What n "POint" Means.

Speaking of the term point used in
the commercial sense, an authority
says that point has different value
in different references. Cotton is sold
on the exchange in New Orleans and
New York, the principal markets, in
speculative quantities of not less than
100 bales weighing 500 pounds per bale.
A point" in referring to cotton, is one
hundreth of a cent per pound which,
on the quantity. namely, $1,000 pounds,
would amount to 81. In stocks and
bonds point is per cent on a par
value of 500, that is 81 per 100; no mat
ter what the denomination of the bond
or share of stock may be. The term is
frequently, but incorrectly, used in
reference to wheat, corn, oats or other
grains, but when it is so used, general
~ is considered to mean l cent per
bushel.

the shoaling prevents large ocean
