An innovation anid to be with- out precedent here or elsewhere, was recently introduced by the Committees of the two Hongkong share dealing exchanges, when they enforced a new ruling requir ing all accredited or authorised assistants to share-brokers who are members, to pay a profession- al "entranco fee" Axed at $3,000:

SHARE CAPITAL £250,000
Total value of Investments made to date exceeds £3,700,000 The Company's Provision for Maintenance and Realisation of the plantations Exceeds £900,000
(including funds in possession of the Trustees for Investors exceeding £500,000) Areas Planted-144,626 Acres
The object of the Company is to proft by the home and export markets for softwoods and products thereof, by establishing a cycle of forests in the centre of the North Island of New Zealand. Under this principle, continuous supplies of mw ma- terial will be available for the requirements of the various industries created in connection with Realisation.
The Company, contracts to purchase the Freehold, plant with trees and maintain one average acro of land for every £30 invested. This is payable in cash or on terms over approximately 4 years. Each years planting will mature in rotation. The administration of the forests is supervised by a Trust Company (The Australasian Forestry Bondholders' Trust Company Ltd.), which acts independently and solely in the interests of Investors.
Investors, will receive the whole of the nett proceeds from the sale of the forests at maturity. N.Z. Perpetual Forests Ltd. has recently been appointed Agent for realisation, by consent of the Investors.
Pinus Insignis (pine) trees grown in New Zealand are large enough for pulping purposes in approximately 12 years.
Based on published Omcial statements of prices paid for pulpwood timber in Canada and U.S.A, over a period of 20 years, and taking a conservative view of the estimated yield of wood per acre in New Zealand that exports advise may confidently be expected, it is considered that £250 is a reasonable estimate of the valuo per acre of the forests at maturity, if sold for conversion to wood pulp and other products.
