Broker: Brokers' Association. Secretary Pro Tan. : Fredk. Nutter. This Company is being formed for the purpose of encouraging the Growth of, and for Manufa cturing. Tobacco in tho Colony of New Zealand. Various experiments have proved that the climato of New Zealand is peculiarly adapted to the growth of Tobacco, and that in the Auck land Provincial District the best Havana leaf can be grown, and all that is required to start a most important and remunerative local industry is a sufficient amount of capital. Tho Colonial Industries Commission made the following report on tho i2th day of March, AG RICULTUHAL PnODUCTS.-TOBACCO. "The most important agricultural industry which has been brought under the notice of the Commission is undoubtedly the cultivation of Tobacco for manufacturing purposes. Tho evidence established the fact that my quantity of Tobacco, equal in quality to tho finest American, can bo CTOwn in New Zealand, and that there is no reason why the whole of the Tobacco consumed in tho Colony should not ultimately bo produced and manufactured in it. This industry would afl'ord profitable employment to oottago farmers, also to women and children who would be engaged in manufacturing, and would utilize large tracts of laud, 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 once established, the same amount of revenue that is now raised by the Customs duty on. mportod Tobacco could be raised by means of stamps on the locally pro duced Tobacco." The final report of the Colonial Industries and Tariff Commission, laid before the House of Representatives on tho sth of September, 18S1, on the culture and manufacture of Tobacco, was as follows :— "That in order to encourage the growth and manufacture of Tobacco in New Zealand, your Committee recommend Unit the duty on Tobacco grown within the Colony, should be reduced to One Shilling per lb. tor a 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 specified in section 12 of the ' Tobacco Act. 187U," the following provisions shall take effect on and after tho passing of this Act, namely—The duty on Tobacco manu factured in tho Colony shall bo One Shilling per Found, and this rate of duty shall remain in force until the 31et day of December, 1886." Theprcsentduty on imported Tobacco is Three Shillings and Sixpence per lb, and on Clfjars, Six Shillings. It is estimated that about two tons of To bacco can be obtained from three acres of good land, and numbers of farmers havo expressed their willingness to enter into contracts for the growth of Tobacco at prices varying from ft ve penco to tenpence per lb. for all sound leaf ac cording to quality. Tho Custom returns for the year 1882 show that duty was paid in New Zealand, during that year, on 1,080.5751b5. of Tobacco, and 88,97211)8. of Cigars, or JS63 tons of Tobacco, and 393 tons of Cigars; while the "Victorian returns for 1881 show that tho quantity of manufactured Tobacco imported into that Colony during the year was 1.309,5391b5., and of unmanufactured lea/, 369.0571b5. The markot for Tobacco outside tho Colonies Is almost unlimited, and no difficulty will bo fownd in advantageously disposing of any sur plus amount that may be grown over and above what will be required for local consumption. Several manufactories of Tobacco and Cigars haTe been established in the Colonies of Victoria ajud New South Walos, but up to the present time no manufactory has been established in Now Zealand, and the Company will not have the disadvantage of competing with others. The Company will be ablo to soil Tobacco and Cigars at a nighly remunoratlro price to them selves for much less than even the prosont duty on imported Tobacco, so that tho immense ad rantago of the development of this industry to tho public who arc smokers cannot be too highly rated The total numbor of farmers now contracting is sixty-nine, while tho aereago under cultivation exceeds six hundred. It is intended that tho Company shall tako over tho contracts which have been made in anticipation of tho formation of tho Company. The Company is offering pricos of from five pence to cightpenco per lb. for the large varie ties ; up to tenpence for Havana raw leaf. The Promoters 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 farmors with the necessary quantities of superior seed, and otherwise putting them in the way of pro ducing and harvesting the leaf. The Company are prepared to become purchasers of their crops at a price remunerative both to the grower and the Company as manufacturers. The present enterprise should recommend itself strongly to all New Zealand farmers, mer chants, and others interested in the advance and prosperity of the Colony. Apart from the consideration of actual profit to those concerned in the undertaking, greatgood must indisputably accrue to the Colony by the iutroduction of an industry which will tend to keep in this country the large amount of money which is annually sent abroad for tho purchase of the imported article.
