NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.
CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, April S.-WHEAT-The
green bug stories appeared in profu-
sion in the wheat pit this morning. The
rains that were reported in the south
west Saturday and Sunday were SO
slight that their effect upon the crop
was only momentarily. Another bull
factor which was given considerable
credence was a report from Missouri
that the cinch bugs were doing great
damage in that state. With the two
species of bugs working at the same
time it was more than the bears could
stand. AS a consequence bears started
to cover short wheat sold Saturday,
this resulted in boosting prices Of all
of the active futures over a cent a
bushel, the major part of it being
maintained up to the closing hour. The
visible supply statement was the only
consolation in the way of news the
bears could find. 1t. however, did not
have any effect upon prices. The mar
ket closed strong.

WITH THE EDITORS
Teachers and News.

couple OF visiting teachers were
overheard engaged In an animated dis
cussion OF newspapers. They had varied
opinions and yet both were inclined to
be decidedly critical. And, it Is a fact
that those who are not at all familiar
with the making OF newspaper can
pick flaws Every newspaper man
realizes this and IS glad to have his
work criticised. Therefore the obser-
walton of the teachers were heard with
much interest by newspaper man who
happened to be near by.
Both were of the opinion that the
newspaper is often in error and they
were right, for in the hurry many mis-
takes are bound to creep in. The only
wonder is that there are not more Of
them. Particularly is this true in a
grammatical way and it is not always
because the editors do not know what
is good English. 1t is doubtful If some
of the best students of English could
be subjected to the rush and turmoil
of the days run on newspaper with
out making a mistake here and there.
This is not offered as an excuse, be-
cause the errors are too numerous to
be entirely covered in this manner.
Criticism is, therefore, welcomed for
the reason that each mistake made
known will be less likely to happen
again.
Teachers, though, may well confine
their criticism to grammatical mis-
takes, for when they attempt to Judge
the news value of a subject they get
beyond their province. The truth of
the matter is that it takes years of
training to be able to determine what
is news and what is not, and no per-
son unfamiliar with newspaper work
can do so in accurate manner Even
the best newspaper men go wrong in
this regard occasionally. The two
teachers in their argument did we'll to
conhne their discussion to errors of a
grammatical nature. Instructors know
good English, as a rule, but they are
not familiar with the newspaper from
the standpoint of news-South Bend

To us it seems a healthy improve
ment which the stock market records
today We are quite we'll aware that
many persons may ascribe the rise to
a timid short interest, and naturally
to some extent there has been buying
of stocks by the bears. but we are
strongly impressed with the idea that
more stocks left Wall street during the
depression than was generally believed
possible. The buying at low prices for
investment account was very great in
deed probably far in excess of the es-
Inmates The market therefore, is in
way bare of stocks and there are no
cliques or overloaded people who are
likely to be forced into selling at these
figures. The most heavily loaded, sold
at lower prices and those who are now
able to hold will, in our opinion
take their chances Of further advance
rather than to part with their stocks
at this time. AS a natural deduction.
therefore, we argue in favor Of some
what higher prices before any distinct
reaction should overtake us. The con-
tinued ease of money and the fact that
it can be borrowed practically into the
coming year at Y per cent, indicates
a safe position for stock brokers and
for spectators. which could hardly
have been anticipated a month ago.
The purchase OF such stocks as B. & O.,
Atchison, Omaha, etc, at these prices,
coupled with the ability to carry them
on Time money at rate not exceeding
515 per cent furnishes a safe specu-
lative attitude with a minimum OF risk.
We believe sincerely that stocks Of this
class will be bought extensively as con-
fidence returns.
