Berger.v, The object of this Company is to .provide tonnage snitable to the growing trade of the Port of Auckland; ao that the imports and exports of our city may be as much as possible carried in locally ownkd vessels, and tho shipping business earned on by a purely LOCAL COMPANY. The rates of freights current in this colony compare' most favourably with those ruling in . neighbouring colonies, and are as a rale sufficiently remunerative to leave a good profit, trading hence either foreign or intercolonial. i < The acknowledged daily increasing commercial imr port&nce of Auckland la a source of gratification,"and 1 the shipping trade, under skilful management, and with sufficient capital, would meet with "speedy and great development with many parts of the World with 1 which we are at present not in !i absolutely direct * communication. ' The object of this Company Is to proride vessels to trade in the directions already opened, and others which may from time to time offer inducements. There is ample room for a well*organtsed new line? between Auckland and London,: Liverpool-< and . Glasgow, with New York, and with some of the larger centres of Continental European. trade. . Of courso, the large and increasing export of balk "and sawn » timber will form an importaut adjunct.-' A .trade with Tasmania, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, &c.> being already established, could easily be continued with regularity, whilst the Newcastle and Greymouth> coal trades should be also provided for. ' There is a vast field in prospective for a good trade with America, Mauritius, China, Manila, Calcutta, ■ the Cape, Noumea, and numerous foreign ports, with some of which, even at the present moment, a profitable direct trade is being carried on in a desultory l manner, and which would find support from the new: industries lately established here and in prospective establishment. The Company do not propose to limit. themselves to running their own vessels, but will frotn time to time chaiter vessels when xcquired, in the event of their own not being immediately available Messrs. Stone Bros., who havo for some time carried on a good shipping business, and who havo now fairly started a now London lino, possess tho nucleus of alleot-. suitable for commencing operations, and arrangements : have been mado to take over their vessels and the (rood-, will of their shipping business for the thousand six hundred and fifty pounds (£3O-650;, they taking half the amount in Company's shares.* Their: fleet, consisting of 8 vessels, with aggregate tonnngo of 2642 tons, should be augmented as soon as possible, so ; that the business may be extended without l delays especially the London and Amenc m branches:' r The services of Mr. C. B. Stono. as tnanaging dircctor, and the staff at present under , his control; who are experienced in this line of busine**; .have'been. secured to take office under tho new Company. >;•> • It is further proposed that the working expenses should be conducted on strictly economical principles, the expense of a?encles and branches..to..bo defrayed' out of commissions on the actual freights earned by : those branches. , The proposed capital is set down at £150,000; but asonly a small portion is required at present for. the purchase of the existing fleet and contingent expanses, ftxrther capital will not be callod up until'.vessels 7 suitable for the London and other trades may offer for sale at reasonablo prices,-until which,time It'is. proposed to charter vessels as required to supplement the present fleet. It is proposed to Invite all Auckland businecs-men 1 ' and all who may have any interest in the trade of our ' port to take Shares in this local Company,-and to give. : the undertaking every possible suppbrt;:,;Tho Com-.-pany would thus be in a measure • self-supporting," . and strong enough to compete most successfully with = any outside or foreign company or foreign shipping. > The Company could then not fail to be a credit-to-: our port, and a most lucrative investment to Shareholders. The promoters having every confidence in the success of the undertaking, now appeal to tho public to Insuro it by subscribing freely for/ Shares: . ....V, LIST OF,.VESSELS, Tons, ' .Register. ■ Lairs, Iron Barque V.V; ; r .. . i-. 402- 1 Alcestis, Iron Barque^:s-V.. . 3QB Stanley, Wooden Brlgantine 1, 351; 1 Parnell, Wooden Brigantine i34S : Caborfeldh, Wooden Barque ... ... 333:'" Peerless, Wooden Brl'antlne .i 202 Bella Mary, Wooden Barque ... .. 244 .., Energy, Wooden Three-masted Schoonor 185 - - 2342 An ortract from the Books of Messrs. ?torio Bros' ; shows that 7 vessels of the value of £25,000 yielded an 7 % average monthly profit of £530, equal: to £0300 por : annum, exclusive of oharge for Insurance on Hulls.'.
