Editors Hardest Nut

From the New Republic
Mr.. Munsey Is assured of his place in
the Sun If he acts upon this one of his
beliefs: ''The average man has half an
hour or less to devote to his morning
paper, and it is mistake 20 give him l.
hours of reading At present the aver
age man often gets this from his morn
ing paper First a layer of headlines,
which tell him something about the news
below; then a layer of summary, devoted
partly to repeating the information Civ
en- in the headlines and. partly to telling,
more about the news below; then the
story itself, which in exceptionally well
edited papers starts at the beginning and
goes straight to the end The man WHO
begins with the first word of the top
headline and continues to the last word
of the story reads several things three
times and a few things twice. The edi-
torial problem is not to get rid of the
headlines. which most Of us like, but to
find a way of making the summary as
distinct from the more detailed news story
as the headlines now are from both. The
headlines ought to let reader know
whether he wants the full story or the
summary, and in paper intelligently
edited it would DO possible to tell at a
glance where the summary ends. The
summary at the head of long news story
is at present the worst part Of most good
papers.

CROP DAMAGE NEWS
SENDS COTTON UP
Final Tone Steady-January
Made New High Record
for the Month

New York. July 27.-Eastern belt
crop damage news made a strong i'm
preston on the cotton market today
and prices rose rapidly, closing within
a point or so of the top and IL to IS
points net higher with the final tone
steady. January made new high rec
ord for the month.
At the opening, the market was
steady and l to points net higher,
chiefly on a little Liverpool buying and
further scattered showers over the
eastern belt. With the forecast of con-
tinued unsettled weather in that Sec
ton and showers probable again to-
morrow October soon advanced to 1910
and January to 13.41c, or 8 to 9 points
net higher by the end of the first
hour. Some realizing occurred around
this level on the forecast of unsettled
weather in east Texas where rain is
needed, but it was readily absorbed and
at midday the market showed signs of
a decidedly bullish undercurrent fol-
lowing rumors that southern report
from the authorities had reached it's
condition figures to 74.S, or 6.3 points
under the last government report. II
true, this would tend to confirm the eX-
circulating from private sources and
was in line with the report of local
trade paper which showed a drop of
10 points in the Alabama condition
and to points in Mississippi
Sentiment was visibly impressed with
the significance of these statements and
demand broadened out considerably in
the afternoon, including outside buying
| through commission houses and both
Wall street and uptown support, the
latter being the first prominent part
uptown interests have taken in the
market in a long time. Memphis was
also a buyer of winter months here,
which was considered important in
view of the character of crop news from
that quarter. Damage in the eastern
belt was estimated at from rs to 90
per cent in various private reports re-
ceived from the south, mainly due to
flood conditions, although the lack OF
| fertilizer was also mentioned. Liver
pool closed IN to 3h points lower
without having any important effect
here and was said to be awaiting the

UPWARD TENDENCY
OF COTTON MARKET
BulIish Sentiment From the
Government Crop Report
Incentive to Buying

New Orleans, July 27.-The cotton mar
ket did better today on bullish crop news
ard had an upward tendency until it met
with realizing Of profits on long con-
tracts in o large way. The close. how
ever, was well up toward the topmost
levels, at a net rise Of Il to 10 points.
The highest levels were reached in the
early afternoon when the most active
months were 16 to II points up.
Bullish sentiment regarding the crop
condition report from the government.
due next Tuesday. seemed the chief in
centive for buying. Early in the day
private bureau report showing decide de-
terioration in Alabama and Mississippi,
inspired operators on the long side, while
later in the session another private bu-
reau put out a condition report of 74.8
per cent of the normal as the condition
for the whole belt. This repre-
scented a. loss of So points for the month.
Further rains in the eastern belt and
good cables opened the market at the
advance, and prices were held above the
level of yesterdays close throughout the
session. Shorts were heavy buyers of
covers. Around the middle of the day
there was a demand for contracts for
long account, which materially helped the
market.

Charles Fairchild & Co.'S Letter

New York, July 27.-The seriousness
of conditions throughout the eastern
belt has apparently begun to be real
lied by recent sellers of cotton. The
New York market opened 1 to high
er. Very little activity was manifested.
however, until about l o'clock when
large local short attempted to cover.
But little cotton was found for sale
and the buying orders were with
drawn. Later in the day buying for
long account became more pronounced
and the market closed strong at top
prices. We reiterate our belief in much
higher/prices and favor purchases. The
crop in many sections of the eastern
belt is injured beyond possibility of
full recovery.
The crop west of the river has thus
far made good progress, but needs rain
What it may do during the crucial
month of August is conjectural. In any
case the situation in the eastern belt
is sufficiently grave to deter general
short or hedge selling. Much better
prices, in our opinion, are likely short
ly. The oil market had another weak
spasm We still favor purchase of No
vember and December. 1t looks as
though the market would soon turn.
