The object of the Company is the supply of wholesome Meat to shareholders andconmmers at lees than can be done by private establishments, FOR CASH, or guaranteed short accounts. The nominal capital of the Company is £1000, in 4000 shares of £1 each. 10s of which will only be called up. Arrangements will be made to secure suitable business premise' and an efficient manager. Credit will only be given to Shareholders, and only to the extent of the value of shares held, thus providing against the possibility of bad debts. The saving thus effected will, it is estimated, be sufficiently large to pay 10 per cent interest on capital invested, and a bonu» of 10 per cent to consumers ; and good wholesome Meat at a less price than can be done on the credit system. p o shareholder will be allowed to hold more than 100 shares. Above 1200 shares have already been disposed of. As soon as 2000 shares shall have been subscribed for, a meeting of shareholders will be held, and directors eh sen. Early application necessary, as business will be conimer ced with the new year. The 10s will be called up in monthy instalments of 2s 6d each. A list of shareholders can be seen at A. Dornwcll's . office, Queen street, from whom all furtherparticulars ' may be obtained ; also, the proposed rules of the Society.

A gentleman connected with the Wellington Co-operative Butchering and Cattle Dealing Society writes;—"lt will prove a great Buccess. and similar companies will eventually be established in all the large provincial towns Tee Secretary of the Company some time ago started a Co-operative Bread and Biscuit business on the above system, which ha 3 not only been the means of reducing the price of bread, but also ef making many of our old established men retire from business,
