This Company is being formed forthepurposo of encouraging tho Growth of, and for Manufac turing, Tobacco in the Colony of New Zealand. Various experiments have proved that the climate of New Zealand is peculiarly adapted to tho 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 important and remunerative local industry is a sufficient amount of capital. The Colonial Industries Commission made the following report on the 12th day of March, 1880:- AGKICULTURAL PRODUCTS.-TOBACCO. "The most'important agricultural industry which has been brought under the notice of the 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 do crown in New Zealand, and that there is no reason why tho whole 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 the Customs duty on imported Tobacco could be raised by means of stamps on the locally pro duced Tobacco." The final report of the Colonial Industries and Tariif Commission, laid before the House of Representatives on the sth of September, ISSI, 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 the Colony, should bo reduced to One Shilling per lb. for a period of not less than five years." In accordance with such reeommendatlon, the following section was inserted into an Act of tho 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 1879," the following provisions shall take effect on and after the passing of thiß Act, namely—The duty on Tobacco manu factured in the Colony shall be One Shilling per found, and this rate of duty Bhall remain in force until the 3lst day of December, 18E6." Theprosentduty on imported Tobacco is Tiir'eo Shillings and Sixpence per lb, and on Cigars, Six Shillings. It is estimated that about two tons of To bftcco can be obtained'from three acres of good land, and numbers of farmers have oxpressed their willingness to enter into contracts for the growth of Tobacco at prices varying from five pence to tonpence per lb. for all sound leaf ac cording to quality. The Custom returns for tho year ISS2 show that duty was paid in New Zealand, during that year, on 1,080,5751b5. of Tobacco, andßS,972lbs. of Cigars, or 4SGS tons of Tobacco, and 393 tons of ' Cigars; while the Victorian returns for 1881 show that tho quantity of manufactured Tobacco imported into that Colony during the year was ].309.5391b5., and of unmanufactured leaf, 369,0571b5. The market for Tobacco outside the Colonies I is almost unlimited, and no difficulty will bo ' found in advantageously disposing of any but • plus amount that may be grown over and above • what will be required for local consumption. I Several manufactories of Tobacco and Cigars • have been established in the Colonies of Victoria ■ and Now South Wales, but up to tho present I time no manufactory has been established in New Zealand, and tho Company will not have the disadvantage of competing with others. The Company will bo able to soil Tobacco and ■ Cigars at a nignly remunerative) price to them selves for much less than even the present duty ■ on imported Tobacco, so that the immense ad t vantage of the development of this industry to . the public who are smokers cannot be too highly . rated i The total number of farmers now contracting is sixty-nino, whilo the Hcroage 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. , The Company is offering prices of from flye ' pence to eightpence per lb. tor the large varie ties ;up to tenpence for Havana raw leaf. \ i The Promoters beg to call the attention of In i tending investors to the fact that they hsvo no intention of buying land, or otherwise expend ing nionay, except for furnishing farmers with tho \ncccssary quantities of superior seed, and otherwise putting them in the way of pro ducing and harvesting the leaf. The Company arc prepared to become purchasers of their crops at a price remunerative both to the grower and the Company as manufacturers.
