HE NEW ZEALAND SHIPPING COMPANY, Limited (Incorporated under the Joint Stock Comj panics Acts). OAPITAL, £250,000, in 25,000 SHARES of £10 EACH. Head Offices, Herefcrd street, Christchr/rch, London Oflices, India House, Alderman's Walk. Dikeotobs : J. L. Coster (Chairman) George Gould (Deputy-Chairman) William Reeves, M.H.R. Hon J. T. Peacock R. H. Rhodes, M.H.R. John Anderson Reginald Cobb Bankebs : The Bank of New Zealand Solioitobs : ! Messrs Ganick and Cowlisbaw The objectß of the Company are fco provide , increased facilities for fche New Zealand shipj ping trade, by the building, purchasing, or chartering of first-class vessels Buifcable for the trade of the colony. The whole of the original capital— £loo,ooo — was speedily subscribed for and allotted in the provinces of Canterbury, Otago, Wellington, and other parts of the colony. The fuilure of the A gent- Gen er si to obtain I reasonable terms in London for the conveyance to the colony of emigrants and cargo having enabled the Direotors to conclude a satisfactory contract with the Government in the colony for such service, it at once beoame necessary to largely increase the oapital of the Company, wifch the view of placing it in an undoubted position to perform the contract, and otherwise extend its operations. The Directors were strengthened in this view by the fact thafc the Otago Freight Association had already joined the' Company, thafc a large number of the late Wellington Association had become shareholders with them, and that a strong probability existed (since substantially realised) that the New Zealand (Auckland) Freight Company would also amalgamate. At a meeting of the shareholders held at Christchurch on the 20th June, it was decided to increaso the capital of the Company to £250,000, by the creation of 15,000 new shares of £10 each, to be issued at par, with all the privileges belonging to the first; issue, and to be allotted in the discretion of the Direotors. Already, in anticipation of this announcement, applications for a very large number of new shares have been received, thus affording further substantial proof of the confidence reposed by the public in the New Zealand Shipping Company. The success which has hitherto attended the efforts of fche promoters to establish a colonial Shipping Company on a basis sufficiently wide and strong to enable them to successfully oppose and check the powerful monopoly of Shaw, Savill, and Go, justifies the Directors in appealing with confidenco to the public for fcheir support;. The Directors would specially appeal to the wool and grain growers, and other producers, as well as to the mercantile community, whether importers or exporters, for their aid towards an undertaking which must conduce largely, both direotly and indirectly, to their benefit. It is not fche intention of the Directors to call up more than 50s a Bhare — of this amount 10s will be payablo on application, and the remainder afc intervals of not less than three months, in calls of 10s each i Applications for shares of the new issue will, pending the establishment of agencies of the Shipping Company at various points in tbe colony, be received up to 15th August next, afc the several offices of the Bank of New Zealand, where forms ef application can be obtained • or, afc the Head Offices of the Company, Hereford street, Ohristohurch, By order of the Board Direotors, JOSEPH GOULD, Seoretary.
