The character of the Lehigh coal is 50 well known,
that is not deemed necessary to sub join any recon-.
menda,on of its quality It sufficient to state, that
for paror CRATES, stoves, and culinary uses no coal IS
more generally approved i'm this place; while as fuel
for steam engines for mating, heating brewers and
dyers coppers, ns.works, founirles, and rolling and
Sitting mills the Lehgh has decidedly the preference
on account of its greater Durability and cleanliness, to
the extent of more than twot thirds OF the aggregate
consumption of anthracite coal for huse purposes in
Philadelphia and its vicinity.
In case vessels are to take in st Bristol they will be
towed up there, in from two three hours, by the
COMPANY 3 St smboat without expense the Captains
owners and when loaded viii be towed down IN the
same way, also free of charge
Every exertion will be made to give vessels the ut.
most possible despatch II is to be understood that

ieve that the facilities possessed by the Company this

ness w'h increased regularity
No advantage of credit being gained by deSy 1t Is
respe cfu suggested that orders should be sent early
in the season. freigh,s and insurance are gene
rally obtained on the best terms. With every dispo
stion to accommodate their correspondents, the Ma.
nsgers will use their best enlesvors. rs e,oforee
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 Managers have further directed me to say, that
they do not anticipate any alteration IN prices, but
they should be lowered by the Company this year.
persons giving previous orders shall receive the bene
fit of such reductions; at the same time. the Managers
do not preclude themselves from advancing the price
with the advance of the season, should they deem
expedent; but orders accepted will not be subject
to any advance.
