Thb New Zealand Iron and S_f__ Com pany, Limited, is organised to mannfaoture Bar and Pig Iron and Wire from the iron sand deposits of the West Coast, by means of the Satonts owned by Messrs John Chambers and f. H. Gardner. The patents owned by Messrs Chambers and Gardner are so essential to the manufacture of iron by the direct process, that it is Impossible to manufacture iron from iron sand in payable quantities without them, thus securing to the Company a monopoly. 9.000 shares are at present offered to the pnblio, payable as follows:—10s on application, 10s on allotment, and 20s at intervals of 3, 6, and 9 months, the remaining 20s at an interval of not loss than three months after the last call, but it is not anticipated that it will be nooessary to call up more than £1 per sharo. In view of the many advantages we possess— a large and constantly growing market at our doors, and separated by so many miles from its present baso of supplies, a praotfoally unlimited supply of iron sand, suitable coal at alow price close at hand, and the oheapness of onr working —we have no hesitation In offering tho shares of this Company as one ot the safest and most K rofltable investments whloh has ever been of ore the public. .

The object of this Company is to provide ton nage suitable to tho growing trado of the Port of Auokland, so that the imports and exports of our olty may be as much as possible carried in locally-owned VESSELS, and the shipping businoss, carried on by a purely local oom- Tho' rates of freights current in this colony compare most favourably with those: ruling in neighbouring colonies, and are, as a rule, aoiSolently remunerative to leave a good profit, trading henoe either foreign or intercolonial. The acknowledged daily increasing commer cial importance ot Auckland is a source of gratification, and the shipping trade, under skUful management and with sufficient capital, would meet with'speedy^and great.doveton ment with many parts of the World with whloh we are at present not in absolutely direot com munication. •'_ ■ , _. ■ ']'■'■ The object of this Company is to provide ves sels to trade in the directions already opened, and others which may from time to time offer inducements. , ', "■ Thero is ample room for a well-organised new Une between Auckland and London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, with New York, and with some of t he larger centres of Continental European i,„ i,. Of oourso, tho large and increasing export of bulk and sawn timber will form an important adiunot. A trade with Tasmania, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, &c being al ready established, could easily be continued with regularity, whilst the Newcastle and Grey month cool trades should be also provided for. There is a vast field in prospective for A good trade with America, Mauritius, China, Manilla, Oalontta, the Cape, Noumea, and ; numerons foreign ports, with some of whiph, even at the present moment, a profitable direot trade is being carried on in it desultory manner, and whioh would find support from the new in dustries lately established hero and in prospec tive establishment, y; .__.,-______.-.» The Company do not propose to limit them selves to running their own vessels; bnt will from time to time charter vessels when re quired, in the event of their, own not being immediately available. Messrs Stone Brothers, who have for some time carried on a good shipping business, and who have now fairly started a new London line, possess the nucleus ot a fleet suitable tor com mencing operations, and arrangements have been made to tako over their vessels and the good-will of their shippingbusiness for the Bum of thirty thousand six hundred and fifty pounds (£3O 650). they taking half the amount in Com pany's shares. Their fleet, consisting of 8 vessels, with aggregate tonnage of am tons, should bo augmented as soon as possible, so that the buslnesß may be extended without delay, especially tho London and American branches. _* _""_.'--_ *_ • -_. The services of Mr C. B. Stone, as managing direotor, and tho staff at present under his control, who are experienced in this line of business, have been aeoured to take office under the now Company. It Is further proposed that tho working ex penses should be conducted on strictly economi cal prinoiples, the expense of agencies and branches to bo defrayed ont of commissions on the aotual freights earned by those branohes. Tho proposed capital is set down at £160,000. but as only a small portion is required at preßent for tho purchase of tho existing fleet and oo«-, tlnaont expenses, further capital will not be called np until vessels suitable for the London and othor trades may offer for sale at reasonable prices, until whioh timo it is proposed to charter vessels as required to supplement the present It is proposed to invito all Auokland business men and all who may have any interest in the trade of our port to take Shares in this local Company, and to give tho undertaking every possible support, Tho Company would thus be In a measure self-supporting, and strong enough to oompeto most successfully with any outside or foreign company or foreign shipping. The Company could then not fail to bo a credit to our port, and a moat lucrative investment to Shareholders. Tho promoters having every confidence in the success of the undertaking, now appeal to the publio to insure it by subscribing freely for Shares.
