Everv exsr,ion will be made to give vessels the ut
most phssble despatch IL is to be understood that
they must take their regular turn to loadi and M
claim demurrsge should they wait fm their turn,
nor claim for any other cause beyond the Companys
control can be allowed. The Managers. however, be.
eve that the facilities possessed by the Company this
year. will enable them 20 load three tim as many YES
sells per day heretofore and 10 conduct their bust
ness with increased regularity
No advantage of credit being gained ny delay. it is
respectfully suggested that orders should be sent early
in the season, when freigh,s and insurance are gene
rally obtained on the best terms. With every dsPo
stion to accommodate their correspondents, the Ma
nsgers will USE their best eneavors as heretofore,
to procure vessels, when requested, on the lowest
terms, but they would recommend that their custom
ers should engage vessels for themselves whenever
practicable.
The Aansg ers have further directed me to say, that
they do anticipate any alteration IN prices, but
they should be lowered BY the Company this year,
persons giving previous orders shall receive the bene-
lit OF such reductinn At the same tme the Managers
do not preclude themselves from advancing the price
with the advance of the season, should they deem II
expedien, but orders accepted will not be subject
to any advance.
