Solicitors: Whitaker, Russell, and Buddle. Broker: Bitoi_i-ita' Association. Secretary Pro Tern.: Fki.dk. Nutter. This Company is being formed for tho purpose ot encouraging tho.Growth of, and for Manufac turing, Tobacco in tho Colony of New Zealand. Various experiments have proved that the climate of New Zealand is peculiarly adapted to the growth of Tobacco, and that in the Auck land Provincial District the best Havana leaf can bo grown, and all lhat is required to start a most liupoi'taiilaiid remunerative local industry is a sufficient amount of capital. The Colonial Industries Commission mado the following report on the 12th day of March, 1880:- AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT6.-TOBACCO. "The most important agricultural industry which lias been brought under the notice of tlio Commission is undoubtedly tho cultivation of Tobacco for manufacturing purposes. The evidence established the fact that any quantity of Tobacco, equal in quality to the finest American, can lie grown in New Zealand, and that thero is no reason why the wholo of the Tobacco consumed in tho Colony should not ultimately be produced and manufactured in it. This industry would afford profitable employment to cottago fanners, 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, thosamo amount of revenue that is now raised by the Customs duty on: mported Tobacco could be raised by incanß of stamps on the locally pro duced Tobacco." The final report of the Colonial Industries and Tariir Commission, laid beforo 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 lhat the duty on Tobacco grown within the Colony, should bo reduced to One Shilling per lb. for a period of not less than live years. In accordance with such recommendation, the following section was inserted into an Act of the year ISBI, entitled "An Actio Alter the Duties "of Customs and Excise.":— "In lieu of the bonus specified in section 12 of the 'Tobacco Act. 187'J."tlicfollowing provisions shall take ell'ect on and after the passing of this Act, namely—Tho duty on Tobacco manu factured in the Colony shall be One Skill inn ' per round, and this rate of duty shall remain _n force until the 31st day of December, 188 C." The present 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 havo expressed their willingness lo 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 ISB2 show that duty was paid in New Zealand, during that year, on'l,oSo.S7slbs. of Tobacco, andßS.972lbs. of Cigars, or iSlii tons of Tobacco, and 3!)_ tons of Cigars; while the Victorian returns for IM.I show that the quantity of manufactured Tobacco imported into that Colony during the year was i.3on.SS9lbs., and of unmanufactured leaf, 369,G571b5, ~ , 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 abova what will be required for local consumption. Several manufactories of Tobacco and Cigars have been establishedintheColoniesof Victoria and New South Wales, but up to the present time no manufactory Ims been established in New Zealand, and tho Company will not havo tlio disadvantage of competing with others. The Company will be able to sell Tobacco and Cigars at n higlily 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 tlio public who are smokers cannot be too highly rated The total number cf farmers now contracting is sixty-nine, while the acreage under cultivation exceeds six hundred. It is intended that tho Company shall tako ovor tho contracts which have been made in anticipation of tho formation of tho Company. The Company ls offering prices of from flvc ponce to eightpence per lb. for tho largo varie ties ; up to tenpenco for Havana raw leaf. The Promoters beg to call the attention of in tending investors to the fact that they havo no intention of buying land, or otherwise expend ing money, except for furnishing farmers with the necessary quantities of superior seed, and otherwise putting them in tho way of pro ducing and harvesting the leaf. Tho 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 itself strongly to nil New Zealand farmers, mer chants, and others interested in tho advance and prosperity of tho Colony. Apart from the consideration of actual profit to those concerned in the undertaking, great good must Indisputably accrue to the Colony by the iutroduotlon of an industry which will tend to keep in this oountry the large amount of money which is annually sort abroad for the purchaso of the imported article.
