RAW SILK AND SILK COCOONS. 



The Atlantic Silk Company at Naiilucket wil! pay cash 

 and the liighest prices for any quantity of Am' licau Reeled 

 Silk. The price vviil be regulated according to the qu.dily 

 aud the manner in which it is reeled. '1 his l-'ompany will 

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

 tity of Silk Cocoons raised the present year. Believing ihat 

 it would be decidedly for the interest of cultivators that the 

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

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

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

 the silk wliicli they will nfl'ord, in preference to purchasing 

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

 will realize all which they can possibly he made lo prod^ice. 

 Where llii- course is objectetl to diey will purchase them as 

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

 will vary according to the quaiilv, age, mode of packing, 

 dampness, &:c. 



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

 ever^ encouragement to silk cultivators by paying cash and 

 liberal prices for Raw Silk ami Silk Cocoo?is in any quaiitilies,
