CORRESPONDENCE.

THE COSTLEY BEQUEST.

' Sir,—On reading the will bftheliWHj' I ; Costley as it appears in your leading _tj_j - ' f ' of this evening's date, it seemed to mi'thi.

Owing to the difference of seasons in the two hemis pheres, the Company would be in a position to offer tho fruit consumers of these countries fresh apples at a) time of the year, when their local supply would be almost exhausted. LAND. The land to be taken over by the Company consists of 22S aores, on the east bank of the Tamakl River, being lots 13, and part of lots 43 and 16, Parish of Fa-urangn; flrst-olosa agricul tural land, fenced, drained, and well cultivated.

These were selected and secured early In tbe season, and are the pick of the local nurseries— being as fine an assortment as could be procured under tbo most favourable conditions. The price will average about 9d each. Ages ranging from one to five years: principally two years old. Over fifty thousand secured for this sea son's planting. The cost to the Company of the Orchard, when fully planted at 10 feet apart (500 trees per acre), will amount to 2s 2d per tree, including land and all other expenses.* Allowing £6 5s per acre for culture, interest, and expenses the first year, will bring tho cost up to 2s 5d per tree. ' , RETURNS. The second year after planting, a bonus of £1 per aore under " The Forest Treee Planting Encouragement Act," t together with on average of 3d worth of fruit per treo.t will cover the year's expenses at the rate of £7 2s 6d_per aore. and pay a dividend of 9 per cent The third year an average of 6d worth of fruit per tree will provide for £8 6s 8d per acre expenses, and a dividend of 12 per cent. The fourth year an average of is worth of fruit per tree will pro vide for expenses at the liberal rate of £1510s per aore, and allow a dividend of 25 per cent The fifth year an average of 2s worth of fruit per tree will cover expenses at the rate of £18 15s per aero, provide for tho balance of tho pnr ohase money of the land (£5,000), besides pay ment of a dividend of 16 per cent Every pennyworth of fruit per tree over and above expenditure will yield a profit of 6 per cent on paid-up capital. Supposing, then, from this period forward £25 per acre (one shilling per tree) is allowed for expenses, every addi tional shilling's worth of fruit per tree will give a profit of 72 (seventy-two) per cent on paid-up capital. Approximately, each share will entitle the holder to tho produce or profits from five trees, after deducting proportionate expenses tor culture and care. DISPOSAL OF PRODUCE. As the possibility of disposing of such quanti ties of fruit as an orohard of this size would produce has been questioned, it may bo as well to draw attention to tho rapidly increasing faci lities for sending not only meat, but fresh fruit, to the London and Continental markets, and also to the fact that .within 40 days of being gathered in onr autumn, our apples may be placed on the Covent Garden fruit stalls In the English Spring. Packed in cool cham bers adjacent to the frozen meat compartments in the direct steamers, the fruit will keep much fresher than if stored for tho same length of time in New Zealand Anyone acquainted with London markets need not be informed of the ready sale and high prices obtainable for any thing in the shapo of fresh fruit ont of the ordinary English season. The Californian market also Is one not to be despised; A popu lation aooustomed to consuming apples largely during ten months of tho year must prove good customers during the other two, when their own supply runs ont and ours comes in. The opening of the Panama Canal is also ex pected to take place in about five or six years, by which time this Company should be in a position to forward by it large quantities of fruit. Its opening will bring, practically, to our doors, an unlimited market for Auck land-grown fruit, not only in London, but in all the huge citiea of the Eastern States of America and the Continent of Europe. No apprehension need therefore be felt as regards a market tor our produce, nor from competition in supplying that market It most be borne in mind also that, as regards our local market, as the supply increases so does the consuming population, and that in proportion as prices are lowered consumption increases. And that apart from ail other means of disposing of the produce, the manufacture of cider in Itself would prove a most profitable mode of utilising It There is every reason to anticipate that this undertaking will prove bo highly profitable to its shareholders that it will become the nucleus of one of the largest and most important indus tries yet developed in Auckland. Further particulars may be had and Share List inspected at the Office of the Company. J. T. MELVILLE, Sec, pro tern.

The trees maybe of any description, and the number planted must be at the rate of not less than five hundred per acre." t The allowance made in this estimate of an average of 3d worth of fruit per tree, the seoond year; fid the third;ls the fourth, and la the fifth, is considered absuidly low by many practical growers, and it may be as well to mention that while these quantities are used in this estimato, there is every reason to believe that they will prove far below actual results. and that tho returns will warrant the payment of dividends even greater than is herein calcu lated upon—for instance, if the returns exceed any of tho above-named averages by twopence worth of fruit per tree, it would bo equivalent to an additional twelve por cent dividend. Nothing at all is allowed in this estimato for the increased value of the land and stock (only the actual returns in fruit being taken into account), but the profit from this source alone would be ; very considerable, and there is no extravagance _ in the assumption that in five years time from • the commencement, the capital value of each tree, with the ground it occupied, would stand at not leas than five shillings, representing a ' profit of more than 22s (id per share, exclusive of profits from sale of fruit.
