Capital, £250,000; tn 50,000 Shakes gv £5 Each. Fisrt Issue, £100,000; in 20,000 Share* of £5 Each. PROVISIONAL DIRECTORS: James Watt, Esq. C. J. Stone, Esq. Fredk. Whitaker, Esq. William Aitken, Esq. Thomas B. Gillies, Esq. Thomas Morrin, Esq. J. S. Macfarlane, Esq. BANKERS: The Bank of .New Zealand. COMMERCIAL AGENTS : The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency '•■Company (Limited). SOLICITORS : Jklessrs Whitaker and Russoll. SECRETARY (protem.) : A. Wardrop, Esq., Shortland street. TJThe rapidly-increasing importance of the mercantile interests in the group of islands comprised in tho Kingdom-of Fiji, and the absence of any reliable 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 settlors in these Islands have encountered, the pro gress made in the development of Commerce has been very satisfactory,—the returns of exports and imports exhibiting rapid expansion. The capabilities of the Islands for sugar and cotton cultivation are of the very highest description, and, with the Introduction of capital and.the moans afforded to planters to turn their produce to account, thero can be no doubt that the abbro 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 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,seasonable ground for believing that transactions in Fiji may be undertaken with safety, arid with the same recourse as iv more settled communities. Important concessions, Including an exclusive right to issue bank notes and to transact all Governmont {..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. The scope of the Company's operations will not be confined to Fiji, but will embrace the numerous groups: of Islands in the Pacific, as enceuragement may from time to time offer. It is believed that a paid-tip Capital of £50,000 will, for a time, amply provide for the 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 per 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 share—will be recoived by the Secretary on and after Ist August and up to Ist Septemper noxt, a preference being given to priority of application. In event of no allotment being made tho deposit will be returned in full. Auckland; 4th July, 1873. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
