PROSPECTUS.
The Company is formed with the object of enabling
Eng11:11 capitalists to avail themselves of the a zible oipor-
tunAies whi h are offerc:i for investment in th, colony of
Q.,eensland and Aust_;:elia ge..er.lly.
The icy, stm..et affording- the I.3rg,st and most certain
return for Ca, ital. is cheer farming, which has pr:Jvt d the
gre it main s' ay of the Australi .11 colonies.
The p egress of •he eccup, ion of she,. p farming, and he
eat . at which the floc a h ve in,re LFed and sin ead through-
out these colonies, are remarkable. In 1810, when qermany
and Sgain were the only countries producing int rino wool,
Australia exported its first ble of 1. Olbs but in 180 it sent
to the mot:ter country n .t less than 60,04,0001b5., of mhieh
the Germans were large perchaseis
The following is a co. de. sect t ble of exports :

And in 18 3, the latest return
Great as has been the incr. ase throughout Australia, the
progress in Queensland has been more ra;.id than any other
portion of the colonies. The mildness of its climate and the
rici,ne.s of its pastures have contributed t 3 this result, while
the wool produc d there realises the highest price in the
London mark t.
A. provisional offer has been made to the directors for the
purchase of the leases of certain stations on the Darling
Downs, now in full opera I ion, comprising an area of upwards
of 1,500 square miles, with the sheep and cattle thereon : the
vendors taking payment for a considerable portion of th 3
purchase in the shares of the ( ompany.
The Company will thus commence business with an invest-
ment yielding at once large returns, calculated to pay an
early and satisfa tory dividend, ir. espe_tive of the ac umu-
lated profit to be der iv d irom the increase of the breeding
flocks, which in ordinary seasons may be est mated at 80 per
cent
These runs will form fhe breeding depots of the Company,
from which will be drafted the sheep for stocking any sta-
tions to be purchased, and for taking up such new country as
it is contemplated to occupy, either in the districts which the
late discoveries of Landaborough, Burke,and Wills have made
known, or elsewhere.
It is well known that large fortunes have been made in
Australia by the sheep farmers, even when their operations
have been carried on with borrowed capital at the high rate
of interest ruling in the colony ; therefore it may be fairly as-
sumed that a well-organised undertaking, combining .eood
attended with
and sufficient working capital, be
attended with most profitable resu.ts to the shareholders.
The articles and memorandum of association may be In-
spected at the Offices of the Company.
prospectuses, with forms of application, may be obtained at
the Temporary Offices of the Company, 1, Cushion-court, Old
Broad-street ; at the Mercantile Credit Association (Limited),
