TELEGRAPH CODE. 



I o facilitate dispatch, we have given Cipher words to all the leading articles in this Catalogue, and also to all the likely quantities, both by weight, 

 measure and packet, so that our friends by wiring two words can order any quantity of any variety in the list. For example, by wiring the words, 

 " Meter Adam," we would understand that to be "seventy-five bushels Henderson's First of All Pea." If the same quantity is required of several 

 articles, the word meaning that quantity need only be given before the first article.
