Broker: Brokers' Association. Secretary Pro Tan.: FUKDK. NUTTHKB. This Company is being formed lor thej>u»posc of encouraging tho Growth of, and forManufac taring, Tobacoo in the Colony of New Zealand Various experiments have proved that the •limalo of New Zealand is peculiarly adapted to the growth of Tobacco, and that in the Auoic land Provincial District the best Havana luai con be grown, and all that i» required to start a most importantand remunerative local industry i* a BUiUolent amount of capital. Tho Colonial Industries Commission made the following report on the i2tk day of Mureh, 18S0:- AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT3.-TOBACCO. "The most important agricultural industry which has been brought under tho notice of the Commission is undoubtedly tho cultivation of Tobacco for manufacturing purposoe. The evidence established the fact that any quantity of Tobacco, equal in quality to the finest American, can be grown in New Zealand, und that thoro is no reason why the wholo of tha Tobacco consumed In the Colony should not ultimately be produced and manufactured in it. Thia industry would afford prolitablo employment to cottago farmers, also to women and children who would be engaged in manufacturing, and would utilize large tracts of land, which at pre sent are either vuate or yielding but little, &o. " The Commission are assured that after live or six years cultivation and manufacture, Tobacco could be produced in New Zealand, equal in quality to any that is now imported, and that tlie industry once established, thusainc amount of revenue that is now raised by the Customs duty on mportcd Tobacco could be raised by nieiiim of sl;un|i9 on tliu locally pro duced Tobacco." The llnal report of the Colonial Industries and Tariff Commission, laid before tho Houso of Representatives on the sth of Scptembur, 1881. on the culture and manufacture of Tsbacoo, was as follows :— "That in order to encourage the growth and manufacture of Tobacco in New Zealand, your Committee recommend that the duty on Tobacco Ki'oivn ■'jithin tho Colony, should be reduced to On« Hliilling perlb. for a period of ' not less than five yearn.' » In accordance with such rceoiamcndation, tho following section was inserted into an Act of the year 1881, entitled "An Act to Altor Uie Dutios'of. Customs and Exoisc.":— •'ln lieu of the bonus spocilled in section 14 of the ' Tobacco Act. 1879," tho following provisions shall take effect on and af lor the passing of IMb Act, namely— Tho duty on Tobacco manu factured In tho Colony shall be One Shilling per I omul, nnd this rate of duty shall remain |n force until the 31st day of December, 1886." Theprcsent duty on imported Tobacco is Three Shillings and Sixpence per lb, and on Cigaw, Six Shillings. It is estimated tlmt about two tons of To bacco can be obtained from three acros of good land, nnd numbers of fanners have exproised tlioir willingness to enter into contracts for the growth of Tobacco at prices varying from five 'pence to tenpenee per lb. lor all sound leal ac cording to quality. The Custom returns for the year ISS2 show that duty was paid in New Zealand, during that year, on 1,080.57u1b5. of Tobacco, and SS.972lbs. of Cigars, or ISiJH tons of Tobacco, and 3UJ tons of Cigars; while the Victorian returns for I*Bl show that the quantity of iminufnctured Tobacco imported into that Colony duriiiß the year was i.Snfl.fiSOlbg., and of unmanufactured leaf, The market for Tobacco outside the Colonies is almost unlimited, nnd no difficulty will be found in advantageously disposing of any sur plus amount that may bo grown over and above what will be required for local consumption. Several manufactories of Tobacco and Cigars have been established In tho Colonies of Victoria and Now South Wales, bat up to the present time no manufactory haa boon established in New Zealand, and the Company will not hare tlie disadvantage of competing with oUicra. The Company will be able to sell Tobacco and Cigars at a highly remunerative price to them selves for much lcs» than even the present duty on imported Tobacco, so that the immense ad vantage of the development of this industry to tho nubiUj who are smokers cannot be too highly MWB The total number of farmers now contracting is sixty-nino, while tho acreage under cultivation exceed 3 cii hundred. It is intended that the Conipiuiy shall tako over the contracts which liavc been macle in anticipation of tiie formation of the Company. The Company is offering prices of from five penco to oightpenco per lb. for the largo varie ties ; up to tenponce for Havana raw leaf. Tho Promoters beg to call the attention of in tending investors to the fact that they havo no intention of buying land, or otherwise expend ing money, except for furnishing farmers with tho necessary quantities of superior seed, and otherwiso putting them in tho way of pro ducing and harvesting the leaf. The Company are prepared to become purchasers of their crops at a price roniuneratlvo both to tho grower and the Company as manufacturers. The Dreßent enterprise should rccommond itself strongly to all New Zealand farmers, mer chants, anil others interested in tho advance and prosperity of tho Colony. Apart from the consideration of actual profit to those concerned in tho undortoking.great good must indisputably accrue to the Colony by tho introduction of an industry which will tend to keep in this country the large amount of monoy which is annually sent abroad for the purchnso of tlie imported article.
