The Atlantic Silk Company at Nantucket will pay cash 

 and the highest prices for any quantity ofAm'rican Keeled 

 Silk. The price will be regulated according lo Ihe quality 

 and Ihe manner in which it is reeled. 'Ibis Company will 

 also contract lo pay casli and the highest price tor any quan- 

 tity of Silk Cocoons raised the present year. Believing that 

 it would be decidedly for ihe interest of cultivators that lh<' 

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

 quality of the silk which can be reeled frnm ihem, ihey pro- 

 pose to receive and reel ihem, and allow the highest price for 

 ihc silk whicii they will affor<), in preference u> purrhasir.g 

 them by the bushel ; as by the mode proposed, the cultivator 

 will realize all which they can possibly be made to produce. 

 Where thi • course is objected lo \hey will purchase them as 

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

 will vary according lo the qualitv. age, mode of packing, 

 dampness, &c. 



It is the intention of this Company al all times to offer 

 ever\ encouragement lo silk cultiA-ators by paying cash and 

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