The Atlantic Silk Company at Nantucket will pay cash

 and the manner in which it is reeled. 'J hi» t'orapany will 

 also eoiilracl to pay ca,-li and the highest price for any quan- 

 tity o( Silk Coc.pons raised the present year. Believing that 

 it would be decidedly for die interest of cultivators iliat the 

 price of cocoons shou'd be regulated by the quantity and 

 quality of the silk which can be reeled from them, they pro- 

 pose lo receive and reel them, and allow the highest price for 

 liic silk which they will afford, in preference to purchasing 

 them hy the bushel ; as bv ilic mode proposed, the cultivator 

 will realize all which Ihey'can possibly be made to produce. 

 Where thii course is objected lo ihey will purchase them as 

 they aie usually sold, by the bushel ; in which case the price 

 will vary according lo the quality, age, mode of packing, 

 dampness, &c. 



ll is the intenlion of this Company at all times to offer 

 every encouragement lo silk culuvalors by paying cash and 

 liberal prices for Raw Silk and Silk Cocoons in any quantities,
