Journalism; wasting no space on scare
heads, giving promotion, not to the repor-
ter who brought in the best story but to
the man who gave the best story in the
fewest words: .abolishngl the system of
writing on space, and arranging the news
In such a form that the reader can get a
good idea of the whole of the morning
news in. well, under a minute.
primarily my paper IS a time-saving
news sheet, and, moss important of all we
never disturb the arrangement of the news
that the same kind of news appears in
the same place every day of the year The
constant shifting of news that takes place
in so many English and American news
papers Is as puzziing to the public as If
the municipal authorities were to alter the
names OF the streets every night, You
may call these minor points, but l don't
think so. y@5
All the News Condensed.
"Of course, you must take good care that
you have each night all the news and that
each piece of news Is given Its proper pro-
portion of space. II to this you can add
the advantage Of giving the public much
smaller paper than your rivals you relieve
your readers OF the labor Of hauling about
a vast mass of unnecessary paper. Tba
public will gradually find out that YOU
are saving them much time and trouble
any they Will begin by taking your paper ia
addition to their usual morning paper. and
when they find out that the smaller paner
gives them all the news they want you
will get, or you ought to get, with popu-
lation like that Of New FORK million

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York Nov. 30.-There was large
business done in stocks again today but
the activity was not we'll maintained
throughout the session. The surface in
dications were that the largely early bus
mess was for London account. For in
stance the prices of American advanced
in London before the opening here. This
was in spite OF the general heaviness of
the London market due to the. money
market conditions and to the discouraging
news from South Africa. But after the
opening here foreign arbitrage brokers
were sellers of stocks, and their sales on
balance for today estimated at 10000
shares. The inference is pretty plain that
Londons early advance was on New York
buying, while genuine London transactions
in this market were on the selling side.
They had little influence on the prices
which went to the best generally after
the arbitrage operations had ceased. With
the exception Of some continued large
buying in some quarters of the railroad
list, the trading was rather languid, es-
pecially during the latter part of the day.
A firmer tendency of the money market
and a rise in the call loan rate to Az per
cent late in the day were also an influ-
ence towards REFRESHING activity. Prep
aration for the monthly settlement may
have had something to do with this de-
veIopment, but the transfer through the
ub-Treasury today of $450,00O to the in
terror suggests a recurrence of demand
upon this centre for interior needs. which
would prove a serious drain upon the
money market. The forecasts OF the
weekly bank statement indicate small

Some gold has been found and some

There may be millions in all there. But

New York, Nov. Robustness in dry
goods resumed after the holiday without
change in prices. Demand for cotton
goods dull on the spot, but fair orders
otherwise. Bleached and coarse colored
goods very firm. Light weight brown
cottons also firm. Print cloths quiet and
unchanged. Prints moderate demand.

New York, Nov 30.-The sole feature
Of today's cotton market was it's strength,
which obtained to surprising degree and
was sustained in face of all obstacles.
Speculatively the market was one of the
smallest of recent times and few trades
were made that were for accounts other
than professional. The public was not
buyer. The market opened steady with
prices four to eleven points higher and
after the call worked several points still
higher on brisk demand from parties rep
resenting influential Southern and foreign
interests and by local shorts. Exception
ally firm cables and rumors that Southern
spot markets were again higher, were
the basis of the confidence of first hour
buyers. AS the morning progressed bust
ness dwindled away steadily with noon
opera lens small even for scalping trade.
Prices settled few points under scatter
ing sales for profits only to again seek
high pitch of the day in the early after
noon and estimates for light receipts at
New Orleans and Houston tomorrow. The
private cables attributed Liverpool's
strength to American buying Increased
demand for cotton goods at Manchester
from China added to the firmness in gen
eral abroad. Closed quiet with prices net
one to twelve points higher.

the money rate this afternoon is pretty
reliable index of some impairment in the
condition of the banks. Prices of stocks

railroad list stocks of Southern and South
western railroads were notably firm, led
by Chesapeake and Ohio, which got UP

were weak early on an alleged project

Albuquerque Is leading the prosperity
