A really Colonial and National position, to be secured by an equitable distribution of the Sjiares over the whole Uolony. 2. An interested body of Shareholders, to be secured by the utmost care being exercised in • allotting Shares to " persons known to be insurers and bond fide traders ; and 3. Carelul and economical management. The promoters believe that an issue of 60,000 Shares Will, for some time to come, meet all the purposes of the Company; and they purpose that of this number 3 >,000 Shares shall be set apart for allotment over the Northern Provinces Th,e Directors have unanimously decided to place .themselves on an equality with other applicants as to i the allotment of Shares, * Applications for Shares will be recoived by Geo W.
