How to Become a Writer. Bennett Arnold

The fiction-manager of Messrs. Tillotson’s syndicate informed me that he bought annually about two hundred short stories of various lengths.
The remuneration offered by the principal magazines varies from good to generous. Periodicals such as Pearson’s, Strand, and Windsor will pay as much as fifteen guineas to an unknown writer for a five-thousand-word story. - Cormhill pays a guinea a page, which is slightly less. The Pall Mall Magazine does not care to pay more than two pounds a thousand. The threepenny magazines can be induced to give thirty shillings a thousand. The aspirant should walk warily into the webs of magazines which have outlived their reputations or have never acquired a reputation. I know of one magazine with an ancient name whose fixed price for short stories is half a guinea—not per thousand words, but per story.
