 and the highest prices for any'qnanlity of Anv rican Reeled 

 Silk. The price will be regiilaled according lo the qualilv 

 and the manner in which it is reeled. 'I his (!ompany will 

 also eonlraci to pay cash and the highest price for any quan- 

 lity ol Silk Cocoons raised the present year. Believino- that 

 it would be decidedly for the interest of cultivators lliat the 

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

 quality of the silk which can be reeled fmm ihem, they pro- 

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

 llic silk which they will afford, in preference ii> purchasi-.g 

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

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

 Where thi, course is objected to they" will purchase them as 

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

 will vary according to the qualilv, age, mode of packino- 

 dampness, &c. ' 



It is Ihe intenlion of this Company at all limes lo offer 

 ever> encouragement lo silk cultivators by paving cash and 

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