Solicitors: Whitakkr, Russell, and Buddle. Broker: Brokers' Association. Secretary Pro Tern.: Frkdk. Nutter. 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 moat important and remunerative local industry is a sufficient amount of capital. The Colonial Industries Commission mode 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 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 be grown in New Zealand, and that there is no reason why the whole of the Tobacco consumed In the Colony should not ultimately bo produced ana manufactured in it. This Industry would afford profitable employment to cottage fanners, also to women and children who would bo engaged in manufacturing, and would utilize large tracts of land, which at pre sent are either waste or yielding but little, &a "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 tho 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 Tariff Commission, laid before tho House of Representatives on the 6th of September, 1881, on tho culture and manufacture of Tobacco, was as follows: — "That in order to encourage tho growth and manufacture of Tobacco In New Zealand, your Committee recommend that the duty on Tobacco grown within the Colony, should be reduced to One Shilling per lb, for a period of not leas than five years. In accordance with'such recommendation, the following section was inserted into an Act of the year 1881, entitled "An Act to Alter the Dutieß of Customs and Excise." :— " In lieu of the bonus specified In section 12 of tho 'Tobacco Act 1879," tie following provisions shall take effect 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 In force until tho 31et day of December, 1886." Thepresent duty 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 io enter into contracts for the growth of Tobacco at prices varying from five pence to tenpence per lb. for all sound leaf ac cording to quality. The Custom returns for the year 1882 show that duty was paid in New Zealand, during that year, on 1,080,5751b5. of Tobacco, and 88,972108. of Cigars, or 4863 tons of Tobacco, and 393 tons of Cigars; while the Victorian returns for 1881 show that the cjuantity of manufactured Tobacco imported into that Colony during tho year was 1.3f19,5391b5,, and of unmanufactured leaf, 389,6571bg. 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 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 boon established in Now Zealand, and the Company will not have the disadvantage of competing with others. i Tho Company will be able to Bell 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 iknmenßO ad vantage of the development of this industry to tho publlo who are smokers cannot be too highly rated, Tho total number ef farmers now contracting is sixty-nine, while tho acreage under cultivation exceeds six hundred. It is intended that the Company shall take over the contracts which have >oen made in anticipation of the formation of tho Company. Tho Company is offering prices of from five pence to eightpence per lb. for the large varie ties ; up to tonponce 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 oxpond- Ing money, exoe'pt for furnishing farmers with the necessary quantities of superior seed, and otherwise putting them in the way of pro ducing and Harvesting the leaf. The Company aro prepared to become purchasers of their crops at a price remunerative both to the gro w«r and the Company as manufacturers. The present enterprise should recommend itself strongly to all Now Zealand farmers, mer chants, and others interested in the 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 the introduction of an industry which will tend to keep in this courfWy the large amount of money whioh is annually sent abroad for the purchase of the imported artiolo.
