THE rapidly-increasing importance of the mercantile interests in the group of islands comprised in the Kingdom of Fiji, and the absence of any reliable medium of exchange in that territory, have suggested the formation of this Company, which, it is intended , shall supply ordinary Banking facilities and undertake comm«rcial agency business, by indenting goods, advancing on the produce of settlers, and undertaking consignments. Notwithstanding the difficulties which the early settlers in these Islands have encountered, the progret-s made in the development of Commerce has beeu very satisfactory — the returns of exports and imports exhibiting rapid expansion. The capabilities of the Islands for sugar and cotton cultivation are of the very highest description, an ', with the introduction of capital and the means afforded to planters to turn their produce to account, there can be no doubt that the above interests will be very speedily and largely increased. Already tracts of country have been secured by planters from other sugarproducing countries, the climate and soil of Fiji offering superior advantages. The European population ia already considerable, and rapidly increasing ; and the general dt-sire to support law and order, and the partial rr-cognition of the Government by Great Britain, afford a reasonable ground for believing that transactions in Fiji may be undertaken with safety, and with the same recourse as in more settled communities. Important concessions, including on exclusive right to issue bank Dotes, and to transact all Government business, are under offer to the Company; and from data furnished to the promoters, it is believed that a very satisfactory return on the capital to be invested will be ensured. The scope of the Company's operations will not be confined to Fiji, but will embrace the numerous groups of islands in the Pacific, as encouragement may from time to time offer. L; is believed that a paid-up Capital of £50,000 will, for a time, amply provide for the current requirements of the Company, the unpaid Capital remaining as a basis for credit with its Agents A further issue of shares will be mude as required, on terms to be settled by the Board of Directors, Of the £2 10/ to be called up on the First Issue of shares, a deposit of 10/ per share will be required on application and a like amount on allotment. Subsequent calls will be made as required, not exceeding £1 per share, with a notice of not less than one month. No promoters' or paid-up shares will be issued, and the preliminary expenses are guaranteed not to exceed £1,000. Applications for shares — accompanied by a deposit of 10/ per share — will be received by the Bank of New Zealand, Nelson, up to the Ist September next, a preference being given to priority of application. In event of no allotment being made, the deposit will be returned in full. Forms of application for shares can be obtained at the Bank oi New Zealand, Nelson. Auckland, July 4, 1873. 1862
