It is of the utmost importance that all cipher words should be written carefully and distinctly. Each letter of the word should be so plainly written that it can not possibly be mistaken for any " other letter. Care should be taken to dot the " i's and cross the "t's." The letters a, o, n, and u, bear close resemblance when imperfectly formed, and too much care can not be taken in writing them. More errors in telegraphing in cipher arise from careless writing than from all other causes In writing messages, begin every cipher word with a capital letter, and leave a little space between each cipher. This will lessen the chances of mistakes by telegraph operators. When it is necessary to telegraph in ordinary language, and there is fear of its being misunderstood, begin that part of the message which it is desired should be read literally, with the cipher word " Pinafore," which will be found on page 218. Words to fill blanks in sentences must be placed in the order in which they should be read, immediately after the ciphers for such sentences, except where the sentences begin with a blank. In that case, the word for the blank will immediately precede the cipher for the sentence. All quotations for "Future Delivery Contracts" sold in New York and New Orleans are for basis of " Middling, American Standard classification, any grade from Strict Ordinary to Fair, in- clusive." When orders, with a limit of time for their execution, are re- ceived after the close of the market, the time will commence from the next business day. Orders to buy or sell will be understood to be for account of the sender, unless otherwise stated. In reports of purchases or sales, "for your account" will be un- derstood, unless otherwise expressed. All orders sent by this Code to buy or sell for Future Delivery will be with the distinct understanding that the purchases or sales Bo ordered are to be, in every respect, subject to the By-Laws and Rules of the Cotton Exchange of the market in which they are executed. When several orders are embraced in the same message, and some of them are conditional, those which are unconditional should be written first ; and the conditions should always immediately pre- cede the conditional orders to which they refer. Unless otherwise stated, Sterling Bills will always be understood to be drawn at 60 days' sight, and Domestic Drafts at sight. Especial attention is invited to the Tables for giving quotations (pages 60, 61, 97 to 100, and 246 to 257), and to the Firm Offer Tables (pages 267 to 303). Full explanation of the Firm Offer Tables will be found on page 271. To express a price or quantity for which there is no " cipher " in the Tables of Numerals, use two or more "ciphers," the sum of which will express the desired amount; for example, '^Applied, Antidote"—will be read, "26S2." To qualify quotations, use the Tables on pages 15, and 22 to 24. Examples: "^//^-w//" will be read "^ to /j," ^'Attention" "^ to ,\," "BroTVfter" " '' jS,, to i|^," '' BuciW ^ to M-" G 3 ..

ANSWERS.

Confidant We increase our crop estimate to bales

Confide We reduce our crop estimate to bales. Confidence With unfavorable seasons, we think the crop may be reduced to bales.

Confideth With favorable seasons hereafter, we think the crop estimates maybe increased to bales. Confiding Under the most favorable circumstances, we believe the crop can not exceed bales.

Confines Under the most unfavorable circumstances, we believe the crop can not be less than bales.

Confirmer ;\llhough many reduce their estimates, we see

no reason for it at present. Confiscate Although crop estimates are increased by many, we see no reason for changing our estimate.

Conflict If the unfavorable weather continues, we will have to reduce our estimates.

Dramshop ... Our "contract" market will probably follow the Liverpool market for some time to come. Draper We think our "contract" market now influences the Liverpool market. " The feeling here is "bearish Drastic The feeling here is "bullish." Drawback Brokers the principal operators. Drawbridge... -Speculators the principal buyers, to cover their sales. Draying Speculators principal sellers, to close out their pur- chases. Drayman There are signs of an effort on the part of operators to advance prices, in order to make a market upon which to sell short. Dread There are signs of an effort on the part of operators to depress prices, in order to make a market upon which to buy. Dreadeth The " Bulls " are depressing the market, at the mo- ment, in order to get in at low figures. Dreadful The " Bears " are sustaining the market, at the mo- ment, in order to sell short at high figures.

Dreadfully . . . .We give the report for what it is worth. Dreading A combination to break down the market is talked of. Dream do advance do. do Dreamers The present upward movement may influence prices

This chapter is chiejly intended to be used betwten points in the United States, to describe the state of the Liverpool market. Many sen- tences, however, can be used to advantage from Liverpool. Ln giving figures of advance or decline, messages sent at or before noon will coin- pare with the closing prices of the previous day, and subsequent messages will be by comparison with the opening prices of the day. 7 he Rcpor-ts referred to are the official market reports. By using a cipher word from page 27, the time of day can be changed as may be desired, and the message thus made to give a private instead of an official report. First 103 LIVERPOOL MARKET.
