Bergor. 1 The object of this Company is to provide ton nage Buitablo to the growing trade of the Port of Auckland, so that the imports and exports of our oity may bo as much as possible carried in LOCALLY-OWNED VESSELS, and the shipping I, business carried on by a purely LOCAL COM PANY. The rates of freights current In this colony coin pare most favourably with those ruling in neighbouring oolonies, and are, as a rule, , sufficiently remunerative to leavo a good profit, trading hence either foreign or Intercolonial, The acknowledged daily Increasing commer cial Importance of Auckland Is a source of gratification, and the shipping trade, under 1 skilful management and with sufficient capital, would meet with speedy and great develop ment with many parts of the World with whion wo are at present not in absolutely direct com ' municatlon. The objcot of this Company is to provide ves-i sols to trade in the directions already opened, and others which may from time to time offer! • inducements. There is ample room for a well-organised new lino between Auckland and London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, with New York, and with some of the larger contros of Continental European I trade. Of course, the large and increasing export of bulk and sawn timber will, form an important adjunct. A trade with Tasmania, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, &o„ being al- I ready established, could easily be continued . with regularity, whilst the Newcastle and Grey- J mouth coal trados should be also provided for. . -There is a vast field in prospective for a good trade with America, Mauritius, China, Manilla, Calcutta, the Cape, Noumea, and numerous foreign ports, with some of whloh, even at the present moment, a profitable dlreot trade is being carried on in a desultory manner, and whloh would find support from the new in dustrio_ lately established hore and in prospec tive establishment. The Company do not propose to limit them selves to running their own vessels, but will from timo to tlmo charter vessels when re quired, in the event of their own not being immediately available. Mossrs Stono Brothers, who have for some time carried on a good shipping business, and who have no w fairly star ted a no w London line, possess the nucleus of a fleet suitable for com -1 monclng operations, and arrangements have boon mado to take over their vessels and the good-will of their shipping business for the sum of tlilrty thousand six hundred and fifty pounds (£30,650), they taking half the amount in Com pany's shares. Their fleet, consisting of 8 , vosaols, with aggregate tonnage of 2612 tons, should bo augmented as soon as possible, so that the business may be extended without delay, especially the London and American branches. Tho services of Mr C. B. Stone, as managing ' director, and the staff at present under his' control, who are experienced In this line of business, hnve been secured to take offloo under tho new Company. It is further propOßod that the working cx i penses should bo conduoted on striotiy economi cal principles, the expense of agencies and bronchos to bo defrayed out of commissions on i tho actual freights earned by those branches. The proposed capital is set down at £160,000, 1 but as only a small portion is required at present ' for tho purchaso of the existing fleot and con -1 tingint expenses, further capital will not be 1 callod up until vessols suitable for the London 1 and other trades may offer for sale atreasonabie prioes, until whioh time It is proposed to charter , vessels as required to supplement the present 1 fleot. It is proposed to invito all Auckland business- I men and all who may have any interest in the trado 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 oompete most successfully with any outside or foreign company or foreign shipping. The ■ Company could then not fall to bo a oredlt to our port, and a most lucrative lnvestmont to Shareholders. The promoters having every confidence In the success of the undertaking, now appeal to the public to insure it by subscribing freely for [ Shares. r LIST OP VESSELS. B^fer.
