RAW^ SILK AND SILK COCOONS. 



The Atlantic Silk Company at Nantucket will pay cash 

 and the highest prices for any quantity of American Reeled 

 Silk. The price wid be regulated according to the quality 

 aiKl the manner in which ills reeled. 'J his Company Hill 

 also conlrael to paj' cash and the highest price for any quan- 

 tity of Silk Cocoons raised the present year. Believing that 

 it would be decidedly for the interest of cultivators that Ihe 

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

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

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

 the silk which they will afl'ord, in preference to purchasing 

 them bj' Ihe bushel ; as by the mode proposed, the cultivator 

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

 Where this course is objected to they will purchase them as 

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

 ivill vary according to the qualitv, age, mode of packing, 

 dampness, &c. 



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

 every encouragement to 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 

 with Ihe New England Farmer, No 52 North Market street, 

 Boston. Communications on the subject may be addressed
