This Company is being formed for the purpose of encouraging the Growth of, and for Manufac turing, Tobacco in the Colony of New Zealand. Various experiments have proved that the climate of Now Zealand is peculiarly adapted to the growth of Tobacco, and that in the Auck land Provincial District the best Havana leaf can be grown, and all that is required to start a most importantandremunerativelocal industry is a sufficient amount of capital. The Colonial Industries Commission mado the following report on the 12th day of March, 1880:- 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 ue grown in New Zoaland, 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 allbrd profitable employment to ccittago /'armors, 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 the Customs duty on importod Tobacco could be raised by means of stamps on the locally pro duced Tobacco." The linal report of the Colonial Industries and Tarill' Commission, laid before the House of Representatives on the 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 the duty on Tobacco grown within tho Colony, should be reduced to One Shilling per lb. for a period of not leas than live years." In accordance with such recommendation, the following section was inserted into an Act of the year 1881, entitled "An Act to Alter tho Duties of Customs and Excise.":— " In lieu of the bonus specified in section 12 of tho 'Tobacco Act. 1879," the following provisions shall take clfect on and after the passing of this Act, namely—The duty on Tobacco manu factured in tho Colony shall be One Shilling ■per Found, and this rate of duty shall remain m force until the 31st day of December, 18S0." 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 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 ilve pencc to tenpence per ib. for all sound leaf ac cording to quality. The Custom returns for the ye<-~ 1682 show that duty was paid in New Zcaland,'during that year, 0n'1,050.5751b5. of Tobacco, and 88,9721b5. of Cigars, or isiii tons of Tobacco, and 39J tons of Cigars; while the Victorian returns for I*Bl show that the quantity o£ manufactured Tobacco imported into that Colony during the year was 1300 5391b5., and of unmanufactured leaf, 3G9,6571b5. The market for Tobacco outsido 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 Colonies of Victoria and New South Wales, but up to tho present time no manufactory has been established in Now Zealand, and the Company will not havo tho disadvantage of competing with others. The Company will bo 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 tho immense ad vantage of the development of this industry to the public who are smokers cannot be too highly rated. The total number of farmers now contracting is sixty-nine, whilo 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 ofForing prices of from five pence to oightpence per lb. lor the large varie ties ; up to tenpence for Havana raw leaf. The Promoters beg to call the attention of In tending investors to the fact that they have no intention of buying land, or otherwise oxpend ing money, except for furnishing fanners with the necessary quantities of superior seed, and othcrwiso putting them in the way of pro ducing and harvesting the leaf. The Company are prepared to become purchasers of their crops at a price remunerative both to the grower ana the Company as manufacturers. Tho present enterprise should recommend itself 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 tho undertaking, great good must indisputably accrue to the Colony by the introduction of an industry which will lend to keep in this country the large amount of money which is annually sent abroad for the purchase of the imported article.
