This Company is being formed for tho purpose of encouraging the Growth of, and for Manufac turing, Tobacco in tho Colony of New Zealand. Various experiments have proved that tho climntoof 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, und all that is required to start a most important and remunerative local industry is a suflleient amount of capitaL Tho Colonial Industries Commission mado the following report on the i2th day of March, 1880:— AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.—TOBACCO. "The most important agricultural Industry which has been brought under the notico of tho Commission is undoubtedly tho cultivation of Tobacco for manufacturing purposes. The evidence established the fact that any quantity of Tobacco, equal in quality to tho llnest Am.rioan, can uo grown in Now Zealand, and that tlioro is 110 reason why the whole of Uio Tobacco consumed in the Colony should not ultimately be produced and manufactured in it. This industry would afford prolltablc employment to cottago farmers, also to women and children who would be engaged in manufacturing, and would utilize large tracts of land, which at pre sent are cither waste or yielding but little, &c. " The Commission arc assured that after fivo or six years cultivation and manufacture, Tobacco'could be produced in New Zealand, equal in quality to any that is now imported, and that tho industry once established, thesame amount of revenue that is now raised by Ihe Customs duty on mported Tobacco could be raised by means of stamps on the locally pro duced Tobacco." The final report of the Colonial Industries and Tariff Commission, laid before tho Houso of Representatives on the slh of September, ISSI, ou the 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 the 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 ISSI, entitled "An Act to Alter the Duties of Customs and Excise." :— "In lieu of the bonus specified in section 12 of the 'Tobacco Act. 1.7'J," the following provisions shall take efl'ect on and after the passing of this Vet, namely—The duty on Tobacco manu factured in the Colony shall be One Shilling per fount!, and this rate of duty shall roniain [ii force until the 31st day of December, 1880." Theprcsentdnty on imported Tobacco isThree Shillings and Sixpence por lb, and on Cigars, Six Shillings. It ia estimntcd that about two tons of To bacco can be obtained from three acres of good land, and numbers of farmers hare expressed their willingness to enter into contracts for the growth of Tobacco at prices varying from flvc pence to tenpence per lb. for all sound leaf ac cording to quality. Tho Custom returns for the year 1882 show that duty was .paid in New Zealand during that rear, on 1,080.5751113. of Tobacco, and 85,9721b5. of Cigars, or ISfi. tons of Tobacco, and 3!l_ tons of Cigars; while tho Victorian returns for 1881 show that the quantity of manufactured Tobacco imported into that Colony during the year was 1 30° SBfllbs, and of unmanufactured leaf, 5G9.6571-S. , ... .. :_ . . The market for Tobacco outside the Colonies is almost unlimited, and no difficulty will be found in advantageously disposing of any sur plus amount that may be grown over and above what will be required for local consumption. Several manufactories of Tobacco and Cigars have been established in the Coloniesof Victoria and New South Wales, but up to the present time no manufactory has been established in New Zealand, and the Company will not have the disadvantage of competing with others. The Company will bo ablo to sell Tobacco nnd Cigars at 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 I ho public who aro smokers cannot bo too highly rnted The total number ef farmers now contracting is sixty-nine, whilo the acreage under cultivation exceeds six hundred. It is intended that tbe Company shall take over tho contracts which have been mado in anticipation of the formation of tho Company. Tho Company is offering prices of from flve penco to cightponco per lb. for tho large varie ties ; up to tenpenco 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 otherwiso 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 tlio leaf. The Company arc prepared to become purchasers of their crops at a price remunerative both to tlio grower and the Company as manufacturers. Tho present onterpriso should recommend itself strongly to nil New Zealand farmers, mer chants, and others interested in the advance and prosperity of tho Colony. Apart from the consideration of actual prollt to those concerned in the undertaking, great good must indisputably accrue to the Colony by the iutroduction of an industry which will tend to keep in this gauntry the large amount of money which is annually sent abroad for tho purchaso of tho importod article, Forms of Application for Share, may be obtained at tho offices of MESSRS FREDK.
