The increasing importance of Wellington and the surrounding district is creating ample room for the establishment of another financial institution. It is thoreforo determined to float the above Company, with tho following objects in view : — Ist. To assist persons desirous of acquiring property. 2nd. To utilize savings to the best advantage, by enabling persons to contribute according to their means, and by proper investment to secure the highest available rate of interest. 3rd. To enable persons desirous of borrowing on security of property, to do so at a fair rate of interest ana to provide an easy mode of liquidating the principal. 4th. By conditions of contributions for shares, and by various table, to provide moans for accumulating funds to meet any special requirement, such as endowment for children or provision for old age. The Company will bo essentially mutual in its operations, as its entire aim will be to promote the best interests of borrowers and lenders by becoming tho medium of businoss between them, and so secure a fair share of advantago to each. To the working man an opportunity will bs given to invest savings in the most advantageous manner possible. To the man of some small moans there will be a safe mode of realising the highest rate of interest for his monoy without any care or anxiety on his part as to the issue. To the oapitalist there is an opening for him to utilise some portion of his wealth in a useful and profitable manner. Tho want of such a Company as proposed is distinctly felt, even in these comparatively dull times. Tho schome, therefore, is launched with tho greatest assurance of success, as it must be admitted that the tendency will be for valuos to improve immediately the oloudof depression has passed away from the commercial world. As confidence returns, undertakings such as this will be carried forward on the succeeding wave of prosperity. EXPENSES OF MANAGEMENT.

The general prinoiple aimed at is— That tho interests 'of all ponoorned shall bo purely reciprocal ; the main features being — 1. To provide capital whereby residents and others will be enabled to acquire property, freehold or leasehold, in town or country, by means of easy periodical repayments which leave a reasonable margin of profit to the Company, while being amply protected in point of security. '; •- " 2. To enable persons possessed of land to erect buildings thereon, either by progress- | payments or in a lump -sum , repay ablo by inistalments, or at' the expiration of a fixed period of years. 3. To receivo deposits, and to afford a safe and profitable investment both for capitalists and during accumulation of smaller savings by others. 4. To grant loans tp members on the value lof their shares j and, generally, to encourage j in every possible way— consistent with sound security— members in the direction of thrift' and independence, by eriabling,'them' readily' to acquire property, and particularly 'to obtain a comforta'blo freehold home without incurring the exhorbitant charpos which so frequently attend private arrangements. 5. It must be obvious to every resident, and to evory observer of the extraordinary progress of those localities, that cthis Com- ¦ pany will provide for an absolute and urgent necessity which exists at the present time. 6. It is consequently believed that the residents, and the publio generally, will warmly welcome and support tho advent of such an institution, the first in the district. 7. _ Also, that thoy will appreciate the privilego of obtaining admission. as shareholders to a financial undertaking of this 'description, at ' the commencement of its operations, when no large sum representing paid-up shares, nor the usual heavy premium on such are required, as, owing to their success, is the case with most other financial Companies in the Colony now carrying on business. JB. The Directors will consider each application for shares on its merits, and will allot accordingly, but they reserve the right to refuse any allotment absolutely If they Bhall think fit.
