This Company is formed for the purpose of facilitating and promoting the export of Meat, Dairy, and Agricultural Produce of this Colony, and of all kinds of produce from the South Seas. The Company intend to do the export business for the public entirely as agents, and on agency terms, but it will be prepared, if such business is not offered, to undertake it as principals. The question of the Meat supply to Europe is one of the most important of the present day, and is exciting great attention. The consumption of animal food throughout the Old World is increas- j ing, through the higher wages earned by the masses since the growth of manufactures, and the consequent increase and distribution of wealth. In 1870 the total value of the meat imported into the United Kingdom was £7,708,000 ; but in 1880 had grown to upwards of £26,000,000 This scarcity of meat has been partially relieved by the supply from America, but lately the rising price there has caused a falling off of the supply from that source. The application of science to meatpreserving has opened up to New Zealand this new and vast market for its produce, and the prospect which is thus opened to the colonists is most encouraging, and must • add greatly to the wealth and commerce of this country. Mr Joseph Banks, Managing Director of Fisher and Co., has taken a very large interest in this Company, and, to secure bis services and the knowledge and experience gained by an established and successful concern, the Directors have purchased the extensive Meat Preserving, Butchering, and Export business of Fisher and Co. (Limited), with all their Freehold and Leasehold Estates, Plant, Book Debts, Live and Dead Stock. The Directors intend to continue the business now carried on by Fisher and Co., and to largely extend their operations. The Directors have also purchased, at public auction from the Auckland Harbour Board, the finest site in New Zealand for the purposes of the Company. They propose erecting immediately upon this site a first-class plant for freezing meat for export, chilled chambers for a Dead Meat Market, and General Export Stores. This site is situated at the Railway Terminus, and the Works to be constructed by agreement between the Harbour Board and the Company will be connected with the railway by a line of rails, and be on the finest deep-water wharf in Auckland, where ships drawing 25 feet of water can come alongside and Load a Cargo of Frozen Meat in 48 hours. The Works will be commenced forthwith, and the Directors believe that within twelve months they will have their Freezing Plant, Meat Stores, Market and Export Stores ready for use. The DEAD MEAT STORE and MARKET will have a capacity sufficient to store a cargo for the largest ship, and also to provide storage for the local wants of Auckland. It is believed when these capacious dulled Stores arc ready they will be used by Stock-owners, not only as a depot for the Moat cargoes intended for Shipment, but also as the Depository for the stock they have for sale, and by the Butchers as a Reserve Store for their meat until required to meet the daily wants of their Retail Business. The Butchers, and through them, every.householder in and around Auckland, will be 1 largely beudittod by Raving a constant
