This Company la being formed for tho purposo of encouraging the Crowth of, and for llanufac turing. Tobacco in tlic Colony of Now Zealand. Various experiments havo proved that the cliiiiiilocii1 New Zoalaml is peculiarly adapted to tlia growth of Tobacco, and that in tho Auck land Provincial liislrict, the bi.-st Havana leaf can lie grown, and all Unit is required to start a must importantandremunerative local industry is a uu/llcioiit amount of capital. The Colonial TndiistricsCoiiiinission marta tbc followiiiK royort on tin; i2Ui day of Marsh, 1S80:— ACiKICULTUKAL PHODUCI'S.—TOBACCO. "The most Important agricultural industry which has been bronchi, under the notice of tile Couiniis.sion la undoubtedly the cultivation of Tobacco for maauiac.luring purposes. The evidence established the fact Unit any quantity • of Tobacco, equal in quality to the linost Ajnoriuan, can be frown in New Zealand, and Hint there is no roasnn wliy tlio whole of Uio Tohacuo consumed in the Colouy should not ultimately bu produced and manufactured in it. This industry would a/lbrd profitable employment to cottage farmors, ako to women and ollildren who would bo engaged in manufacturing, and would utilize largo 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 unco established, thesame amount of rcvunuo that is now raised by tho Customs duly on imported Tobacco could be raised by means of Stamps on tho locally pro duced Tobacco." Tii.' llnal report of the Colonial Industries and Tarill1 Coniminrfion, laid beTon) the lluu.se uf Reprcsenlaivesun the sth of September, ISSI, on the cull uro and manufacture of Tobacco, was as follows:— "That in order to encourage the growth and manufacture of Tobacco in New Zealand, yo>ir Cominiituo recoinmond that the duty on Tobacco grown within the Colony, sliould bo reduced to One Shilling per lb. for a period of not less than live years." In accordance wilh such recommendation, the following section was inserted into mi Act of the year ISSI, entitled "An Act to Alter the Dul ic3'of Customs and Kxolsa." :— •' In lieu of the bonus spccilicd in section 12 of tho 'Tobacco Act. lS7!l."tiie following provisions shall take eti'ect on and after the passing of this Act, namely— TllO duly on Tobacco manu factured iii tbo Colony shall lie One SkUlinfi inr round, and this rate of duty shall remain in force until the 31st day of December, life*." The present duty on imported Tobacco is Throe KhilliiiL'i) and Sixpence per lb, and on Cigars, Six Shillings. It U estimated that about two tons of To bacco can be obtained from three acres of good land, and numbers of fanners havo expressed their willingness to enter into contracts for the growth of Tobacco at prices varying from flvo ponce lo tenpence por lb. tor all sound leaf ac cording to Quality. Tin.1 Cuslimi n-iui-ns for tho year 1532 Rhow that duty was paid in New Zealand, during that vcar, un'l,oS'J..Y,;>lbs. fif Tobacco, and88,07211)8. of Cigars or ISlii tons of Tobacco, and 303 tons of Cigars; while the Victorian ret urns for ISBI show that the quant it yoinianufiictm-cdTobacxio imported into that Colony during the year was l.:ni!i.."!fUbs., and of unmanufactured leaf, Tho mi,'r|:c* for Tobacco outside the Colonies Is (tlmoiit unlimited, and no ditllculty will be found in adTuntaueously disposing of any snr plus amount tV.nt may be grown onirand ibov« what will be reqiilred for local consumption. SeTcral manufactories of Tobacco and Cigars havobi-en established in the (,'oloniesof Viotorla mil. New .south Wales, but up to the present timo no manufactory has beun established in sow Zealand, ami the Company will not havo the disadrantago of competing with others. Tho Company will bo able to sell Tobacco and Cigars at a highly remunerative price to them selves for much less than even the present duty on imported Tobacco, so that tbc lmmonse ad- Tiuilapfo of the development of this industry to the public who aro smokers cannot bo too highly rated The total number of farmors now contracting is sixty-nine, whtlo tlip acro.igo under cultivation exceeds six hundred. It is intended that the Company ehall t4iko over tho contracts which have been made in anticipation of the formation of the Company. The Company is offorlnfe prices of from five pence to nightpence per lb. tor the largo varie ties ; up to tenpence for Havana raw leaf. The Promotors 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. The Company are prepared to become purchasers of their crops at a price remunerative both to tho growor and the Company as manufacturers. The present enterprise should recommend itself strongly to all Now Zealand farmers, mor ohants, and others interested in tho advance and prosperity of tho Colony. Apart from the consideration of actual prollt to tboso concerned in the undertaking, great good must indisputably gceruo to the Colony by the iutroduction of an industry which will tend to keep in this oountry tbo large amount of monoy which is annually sent abroad for the purchaso of the imported H'ticlo.
