not exceeding £1 per share, with a notice of not less than orie month. No promoters' or paid np shares will be issued, and the preliminary expenses.are guaranteed not tdoxceed I £1,000. Applications for shareSj-accompanied by a deposit of 10s per sharo—will be received bjr'the"Secretary on and after Ist August and,up. to Ist Septeraper next, a preference being given 'to priority of application; In event of no allotment l;elng'mado-' the deposit "will be returned" in fiill/J Auckland, 4th July, 1873.
