PRELIMINARY ANNONUCEMENT. NEW ZEALAND STEAM SHIPPING COMPANY (LIMITED). CAPITAL £150,000 In Shares of £10 each. Dibectobs : C. J. Harrison, Chairman Wm. Allen Joseph Burne John Martin Isaac Plimmer John Symons. It having become apparent that an extension of the Company is necessary, in order to keep pace with the growfng Colonial and Inter-Colonial trades, the Directors of the New Zealund Steam Shipping Company (Limited), in now seeking fche aid of the public to bring about the achievement of this objeot, point with confidence to the success which has hitherto marked their operations as a guarantee to intending shareholders that the prospect of a good investment held out to them i 8 a substantial and fair one. Unlike other Steam Companies now projected, the Company actually occupies the field with a fleet of steamers especially built for and adapted to the trade on the Coast of New Zealand, us well as the inter- colonial trade. They own the following vessels, viz :— Phoebe 416 tons register Tabanaki 299 „ „ Wellington 262 „ „ Ladybibd 285 „ „ Rangatiba 184 „ „ Manawattt 103 „ „ These steamers all in the best repair, and some of them equal in every respect to new ships, a sum of upwards of £40,000 having been laid out on them during the past six months. They represent the plantof the Company, together with a sailing collier (barque Anne and Jane), large hulk, freehold and leasehold premises in the best business situations in Wellington, engineer's and smith's workshop, together with large stocks of material neces sary for the working of the steamers, &o, &c. It is now proposed to raise the capital of the Company to £150,000, with power to increase it further. Immediately the neceaaary sanction of the present shareholders has been obtained in general meeting, and there will be no difficulty aa the present step is taken at their request, the proposed plan of extension will be definitely put before the public. The Directors of the Company are fully alire to the importance of keeping pace with the rapidly developing trade of the Colony, not only bo far aa tho mere coastal traffic is concerned, but aho with reference to the trade with the Australian Colonies, the South Saa Islands, and the growing Colony of New Culedonift, in all of which a large and profitable outlet may be found for the produce of the Colony. The objects of the Company are thoroughly Colonial, not local, aud therefore the assistanco of all parts of tho Colony is invited. CHARLES HARTMANN, Manager. Wellington, December 4, 1873.
