This Company is being formed for the purpose of encouraging the Growth of, and for Manufac turing, Tobacco in the Colony of Now Zealand. Various experiments have proved that tlic climate bl New Zealand is peculiarly adapted to the growth of Tobacco, and that in the Auck land Provincial District the best Hava.ua loaf can be grown, and all that is required to start a most important and remunerative local industry is a sufficient amount of capital. The Colonial Industries Commission made tho following report on the i2th day of March, 1880:- AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.-TOBACCO. "The most Important agricultural industry which has been brought under tho notice of the Commission is undoubtedly the cultivation of Tobacco for manufacturing purposes. The evidence established the fact that any quantity of Tobaoco, oqual in quality to the finest American, can bo scrown in New Zealand, and that there is no reason why the whole of the Tobacco consumed in tho Colony should not ultimately be produced and manufactured in it. This industry would afford profitable employment to cottage farmers, also to women and children who would be engaged in manufacturing, and would utilizo large tracts of land, which at pre sent are either waste or yielding but IUU», &o. " Tho Commission are assured Vfcrtt aftor five or six years cultivation, ;>nd manufacture, Tobacco could be produced in Now Zealand, equal in quality to any that is now imported, and that the industry once established, thesamo amount of revenue that is now raised by the Customs duty on imported Tobacco oottld be raised by means of stamps on t\\o locally pro duced Tobacco." The final report of the Colonial Industries and Tariff Commission, laid beforo tho House of Representatives on tho sth of Septembor, 1881. on the culturo and manufacture of Tobacco, was as follows :— "That in order to encourage the growth and manufacture of Tobacco in New Zealand, your Committee recommend Uiat the duty on Tobacco grown within the Colony, should be reduced to One Shilling pcrlb, fovn period of not loss than five years. In accordance with such recommendation, the following section was inserted into an Act of the year 1881, entitled "An Act to Alter tho Duties of Customs and Excise." ;— " In lieu of the bonus spooLUcd in section 12 of the 'Tobacco Act, 1870," the following provisions shall take effect on and after the passing of this Act, namely—The duty on Tobacco manu factured jn the Colony slnill be One Shilling per y ound , and this rfUe of duty shall remain ;n force until the 31st day of December, 18SS." Thopreseut duty on imported Tobacco is Three Shillings and Slxponcc 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 irambers of farmers have expressed their willingness to enter into contracts for the growth of Tobacco at prices varying from flvc pence to tenponce per lb. for all sound l<;s£ ac cording to quality. The Custom returns for the year. Wft( show that duty wns paid in New ¥?a!snd, during that year, on 1,080.5751b5, of Tafocco, andSß.972lbs. of Cigars, or ISG3 tons of Tobacco, and 393 tons of Cigars; while the Victorian returns for IVBI1 VBl show that tho quantity of manufactured Tobacco imported into that Colony during the year was 1.309,5391b5, and of unmanufactured loaf, 36!).t!571b5. The market for Tobacco outsido *,s;s> Colonies is almost unlimited, and no, ditficulty will be found in advantageously disposing of any sur plus amount tlijt m«y be growu over and above what will bo ycouirou for local consumption. Several manufactories of Tobacco and Cigars have been established in the Colonies of Victoria and New South Wales, but up to the present time no manufactory hns been established in Now Zealand, and the Company will not have the disadvantage of competing with others., The Company will be able to scU Tftba^c* and Cigars at a highly remunerative, pvicc to thom selves for much less th&u. ,-.ycu flic present dut" on imported Tobacco, ii> quit tho immense ad vantage of thß development of this industry to the public who avc smokers cannot be too highly rated, The total number of farmers now contracting is sixty-nine, while the acreage under cultivation exceeds six hundred, it is intended that tho Company shall take over the contracts \\»!pk have been inu.de in anticipation c* *lie formation or the Company.
