The New Zealand Iron and Stebi. Com pany, Limited, is organised to manufacture Bar and Pig Iron and wire from tho iron sand doposits of tho West Coast, by means of the patents owned by Mossrs John Chambors and G, H. Gardner. Tho practicability of those patents having boon fully proved by tho. works at proßentin oporation at Onehunga, thero romain but two points to be considered—viz., tho soat of manu facturing and tho market for tho product. I THE COST. In estimating tho comparative cost et manu facturing iron hero and in England there aro threo items to be considered, viz: labour, cool, and raw material. The raw material Is almost a nominal cost to us. The coal will cost no more here than In England, for It is Intended to use only gas for all heating purposes in tho worka, which can bo produced by moans of gas generators from slack or any brown coal at a far lower cost than the same amount of heat can bo obtained from burning coal. Labour is then the only item which will cost more here than in England, and we have to consider what advantage wo possess to counterbalance this greater cost. These advantages oonsist (Ist) in situation, by which we save 10 per oent. on tho Homo coat which is absorbed In commission, insurance, exchange and interest, and outward freight, as the freight from A uckland or Onehunga to dif ferent places in the Colony will be nomorothan the charges in England in bringing tho iron from tho mills by rail and cartage ana shipping ohargeß in London; (2nd) in our process, by whioh we save cost of fouling (or wrought iron serapi, which in puddling from pig has to bo put into the f urnaco, and the cost of making the pig and the waste of tho same in puddling. This Is a most Important item in our favour, and would bo alono sufficient to counterbalance the gren'cr cost of labour, for by the patents undor which this Company will work, tho same result is obtained from iron sand as is obtained from pig iron, thus saving the expense of making tho pig. Tho difforenco in cost tictweon pig Iron in England, suitable for making good bar iron, and iron sand at Onehunga being folly 353 per ton In our favour. If, thon, we take the amount of saving which wo have by our process and situation to counter balance tho greater cost of wogos in this Colony.iwo have i— Ist —10 per oent. on tho Homo cost—say £7.. IV 2nd-Sttvlnginfroight ... .. - .. SW 3rd-Saving of fettling „ .. - - W ith—Saving of cost ot making tho pig ~ 35/ 6th— Saving of manufacturers profits .... 7/ 81/ Tho total cost of labour in manufactarlng pig iron into finished bars in Knpland 9 under 35s per ton, so that if tho cost of labour hore ia oren as high as 603 thoro remains a largo margin of profit. It is estimated that tho total cost ot tho best finished bar iron al Onohunga will bo un der £6 per ton. THE MARKET. Tho production of cheap iron opons bo largo a field of industry that it Is impossible to estimate the future of this trade. It Is an undoubted foot that bar Iron oan be made from iron sand more cheaply than from any other ore. The supply of raw material is unlimited, and New Zealand should bocomo ono of the largost Iron producing countries in tho world. The many branohes ot manufacture, of which cheap iron is tho prime essential, will no doubt spring into life now that both iron and coal may bo obtained in New Zealand, and with the supply bo will the demand inoreoso. The amount of Iron imported Into Australasia in 1882 was as foUowa ;- Australia Now Zealand. Tl. Tons. Tons. Bar Iron .. .. 44,500 0.230 63.750 FenolngWire _ 10,000 9.600 49,600 Galvanised Iron.. 37,080 B,'Oo 45.080 Pig Iron .. .. 24,500 4,0 0 28 500 Plate Iron- .. 8,250 1,000 10,250 Wiro Nails - 6,750 8,750 0 500 Hoop Iron.. .. 3,750 &50 4.G00 Sheot Iron.. .. 3,500 600 4,108 These figures do not, Includo Tasmania or West Australia. Tho present cost of South Staffordshire Iron, which Is universally used in theso colonies, is hi 10s. f.0.b., London, costing delivery in New Zealand about £3 10s, whioh is one of the lowest prlciis for many years, owing to tho depression of the iron industries In England. Auokland Iron at £8, f.0.b., would thus keep out tho imported iron, and leave a large profit to tho manufacturers. It Is also proposed to manufacture the Iron Into a few articles which are largely used, such as fencing standards, fish plates, railway spikes, &c, &0., on which a larger profit oan be made. Fenolng standards cost in tho South Island about £11 per ton, and are used to tho oxtont of over 3000 tons per annum, and in other lines large quantities oan be sold at better profits than can be made on bar Iron. Fencing wire being protected by a duty of £1 per ton, and by a large cost of importing, offors a profitable field of industry; and it Is proposed to add this line to tho products of the Company as soon as the above operations are at work. Tho slag from the puddling furnaces, if it con tains a sufficiently high percentage of iron; will bo smelted in an ordinary blast furnace, and run Into pig iron, thus utilising all tho waste products. Sydney and Melbourne will take a largo quantity of Iron from us, hb low freights aro easily obtained to those oolonies. It is expected that New Zoaland iron can bo sent to England and tho United States at very profitable pricos, as the iron mado from sand in the United States by this prooosi is found to be of so superior a quality for making high-priood steel that the whole of it is con sumed by that branch of industry, and tho frico paid would yield us a large profit, ndia, China, Japan, and Ban .Francisco open Holds for exportation, whioh we may shortly hope to compete for, as our location 1b incut favourable for thorn as a basis of supplies, and at certain seasons of the year freight can be had at a meiely rate; and a speedy enlargement of tho works, as tho requirements of tho trade may demand, i 3 provided for in tho 28,000 unallotted shares. These Bharoa, when allotted, will bo oll'orert to the stockholders at par in proportion to the shares hold. This Company will take over the concessions obtained by Messrs Chambers and Gardner, consisting of 1000 aores of land, and four miles of foreshore on tho North Hoad and two miles of foreshore on tho South Head of Mantikau Harbour, and throo miles of forephoro at Tara naki, which will supply all tho iron Band neces sary for many years to come. No other placo on tho west coast offers such facilities for cheap coal and ready transportation of tho flnishod product as Onehunga; as, from its location wo can ship from either tho Bast or West Coasts, and from the North Head tho sand oan be put into barges at any state of the tide or weather, without going ontsido the Heads, and brought to our own wimrf. These considerations mako these concessions particularly valuable, while the loase at Tara naki will be available for the manufacture of charcoal iron, as a good quality of charcoal can be obtained in that district atareasonable price. The New Zealand Government has offered a bonus of £1,000 for tho first 200 tons ot wrought iron blooms,and an additional JBI.OOOf or the first 200 tons of pig iron, manufactured from iron sand, whioh th& Company will secure. The patents owned by Messrs Chambers and Gardner are so essential to the manufacture of iron by the direct process, that it Is impossible to manufacture iron from iron sand in payable Suantltieß without thorn, thus Beourlng to the lompony a virtual monopoly. Of the first allotment ot shares, Messrs Cham bers and Gardner will receive for their New Zealand patents 3,000 shares paid-up to £i, and in future allotments of chares up to 40,000 in all, 25 per cent, of such allotments paid up to £4. 9,000 shares are at present offered to the public, payable as follows:—10s on application, 10s on allotment, and 20s at intervals of 3, 6, and 9 months, the remaining 20s at an interval of not lees than three months after the lost call, but it is not anticipated that it will be necessary to call up more than M per share. In view of the many advantages we possess— a large and constantly growing market at our doors, and separated by so many miles from its present base of supplies, a praotfcally unlimited supply of iron sand, suitable coal at a low prioe close at hand, and the cheapness of our working -wo have no hesitation in offering the shares of this Company as one of the safest and most profitable investments whiQh has ever been
