This Company is being formed for tho purposo of encouraging the Growth of, and for It lanufac turing, Tobacco in the Colony of Now Zealand. Various experiments have proved that tho climate of New Zealand is peculiarly adapted to the _;.ow.]i of Tobacco, and that in the Auck land Provincial District the best Havana leaf can be grown, and all that is required to start a most impoi'tantand remunerative local industry is a sufficient amount of capital. The Colonial Industries Commission made the following report on the 12th day of Mar.h, 1880:- AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.-TOBACCO. "Tho most important agricultural industry which has been brought under the notice of the Commission is undoubtedly tho cultivation of Tobacco for manufacturing purposes. Tho evidence established the fact Unit any quantity of Tobacco, equal in quality to the llnest American, can be grown in New Zealand, and that there is no reason why the wholo of tho Tobacco consumed in tho Colony should not ultimately be produced and manufactured in it. This industry would afl'ord prolltable employment to cottage fanners, also to women and children who would bo engaged in manufacturing, and would utilize large tracts of land, which at pre sent are either waste or yielding but little, Sec. "The Commission are assured that after five or six years cultivation and manufacture, Tobacco could be produced in New Zealand, equal in quality to any that is now imported, and that the industry once established, the same amount of revenue that is now raised by the Customs duty on. niported Tobacco could bo raised by means of stamps on the locally pro duced Tobacco." The final report of the Colonial Industries and Tariff Commission, laid before tho House of Representatives on the sth of September, 1881, on tbe culture and manufacture of Tobacco, 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 grown within tbe Colony, should bo reduced to One Shilling per lb. for a period of not less than live years." In accordance with such recommendation, tho following section was inserted into an Act of the year 1881, entitled "An Act to Alter tbe Duties'of Customs and Excise.":— " In lieu of the bonus specified in Bection 12 of the • Tobacco Act. 1870," the following provisions Bhn'.l take clt'cct on and after tho passing of tliis Act, namely —Tho duty on Tobacco manu factured in tho Colony shall be One Shitting per found, and this rate of duty shall remain in force until the 31st day of December, 18SU." The present duty on imported Tobacco is Threo Shillings and Sixpence per lb, and on Cigars, Six Shillings. It is estimated that about two tons of To bacco can be obtained from threo acres Of good land, and numbers of farmers havo expressed their willingness to enter into contract* for the growth of Tobacco at prices varying from flvo penco to tenpencc per lb. for all sound leaf ac cording to quality. The Custom returns for tho year 1882 show that duty was paid in New Zealand, during that year, on 1,050,5751b5. of Tobacco, andS.,B72lbs. of ClB„ro. nv 4RU3 tona of Tobacco, and 39_ tons 0_ Cigars; while tbe Victorian returns for 1881 show that the quantity of manufactured Tobacco imported into that Colony during the year was 1.309,5391_„ and of unmanufactured leaf, _..6571b5. The market for Tobacco outsido the Colonieß is almost unlimited, and no ditllculty will be found in advantageously disposing of any sur plus amount that may be growu over and above what will be required for local consumption. Several manufactories of Tobacco and Cigars have been established in tho Colonies of Victorin and New South Wales, but up to the present time no manufactory has been established in New Zealand, and the Company will not hare the disadvantage of competing with others. The Company will bo able to sell Tobacco and Cigars nt a highly remunerative price to them selves for much less than even the presont duty on imported Tobacco, so that the immense ad vantage of the development of this industry to tho public who aro smokers cannot bo too highly rattfl Tho total number of farmers now contracting is sixty-nine, whilo the acreage undor cultivation exceeds six hundred. It is intended that tho Company shall take ovor the contracts which have been made in anticipation of tho formation of the Company. The Company is offering pricos of from flve penco to cightpenco por lb. for the large varie ties ; up to tenpencc for Havana raw leaf. The Promoters beg to call the attontion 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 the necessary quantities of superior seed, and otherwise putting them in tho way of pro ducing and harvesting the leaf. The Company aro prepared to become purchasers of thoir crops at a prico remunerative both to tho grower and the Company as manufacturers. Tho present enterprise should recommend itself strongly to all Now Zealand farmers, mer chants, and others interested in tho advance and prosperity of tho Colony. Apart from the consideration of actual profit to those concerned in the undertaking, great good must indisputably accrue to tho Colony by tho iutroductioti of an industry which will tend to keop in this sountry the large amount of money which is annually sent, abroad for tho purchaso of the importod artlelo.
