Tim object of thiß Company Is to provide ton nage suitable to the ( rowing trade of the Port of Auckland, o that tlie imports and exports of our city may be as mn !i as possible carried in LOCALLY-OWNED VESSELS, and the shipping business carried on by a purely local com- The rates of freiglits current in this colony compare most favou kbly with those ruling in noitenbouring colonies, and are, as a rule, sufficiently romuneraiive to reave a good profit, trading hence either foreign or Intercolonial Tho acknowledged daily Increasing commer cial importance of Auckland is a source ot gratification, and tbe shipping trade, under skilful management and with sufficient capital, would meet with speedy and great develop ment with many parts of the World with whioh we are at present not in absolutely dlreot com munication. The objeot of thia Company Is to provide ves sols to trade in the directions already opei.ed, and others which may from time to tlmo offer Inducements. .... There la ample room for a well-organised new lino between Auckland and London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, with New York, and with some of tho larger centres of Continental European trade. Of course, the large and increasing axnart ot bulk and sawn timber will form an Important adiunot. A trade with Tasmania, i Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, &a, being al ready established, oould easily be continued wlthreaulariiy, whilst the Newcastle and Grey mouufaial trades should be also provided for. There is a vast field in prospective far a apod trade with America, Mauritius, China, Manflla, CalOUtta, tho Cape, Noumea, and numerous foreign ports, with some of which, even at the present moment, a profitable direot trade is being carried on in a desultory manner, and whioh would find aupport from the new In dustries lately established here and in prospeo tivo establishment. The Company do not propose to, llmtt them selves to running their own vessels, hut will from timo to time oharter vessels when re nulred in the event of their own not being immediately available. Messrs Stone Brothers, who have for some time carriod on a good shipping business, and who have now fairly started a new London lfte, noßsess the pupleus of a Jeot suitable for com menoing operations, and arrangements have been made to take over their vessels and the good-will of thoir shipping business for the sum of thirty thousand six hundred ana fifty pounds fi530,650), they taking half tho amount iv Com- SanyT shares. Their fleet, consisting df 8 vessels, with aggregate tonnage of 26fl tons, should bo augmented aa soon as possible so that tho business may be extended without delay espooially the London and American blTho services of Mr C. B. Stone, as managing director, and th.c staff, at present under his control who. are experienced in this Une of business, havo been secured to take office under It is further proposed that the working ejj nonses should bo conducted on Strictly economi cal principles, the exponse of agenoies and branchoo to be defrayed out of commissions on the actual froiprhts earned by those branohea. The proposed capital is sot down at J31&S0OO. but as only a small portion i» required at present for tho purchase of tho existing fleet and cor tingent oxpenses, furthor capital will not be milled ud until vessels suitable for the London and other trades may offer for sale at reasonable nrioes until which tame it Is proposed to oharter vessels as required to supplement tho present "Tub proposed to invite all Auckland business men and all who may have any interest in the trade of our port to tako Shares in this local Company, and to (rive the undertaking every nossible support. The Company would thus be In a measure oelf-supportin«r, and strong enough to compote moßt successfully with any outside or foreign company or foreign shipping. The Company could thon not fall to he a credrt to our port and a most luorativo investment to S^be promoters having every confldenco hi the success of tho undertaking,now.appeal to the public to insure it by subscribing freely for Shares.
