The Provisional Committee, referring to the prospectus
already published, have now the satisfaction to announce that
the authorities of the War Department, after a long series of
trials and experiments, have declared the Nova Scotia iron to
be the very best they have been able to discover for their pur-
poses, and her Majesty's Government have, consequently, con-
tracted for a large supply for the use of the Royal arsenals.
This fact, in addition to the greatly-increased demand on
the part of the steel trade and the general public, renders it
imperative upon the Company to adopt the speediest mea-
sures to enlarge their means of production ; and the Com-
mittee, therefore, give notice, the share lists will be closed at
an early day.
