This Company is being formed for the purpose of encouraging tho Growth of, and for Manufac turing, Tobacco in the Colony of New Zealand. Various experiments have proved that the climate of New Zealand is peculiarly adapted to the growth of Tobacco, and that in the Auck land Provincial District tho best Havana leaf can be grown, and all Hint is required to start a most importanland remunerative local industry is a sufficient amount of capital. The Colonial Industries Commission mads the following report ou the 12th day of March, 1880:— AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.-TOBACCO. "Tho most important agricultural industry which bos been brought under the notico of the Commiswon is undoubtedly tho cultivation of Tobacco for manufacturing purposes. Tho evidence established llio fact that any quantity of Tobacco, equal in quality to the llnest American, can be in-own in New Zealand, and that there is no reason why the whole of the Tobacco consumed in tho Colony should not ultimately bo produced and manufactured In it. This industry would all'ord prolituble employment to cottage 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 waste or yielding but little, &c. "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 the industry once established, thesame amount of revenue that is now raised by tho Customs duty on imported Tobacco could be raised by means of stamps on the locally pro duced Tobacco." Tho final report of the. Colonial Industries and Tariff Commission, laid beforo tho House of Representatives on the sth of September, 1881, on the culture and manufacture of Tobacco, was us follows:— "That in order to encourage the growth and manufacture of Tobacco iv New Zealand, your Committee recommend that the duty on Tobacco growji within the Colony, should be reduced to Oiiie Shilling per lb. for a period of not less than five years." In accordance with such recommendation, the following section was inserted into an Aot of the vcar 1881, entitled "An Act to Alter the Dutics'c-f Customs and Excise." :— "In liou of tho bonus specified in section 12 ef the 'Tobacco Act. 1879,"tliefollowingprovisions shall take elfect on and after the passing of this Act, namely —Tho duty on Tobacco manu factured in tho Colony shall he One ShUling per f-ouiul, and this rate of duty sliall remain [ti force until tho 31st day of December, 18SS." 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 three acros of good land, and numbers of farmers have expressed their willingness to enter into contracts for the growth of Tobacco al prices varying from five pence to tenpence per lb. lor all sound leaf ac cording to quality. The Custom returns for tho year 18S2 show that duty was paid in New Zealand,during; that year, On 1,080.9?— be. of Tobacco, andSß,972lbs. of Cigars, or iSH'i lons of Tobacco, and 303 tons of Cigars; while tho Victorian returns for I*Bl show that the quantity of manufactured Tobacco imported into that Colony during the year was 1 hod 5.'!01b5., and of unmanufactured leaf, 360,65?!b5. 'the market for Tobacco outside the Colonies is almost unlimited, and no diflietilty will bo found in advantageously disposing of any sur plus amount that may be grown over and abovo what, will he required for local consumption. Several luaniifac.luricsof Tobacco and Cigars have been established inlbe Colonies of Victoria .mil New South Wales, but up to the present time no manufactory lias been established in New Zealand, and the Company will not havo the disadvantage of competing with others. The Company will be able to sell Tobacco and Clears at a highly remunerative price to them selves for much less than even the present duty on imported Tobacco, so that the immense ad vantage of the development of this industry to tho nublio who aro smokers cannot be too highly feted Tho total number cf farmers now contracting is sixty-nine, while tho acreage under cultivation exceeds six hundred. It is intended that the Company shall tako over the contracts which have been made in anticipation of the formation of tho Company. Tho Company is offering prices of from flve penco to oightponce per lb. lor tho largo varie ties ; up to tonpencc for Havana raw leaf. Tho Promoters beg to call the attention of in tending investors to the fact that they have no intention of buying land, or otherwise expend ing monay, except for furnishing farmers with tho nocessary quantities of superior seed, and othorwiso putting them in tho way of pro ducing and harvesting tho leaf. Tho Company aro prepared to become purchasers of their crops at a prico remunerative both to tho grower and the Company as manufacturers. The proscnt cntorpriso should recommend itself strongly to all New Zealand farmers, mer chants, and others interested in tho advance and prosperity of tho Colony. Apart from the consideration of actual profit, to thoso concerned in tho undertaking, great Rood must indisputably accrue to the Colony by the introduction of an indu'strv which will tend to keep in this country the largo amount of monoy which is annually sent abroad for tho purchase of tho imported article.
