Quick question, how would I read this in section 19? "On Friday, the three per cents. were 75f. 85c. On Tuesday
they opened at 73f. 90c. and closed at 74f."
I looked up what "f" and "c" meant but got nothing for "f" but "c" looks like something to do with electrical equipment which I don't think is relevant to the story.
Also, what if I can't get the correct pronunciation for some of these French words? lol

Thank you for asking. I believe we are working with French currency in this context, and then the first and can would be francs and centimes. 1 franc = 10 décimes = 100 centimes.
If you don't know the pronunciation of French words, you can always look it up on Google, the word and "pronunciation" will do the trick your accent needs not be perfect though, so don't worry too much about it thank you!

Thank you! I knew it had to do with currency and wasn't sure if "f" meant francs or something else. I just wanted to ask and be sure.
My American accent isn't good with French words I'm afraid lol. But I'll do my best.
