Secretary, pro tern.i J. C. Berger. Tmc object of this Company Is to provide ton nage suitable to the growing trade of the Port of Auckland, so that tho imports and exports of our city may bo as much as possible carried in locally-owned vessels, and the Bhipplng business carried on by a purely local com pany. Tho rates of freights current in this colony compare most favourably with those ruling in neighbouring colonies, and are, as a rule, sufficiently remunerative to leave a good profit, trading hence either foreign or intercolonial, Tho acknowledged daily increasing commer cial importance of Auckland is a source of gratification, and tho shipping trade, under skilful management and with sufficient, capital, would meet with speedy and great develop ment with many parts of tho World with whloh we aro at present not in absolutely direct com munication. The object of this Company is to provide ves sels to trade in tho directions already opened, and others whloh may from time to time offer inducements. There Is ample room for a well-organised new line between Auckland and London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, with New York, and with some of the larger centres of Continental European trado. Of course, tho large and increasing export of bulk and sawn timber will form an Important adjunct. A trade with Tasmania, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, &o„ being al ready established, could easily bo continued with regularity, whilst tho Newcastle and Grey mouth coal trades should be also provided for. Thero Is a vast Held in prospective for a good trado with America, Mauritius, China, Manilla, Calcutta, the Cape, Noumea, arid numerous foreign ports, with some of which, even at the presont moment, a profitable direct trade is boing carried on in a desultory manner, and which would find support from the new in dustries latoly established here and in prospec tive establishment, Tho Company do not propose to limit them solves to running thoir own veasels, but will from timo to time charter vessels when re quired, in the ovent of their own not being immediately available. Messrs Stono Brothers, who have for some timo carried on a good Bhipping business, and who have now fairly started a now London line, possess the nucleus of a fleet suitable for com mencing operations, and arrangements have been made to take over their vessels and the good-will of their shipping business for tho sum of thirty thousand Bix hundred and fifty pounds (£30,050), they taking half the amount in Com pany's shares. Their fleet, oonslstlmr. of, 8 vessola, with aggregate tonnage of 2642 tons, should be augmented as soon as possible, so that tho business may be extended without delay, especially tho London and Amerioan branches. The aervloes ot Mr O. B. Stone, as managing direotor, and tho staff at present under his control, who are experienced in this line of business, have been secured to take office under tho now Company. It is further proposed that the working ex penses should bo conducted on striotly economi cal principles, the expense of agenoios and branches to be defrayed out of commissions on tho aotual freights earned by those branches. Tho proposed capital is act down at £150,000, but as only a small portion is required at present for tho purchase of tho existing fleet and con tingent oxponses, further capital will not be called up until vessels suitable for tho London and othor trades may offer for sale at reasonable prices, until whloh timo it is proposed to charter vessels as required to supplement tho present fleet. It is proposed to Invite all Auckland business men and all who may have any interest in tho trade of our port to take Shares in this local Company, and to give the undertaking every possible support. The Company would thus be in a measure self-supporting, and strong enough to compote most successfully with any outside or foreign company or foreign shipping. The Company could then not fall to be a credit to our port, and a most luorative investment to Shareholders. The promoters having overy confidence In the success of tho undertaking, now appeal to the publlo to Insure it by subscribing freely for shares.
