Th.j quantity of animal charcoal required will be 100 tons to work 75 tons sugar per week. The cost 'of the apparatus for producing the charcoal, which will also light the building with gas, will be about I £200, the charcoal costing £12 to £13 per ton ; the bones in the first instance being estimated to cost £3108. . ! The estimates are based on the proposal to estab lish works capable of producing 75 tons of refined Sugar per week,- the works to be capable of extension to upwards of 100 tons per week. ['''' , . The capital of the Company to be called up is esti mated to be sufficient to complete the works and allow a margin for the purchase of raw material. The uncalled capital will form a basis of credit for u»e at required. {The Refinery could be at work within twelve months from the date of ordering the plant '' The quantity of sugar on which dutrwag paid, in New-Zealand in 182 was 21,420,240 lbs., shewing a consumption of about 100 tons per week; this con sumption is rapidly increasing with the increase of population, bat works of the size proposed would probably be large enough for some years. Estimating that this Company will produce 75 tons of' Sugar per week, and make a profit of only, £110s per ton, it would shew a balance on the year's working Of £5,800; the capital engaged say £36,000 at 10 per cent., would absorb'£3,6oo in dividend, leaving a margin of £2,250 for depreciation and reserve.:, The differential duty which it is expected the Govern ment will allow on unrefined Sugars will enable the Company to command the New Zealand, trade. : The foregoing information sufficiently demonstrates that there is a wide field for the operations.of the proposed Company, and the success which has atten ded similar undertakings elsewhere fully justifies the expectation that the result will be equally satisfactory in New Zealand —more especially: as, from the large quantities of unrefined Sugar now being produced in the neighbouring colonies of Queensland and New South Wales, as wall as in the. South Sea Islands, the raw material can lie obtained with less delay than heretofore. ■ ~| , . ; ■ ,• • '■■■' Applications for shares will be received' at ths various Branches of the Bank of New Zealand, or by the following agents :— ' ~ i Auckland—(i. iW1-Binney,Esq. 5 r :ii fj-'-I' '' Napier—Messrs.
