The object of this Company Is to provido ton oage 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 vessels, and the shipping business carried on by a purely local com pany. The rates of freights current In this colony compare most favourably with those ruling in neighbouring colonies, and are, as a rule, soffiolontly remunerative to leave a good profit, trading hence either foreign or intercolonial. The acknowledged dully increasing oommor olal importance of Auckland Is a source of gratification, and the shipping trade, under skilful management and with sufficient capital, 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. The objeot 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 Auokland and London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, with New York, and with somo of the larger centres of Continental European trade. Of course, the large and increasing export of bulk and sawn timber will form an Important adjunot. A trade with Tasmania, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sec, 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, Manilla Calcutta, the Cape, Noumea, and numerous foreign ports, with some of which, even at the present moment; a profitable direct trade la gelng carried on in a desultory manner, and which would find support from the new in dustries lately established here and In prospec tive establishment. The Company do not propose to limit them selves to running their own vessels, but will from time to time charter vessels when re quired. In the event of tholr, own not being Immediately available, Messrs Stone Brothers, who have for some time carried on a good shipping business, and who have now fairly started a new London line, possess the nucleus of a fleet suitablo for com menoing operations, and arrangements 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 pounda £30,650), they taking half the amount in Com )any"s shares. Their fleet, consisting of 8 vessels, with aggregate tonnage of 2842 tons, should be augmented as soon aa possible, so that the business may be extended without delay, especially the London and American branches, The services of Mr C. B. Stone, as managing director, and the staff at present under his control, who are experienced in this line of rasiness, hnvo been secured to tako office under the new Company. It is further proposed that the working ex penses should bo conducted on striotly economi cal principles, the expense of agencies and branohes to be defrayed out of commissions on the actual freights earned by those branohes. The proposed capital is set down at 4160,000, but as only a small portion is required at present for the purchase of the existing fleet and coe tinKent expenses, further capital will not be called up until vessels suitable for the London and other trades may offer for sale at reasonable prices, until which time it is proposed to charter vessels as required to supplement the present fleot. It is proposed to invite all Auokland business men and all who may have any interest in the trade of our port to tako Shares in this looal Company, and to give the undertaking every possible support. The Company would thus be n a measure self-supporting, ana strong enough to compote most successfully with any outaido or foreign company or foreign shipping. The Company could then not fail to bo a credit to our port, and a most lucrative Investment to Shareholders. The promoters having every confidence In the snoooss of the undertaking, now appeal to the public to insure it by subscribing freely for Shares. t LJ3T OF VESSELS, jj^f^ Lalra, Iron' Barque - - ~ _ 492 ' Alcestls, Iron Barque - - 888 Stanley, Wooden Brlgantlne _ _ 851 ParnoU, Wooden Brlgantine _ 348 Oaberfeldh, Wooden Barque _ ..833 Peerless, wooden Brtoanone - .298 Bella Mary,-Wooden Barque _ -244 Energy, wooden 3-masted Schooner _ 185 £3 ■ 'An extract from the books of Messrs.
