Chicago, July 22.-With the West

ate attempts to buy the yellow cereal
In this market. Opening bids were
wild. ranging from 81 to So, from to

Buying for the country account also
was on heavy scale. On the bulge
profit-taking sales were liberal. Sep
tember worked back to IS cents, but
rallied to So 7-S cents.
In the oats pit the corn excitement
was reflected. It was, of all the pits,
the most difficult to trade in, owing to
the reluctance of almost everybody to
sell. September opened 3-S to l 10

ENGLAND's FIRST SHIP.
Great Harry Was the Country,s Pre-
mfer Fighting Machine.

Great Harry Was the Country's Pre-
mfer Fighting Machine.
OF the first ship, properly speaking,
of the British navy, known us the
Great Harry, the following particu-
lars are given in an old number. of the
Mechanics Magazine, dated Oct. IS,
1923:
The Great Harry was built by King
Henry VII at a cost Of $4,000, and
was burned ut Woolwich, through acci-
dent, in 1858.
Though King Henry, as we'll as
other princes, hired many ships, ex-
elusive of those which the different
seaports were obliged to furnish, he
seems thus to have been the first king
who thought Of avoiding this incon-
venience by raising such a force as
might be ut all times sufficient for the
service Of the state. Historians tell us
that he caused his navy, which had
been neglected in the preceding reign.
to be put in condition to protect the
British>coasts against all foreign inva-
sions, and that in the midst of pro-
found peace he always kept up a fleet
ready to act.
In August, 1912, the Regent, a ship
of 1000 tons, which was at that time
the largest vessel in the British navy,
was burned, and to replace it the
Great Harry, or, as it was also known,
the Henry Grace de Dieu, was built in
1916.
The vessel, of about 1000 tons bur-
den, was manned by $40 soldiers, 3O1
marines and so gunners. She had four
masts and portfolios on both decks and
in other parts.
Before the time of her construction
the cannon were placed above deck
and on the Prov and poop. One De-
charges, French builder at Brest, is
said to have invented portfolios.
In n list of the British navy, as It
stood on Jan. 5, 154S, the Great Harry
Is said to have carried 10 brass and 103
iron pieces Of ordnance.
The name of the ship is supposed to
have been changed in the reign of Ed
ward vi to Edward, which, on Aug.
20, 1862, was reported to be still "in
good case to serve" and was ordered
ito be grounded and calked once q
year to keep it tight."-Cassier's Maya
zine
