This Company is being formed for the purpose Of encouraging the Growth of, and for Manufac turing, Tobacco in the Colony of Now Zealand. Various experiments have proved that tho climate of New Zealand is peculiarly adapted to the growth of Tobacco, and that in the Auck land Provincial District the best Havana loaf can be grown, and all that is required to start a most importantandremuncrativc local industry is a sufficient amount of capital. The Colonial Industries Commission made the following report on the 12th day of March, lSSO:- AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.-TOBACCO. "The most important agricultural industry which has been brought under the notice of tho Commission is undoubtedly the cultivation of Tobacco for manufacturing purposes. The evidence established the fact that any quantity of Tobacco, equal in quality to the finest American, can be srown in New Zealand, and that there is no reason why the wholo of the Tobacco consumed in the Colony should not ultimately be produced and manufactured in it. This industry would afford profitable 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 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 tho Customs duty on imported Tobacco could be raised by means of stamps on the locally pro duced Tobacco." j The filial report of the Colonial Industries and Tariff Commission, laid beforo the House of Representatives on tho sth of September, 1881, on 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 tho duty on Tobacco grown within the Colony, should be reduced to One Shilling per lb. for a period of not less than five years." In necordanco with such recommendation, tho following section was inserted into an Act of the year 1881, entitled "An Act to Alter the Duties of Customs and Excise." :— " In lieu of the bonus specified in section 12 of the ' Tobacco Act. 1570," the following provisions shall take effect on and after the passing of this Act, namely—The duty on Tobacco manu factured in the Colony shall be One Shilling pel' round, and this rate of duty shall remain in force until the 31 et day of December, 1880." Thepresentduty on imported Tobacco is Three 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 acres of good land, and numbers of farmers have expressed their willingness to enter into contracts for the growth of Tobacco"at prices varying from five pence to teupence per lb. for all sound leaf ac cording to quality. The Custom returns for (he yenr ISS2 show that duty was paid in New Zealand, during that year, on 1,050,5751b5. of Tobacco, and SB,97_bs. of Cigars, or ISSi tons of Tobacco, and 39j tons of Cigars; while the Victorian returns for 1881 show that the quantity of manufactured Tobacco imported into that Colony during tho year was 1.309.5391b5., and of unmanufactured leaf, 3_,G571b3. 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 bo growu over and above what will be required for local consumption. Several manufactories of Tobacco and Cigars have been established in the Colonies of 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 tho disadvantage of competing with others. Tho Company will be able to sell Tobacco and Cigars 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 public who aro smokers cannot bo too highly rated. The total number ef farmers now contracting is sixty-nino, while the acreage under cultivation exceeds six hundred. It is intended that the Company shall take 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 eightpencc per lb. tor tho large varie ties ; up to tenpence for Havana raw leaf. The Promoters beg to call tho attention of in tending investors to the fact that they have no intention of buying land, or othorwise expend ing money, except for furnishing farmers with tho necessary quantities of superior seed, and otherwise putting them in the way of pro ducing and harvesting tho leaf. The Company aro prepared to become purchasers of their crops at a price remunerative both to tho grower and the Company as manufacturers. The present enterprise should recommend itsolf strongly to all New Zealand farmers, mer chants, and others interested in tho advance and prosperity of the Colony. Apart from the consideration of actual profit to those concerned in the undertaking, great good must indisputably accrue to the Colony by tho iutroduction of an industry which will tend to keep in this country the large amount of money which is annually sent abroad for the purchase of tho imported article.
