The object of this Company is to provide ton nage suitable to the growing trade of the Port • of Auckland, so that the imports and exports of our city may be as much as possible carried In locally-owned VESSBts, and the shipping business carried on by a purely local com pany. • • • ■: t- : t The rates of freights current'in this oolony compare moot favourably with those ruling i» neighbouring colonies, and are, as a roE;' sufficiently remunerative to leave a good prom; trading hence either foreign or Intercolonial. The acknowledged daily increasing commer cial importance of Auckland Is a source of gratification, and tho shipping trade, under skilful management and with sufficient cepttaL would-meet with speedy and great develop. ment with many parts of the World with which we are at present not in absolutely direct com munication. Tho 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. There is ample room for a well-organised new ' line between Auckland and London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, with Now Yoi&, ana With some of the larger centres of Continental Knropeaa trade. Of course, tho large and increasing export ot bulk and sawn timber will form aa important adjunct. A trade with Tasmania, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, &a, being al ready established, could easily be continued with regularity, whilst the Newcastle and Grey mouth coal trades should be also provided for. There is a vast field in prospective for a good trade with America, Mauritius, China, Mnnffl. Calcutta, the Cape, Noumea, and numerous foreign ports, with Borne of which, even at tho present moment, a profitable direct trade Is mine carried on in a desultory manner, and which would find support from the new In dustries lately established here and in proapeo tiWJSteMSshmenk _. r „,,_.._ «.„«« selves to running their own.'-?easels, but will from time to time charter vessels when re quired, in the event of their] own not betas immediately available. mm" Messrs Stone Brothers, who have for some time carried on a good shipping hnabießs and who have now fairly started anewLondon'line. possess tho nucleus of a fleet suitable for com mencing operations, and nrrannomants have been made to take over their .vessels and the good-will of their shipping business for the sum of thirty thousand six hundred and fifty rounds «30,650>, they taking; half the ampunt^nCom pnny'a shares.
