In order to prevent mistakes by telegraph operators, it is best, in writ- ing messages, to besjin every cipher word with a capital letter, and to leave a little space between each cipher. 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 "Rigor," which will be found on page 170. 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, oxcept 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, are for basis of "Middling Uplands, American Standard classification, any grade from Strict Ordinary to Fair, inclusive." 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 under- stood, unless otherwise expressed. Sterling Bills will always be understood to be drawn at 60 days' sight, and Domestic diafts at sight, unless otherwise stated. All orders sent by this Code to buy or sell for Future Delivery in New York, will be with the distinct understanding that the purchases or sales so ordered are to be, in every respect, subject to the By-Laws and Rules of the New York Cotton Exchange relating to contracts for the Future Delivery of Cotton, and their settlement. 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 " Bombast, Blood " will be read "5771." To qualify quotations or estimates, use the Table on Page 1 2, in con- nection with the Table of Numerals ; example " 10 to 10% " will be ex- pressed by the cipher words " Aloft, Bravery." 5 NUMERALS.

The large quantity of Cotton now landing, and about due at Liverpool, has caused the de- cline and depression there. We would discourage speculation at present prices. From indications around us, we advise selling at the best price obtainable, as we think we will be able to replace to advantage after awhile, should you desire to do so. We think it safe to sell at present prices. although the market may go temporarily higher. We think increased crop estimates will soon be current, causing a decline. Will not improve until our stock is worked off a little. Stocks at U. S. ports must be reduced before the market can improve permanently. There are too many weak holders for the mar- ket to improve. Market will be lower if crop accounts continue favorable. Market may continue to droop until leceiptt fall off.
