RAIV SILK AND SILK COCOONS. 



The Atlantic Silk Company at Nantucket will pay cash 

 and the highest prices for any" quantity of Amr lican Reeled 

 Silk. The price will be regulated according to the quality 

 and the manner in which it i.s reeled. 'I his Company will 

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

 tity ol Silk Cocoons raised the present year. Believing that 

 it 'would be decidedly for the interest of cultivators that the 

 price of cocoons shou'd he 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 

 the silk which they will afford, in preference to purchasing 

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

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

 Where Ihi, course is objected lo ihey will purchase them as 

 Ihev aie usually sold, tiy the bushel ; in which case the price 

 will vary acco'rding lo the quality, age, mode of packing, 

 dampness, &.C. 



It is the iulenlion of this Company at all limes to offer 

 every encouragement lo silk cultivators by paying cash and 

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

 to be delivered at Nantucket, or at the Seed Store connected
