This Company is being formed for the nurposo • of encouraging the Growth of, and forManitfae- ( : i turing, Tobacco in the Colony of New Zealtod. " Various experiments have proved that,tho climate of New Zealand is peculiarly adapted «to the growth of Tobacco, and that in the Auck- . land Provincial District tho 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. The Colonial Industries Commission mado tho . following report on tho 12tli day of March, 1880:— AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.-TOBACCO. ' "The most important agricultural industry which has been brought under tho notice of (ho Commission is undoubtedly tho cultivation of Tobacco for manufacturing purposes. Tho evidence established the fact that ~ny quantity of Tobacco, equal in quality .f tho fluent American, can bo grown in Now Zealand, and , that there is no reason why the whole ol the Tobacco consumed in - the Colony should not ultimately bo produced anil manufactured in it. This industry would afford profitable employment to cottajjo ; farmers, also to women and children who would bo engaged in manufacturing, nnd t '' would utilize large tracts of land, which at pre sent are cither waste or yielding but little, &c. "The Commission aro assured that aftor flvoi . or six years cultivation and manufacture, Tobacco could be produced in New Zoalai"' .....-~r equal in quality to any that is now import; and that tne industry once established, the sni amount of revenue that is now raised by t Customs duty onl mported Tobacco could raised by means of stamps on the locally p duced Tobacco." | The final report of the Colonial Industries c Tariff Commission, laid before tho House Representatives on the sth of September, If N I on the culture and manufacture of Tobac was as follows:— "That in order to encourage tho growth a 1 manufacture of Tobacco in Now Zealand, your Committee recommend that the "inty on Tobacco grown within the Colony, should bo "reduced to One Shilling perlb. for a period of not less than five years. . In accordance with such recommendation, ' ■ ' I the following section was inserted into an Act of tho year 1881, entitled "An Act to Altorthe Duties of Customs and Excise." :— " In lieu of the bonus specified in section 12 of tho ' Tobacco Act 1879," tho following provisions shall take effect on and af t«r the passing of this Act, namely—The duty on Tobacco manu factured in the Colony shall be One Shillina per found, and this rate of duty shall remain in force until the Slst day of December, 1888." The present duty on imported Tobacco is Three Shillings and Sixpence per lb, and on Cigars -*r — Six Shillings. ' . , It is estimated that about two tons of To bacco can be obtainod from three uores of good ' * -: land, and numbers of farmers havo expressed ' their •willingness to enter into contracts for the growth'of Tobacco at prices varying from flvo pence to tenpence per lb. for all sound loaf ac cording to quality. The Custom roturns for tho year 1882 show '■■.&■ that duty was paid in Now Zealand, during that ■ ■ year, on 1,080,5751b5. of Tobacco, and 88,9721b5. of lj Cigars, or 4803 tons of Tobacco, and 333 tons of jA Cigars; while the Victorian returns for ls-81 jt- Bhowthatthoquantityofnianufacturcd Tobacco /?: imported into that Colony during the year was iffik": 1.309,5391b5., and of unmanufactured leaf/ ' 369.6571b5. '■ ,' ::> - The markot for Tobacco outside tho Coloftiea is almost unlimited, and no difficulty will ho found in advantageously disposing of any enr plus amount that may be growU over and above what will be required for local consumption. -fef Several manufactories of Tobacco and Cigars haveboenestablißhodintheColonlesofVictorii ' ' -i and Now South Wales, but up to the present' ■'•■ time no manufactory has been established in ■ " New Zealand, and the'Ciimpany will not havo ;. thadisadvantOKe of computing with othere. The Company will be able to sell Tobacco and Cigara at a highly remunerative prico to theai- ' ' !■* solves for much Ices than even the present duty '." on imported Tobacco, so that the immense :iu vantaeo of the development of this industry to i tho puulio who are smokers cannot be too highly ■ rated ■ Tho total number of farmers now contracting is sixty-nino, while the acreage under cultivation exceeds bis Iniiid).,-!. it; ia intended that tho Company shaH take over tho contracts which have been mado in anticipation of the formation of .' tho Company. * • 1 The Company ia offering prices of from five- i pence to cightpence per lb. for tho large vario- s ties; up to tonpenco for liavaua raw Irat ; Tho Promoters beg to call tho attention of In- !' tending investors to the fact that they havo no intention of buying land, or ofliorwisc expend ing money, except for furnishing farmers with ,' i the necessary quantities of superior seed, und Otherwise putting them in tho Wlty of pro ducing and harvesting the leaf.
