J. S. Macfarlane, Esq. BANKERS: The Bank of Tfew Zealand. COMMRRJIA.L AGENTS : The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company (Limited). SOLICITORS : Messrs Whitaker and Russell. SECRETARY (pro tern.) : A. Wardrop, Esq., Shortland street. " The 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 settlers 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 rery highest description, and, with the introduction of capital and the means afforded to planters to turn their produce to account, there can be ho'doubt that the above interests will be very speedily and largely increased. Already tracts of country have been wcured 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 hy Great Britain, afford a reasonable ground for believing that transactions in Fiji may be 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 all Government busine.<ss, 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 Cempany's operations will not be 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 forthe current requirements «f the Company, the un-piid 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 10b 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 received by the Secretary on and after Ist August and up to Ist Septemper next, a preference being given to priority of application. In event of no allotment being made the deposit will be returned in fnll. Auckland, 4th July, 1873. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
