ABSTRACT OF PROSPECTUS . It has been for some years past a matter of notoriety that British and Irish linen manufacturers , and also manufacturers of hempen goods , have materially suffered from a deficient supply of flax and hemp ; This state of deficient supply arises fromthe fact that the cultivation of flax in Great Britain has materially decreased instead of increased with the growing requirements of our linen- manufactures . Our national commercial statistics show that , out of 150 , 000 tons of flax annually consumed in the United Kingdom , hot more than 50 , 000 tons are of home growth . In addition to this enormous importation of flax for our linen manufactures , . we have also imported-hundreds of thousands of quarters of linseed every year for home consumption . . The linen manufacturers of the United Kingdom have declared that they are ready to take any quantity which can foe grown at home , and at such ' prices as will be more remunerative to the agriculturist than the usual produce of Ms lands . The promoters of the National Flax Company are prepared to prove to the agriculturists of . this . country that no more profitable . crop can be cultivated than that of flax , whenever their system of rettories , and improved mechanical treatment of flax fibre , shall be adopted in the localities of its growth . The main feature of the company ' s plan is , that it will take the trouble of preparing the flax ; for market entirely off the hands of the grower , by becoming the purchasers of" the crop , and thus leaving the grower entirely ¦ free from the hazards of bad harvesting weather , and ivt the same time ensuring him a certain handsome profitable re * - turn for all the flax he can produce and deliver to the company ' s depots and rettories . The company ' s operations will also embrace the whole of the requisite process of preparing the flax and similar fibrous substances ready for the spinner . . The system , ¦ of preparation adopted by this company is the subject of a patent , the invention of Mr . George Albemarle Cator , a gentleman who has madq the cultivation of flax and its preparation for the Bphincr his especial study for many years past , lie having fully demonstrated the great economy of labour and , the very great improvement in the quality of the flax fibre , which is the result of his improved system of flax preparation . The system will be found fully detailed in the "Explanatory Pamphlet on Flax Cultivation and Preparation , " to bo had free from the Secretary of tho company and its agouts ; in which will also bo found an exposition of the great importance of the homo cultivation of flax , as insuring- a regular supply of raw material to the very important national manufactures of linen and hempen goods ; half-stuff for paper-milkers ; and tho importance o ? the seed for linseed oil and oil-pake . As an example of the intended operations of tho com .-Sany , tho following is quoted from tho full prospectus of io company : ~ . By rottorles will be understood establishments where the preparation of flax-fibre from the raw plant for tho spinner ana manufacturer will bo carried out through nil Its sitngos . It is estimated that two rottorios , on tho scale proposed as the baeo of operations , will require eight patent tnnchinos , and , if constantly at work for ( say ) 309 days In tho ? oa r , will produce' annually 1 , 800 tons of ilax-nbro , , 000 quarters /> f linseed , and 1 ) 00 tons of tows ; and allowing . # 50 por ton to be obtained for tho Ilax-nbro , nilH . por quarter for the linseed , and £ 5 por ton for tho tows , there is a gross yield of £ 85 , 500 . Assuming- that it will tnlco as much as ton tons of ( laxstraw unseodod to produoo onu ton of flax-fibre , at a cost of 41 , nor ton , and 18 ? , por ton of fibre for all oxppnscu , tho total outlay will bo OO .

( tl \ o cost of tho buildings , plant , and maohinory , togothor with a mifilolont working capital for two rottorios ) , which is wholly Irrespective of tno dividend that may bo oxpoctod irom Hoonco auos from other rottorloe j and as tho operations of tho company aro extended , the dividends will bo in proportion . Tho pooullar advantages of Solby , in Yorkahiro , and tho surrounding 1 unx-ff rowing 1 districts , have dooldocl tho company / on establishing tholr ftrst rottory In that neighbourhood ,, , v A pr .

The Company has been formed for the purpose of assisting- inventors , and its contemplated operations comprise : — . The taking out of patents and registrations for inventors , and , when required , advancing the money for this purpose . ' The advancing sums of money on approved security to inventors and patentees , for the purpose of enabling them to develop and complete their patents and inventions . The purchase ana sale of inventions and patents . The selling of patents and inventions on commission . The investigation of the value and merits of inventions , and the granting of certificates thereof . The devotion of a portion of the company ' s premises , for the purpose of receiving modols and drawings of inventions and patents . The keeping a registry of all patents taken out by the Company , and the furnishing a monthly list thereof to all subscribers . One of the great objects of the Company will be at all times to watch over and preserve the rights . of patentees , and , if possible , to obtain a . repeal of the stamp duties affecting inventors , or , if not able to accomplish this , to obtain a great reduction in the amount of such duties . All information may be obtained at the office , and the deposit may be remitted to tho bankers or to the Secretary .
