COVER (from the Fr. convert, from couvrir, to cover, Lat. cooperire)

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 343 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
COVER (from the Fr. convert, from couvrir, to cover, Lat. cooperire) , that which hides, shuts.in or conceals, a lid to abox or vessel, &c., the binding of a book or wrapper of a parcel; as a
hunting
  term, the
wood
  or undergrowth which shelters game. As a commercial term, the word means in its widest sense a security against loss, but is employed more particularly in connexion with stock exchange transactions to signify a " deposit made with a broker to secure him from being out of pocket in the event of the stocks falling against his client and the client not paying the difference " (In re Cronmire, 1898, 2 Q. B. 383). It is a mode of speculation engaged in almost entirely by persons who wish to limit their
risk
  to a small amount, and, as a
rule
 , the transactions are largely carried out in England with " outside " brokers, i.e. those dealers in securities who are not members of the Stock Exchange. The deposit is so much per cent or per share, usually 1% on the market value of the securities up to about twice the amount of the turn of the market; the client being able to close the transaction at any time during the currency of the cover, but the broker only when the cover is exhausted or has " run off." Cover is not money deposited to abide the event of a wager, but as security against a debt which may arise from a gaming
contract
 , and it may be recovered back, if unappropriated.
