In order that all coal shall be shipped in good or.
der, most rigid system of inspection, both at the
mines and al the shipping ports, will at all times
be enforced. In every district of the coal region
there will be appointed number of competent per-
sons skilled in the preparation of coal local in
spectors, whose duty II will be to visit the several
collleres daily TO see that proper force is at all
times employed in removing slate, and to prevent,
If possible, any coal being sent from the mines in
bad order. In addition to these efforts at proven.
ton, no means will be left untried at the shipping
ports 70 cure the evils of careless preparation At
Schuylkill, Haven, Port Clinton, and Port Rich
mOnd, all coal Will be subjected to the personal ex.
animation of skilled inspector before it is ship.
ped, and if condemned by him, will be dumped in
places provided for the purpose, and before being
loaded into vessels will be thoroughly repicked and
cleaned by hand, at the cost Of the owner of the
coal merchants, controlling production greater
than that of any other seller, and embracing more
than twothirds of the coal to be shipped from Port
Richmond, the Company are fully alive to the great
Importance of careful preparation, and will spare
no expense to secure for their Goals a reputation
second to none in the country.
The Company's ownership of ninety thousand
acres OF coal land in the first and second coal
the proximity of those regions to tide-water al
Phladelphia-the advantages Of the descending
grades of the roads of the Philadelphia and Read.
ing Railroad Company, and of the feet Of steam
Golfers being established by the latter Company,
render it certain that the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company will always supply large
proportion Of the coal consumed upon the Atlantic
coast. In addition to these geographical and local
advantages, the fact that they the only one of
the large mining companies whose lands produce
all the known varieties of Anthracite Coal, from
Shamokin and LOrberry regions, so much in de.
mand for domestic purposes, gives them an add
tional claim upon the favorable consideration of
the coalpurchasing community.
The anthracite coal trade Of this country will
hereafter be controlled and prices established by
those who actually represent the ownership of the
and fluctuations OF prices will be avoided. 1t viii
be the great aim OF the Company to induce feel.
ing Of confidence en- the part of their customers, so
that retailers and manufacturers may take advan-
tage Of their capital to lay in supply Of coal
whenever it is most convenient for them to do so,
without any apprehension that the value of their
stock will be impaired by any subsequent action Of
the Company.
On or about the Goth of each month throughout
the season, circulars will DO issued from the Gen.
eral Office of the Company in Philadelphia, cstab-
fishing prices for the succeeding month; and or.
ders may be sent either to the Treasurer of the
Company, in Philadelphia, or to the General Sales
Agent, in New York. Propositions may be made
to the Company at any time before the first day of
April, 1873 for the purchase of stated quantity of
coal, to be taken in equal monthly proportions ut
current circular prices throughout the season and
If any such proposition is accepted by the Com
of any month, have the privilege of declining to
take the proportion due In such month, but such
declnation shall not give to him the right to take
In any succeeding month, any increased quantity
