The Confederate States of America having, on the 18th day
of February instant, enacted the law hereunto annexed, it becomes
necessary that this Company should change the system hitherto pursed
by them in receiving and forwarding goods consigned to their care,
as they are not prepared to transact the business at the Custom
House, and advance the duties, or give bonds for the same, as will
be required. |
|
Therefore, Merchants Consignees of goods, heretofore
consigning them to the care of Central Rail Road Agent, are hereby
notified that from and after the 10th day of March next, their goods
must be consigned to the care of some Commission Merchant in the
city, whose outlay (commissions and duties always excepted) will be
advanced by this Company, and charged to the goods as formerly. |
|
Bill of Lading, Invoice and accompanying instructions
should be mailed to the Commission Merchant employed to forward the
goods; and it would be well for Merchants to instruct their shippers
so to do. |

R. R. Cuyler, President |
