HENRY HOYT and CO., Proprietors. F. P. MANSFIELD, Agent. 2nd October, 1865. * FOR SALE, COKE, at £3 15s PER TON. One Ton equal to Two Tons of Coal. Orders left at the Gas Office, Rattray-street, or the Gas Works, -will receive immediate attention. The price of Coke has been REDUCED from £4 10s to £3 15s per ton; deliverable in accessible portions of the city, so as to bring this valuable and economical fuel within the reach of all classes. For household purposes one ton of Coke is equal to two tons of the best screened Newcastle Goal; and as there is little ash, no sparks, and no smoke arising from the use of Coke, it will be found cleaner, safer, and more comfortable than any other fuel. Coke "will produce a permanent clear fire, of intense heat, suitable for all purposes, whether used on a flat hearth, or in any description OF STOVE, GRATE, OR KITCHEN RANGE ; and Can "foe x-.3ed with great advantage mixed with wood and coal. Throughout Europe and the Colonies, Coke is not only extensively used for general household ova-poses, but is invariably used in club-houses, ■aotcls, restaurants, railway stations, and other Institutions -where extensive cookery is carried n. or great heat required. Experienced Cooks or Laundresses always Advocate the Use of Coke ; -Jut ordinary domestics, not understanding its use, and finding that it CANNOT BE WASTED, frequently underrate its value, until made cogaisant of the great saving to them in labor attending the use of Coke for household fuel. Coke is specially prepared for Gold and Iron smelting purposes, or for malting, at £5 per ton. Coke has recently been used with great success by Engine Smiths, where heavy forgings 2,r0 required. Coke bags must in all instances be returned en delivery of the Coke ; otherwise Is 6d each /ill "be charged. Coke can be obtained of Mr Gibson, (late of M'Leod and Gibson) and of the principal Coal "Merchants ; and orders left at the Office either for Coke, Wood Preserving Tar, or a supply of Gas, will receive immediate attention. INSTRUCTIONS FOR BURNING COKE. Coke requires more draught, if used alone, than coal or wood. If mixed with coal or wood, or both, the fire should be thoroughly kindled, and the Coke then placed on the fire. As a rule, it is better for the Coke to be in rather small pieces, as otherwise it will not so readilly ignite and when ignited, the fire becomes too fierce.
