A SMASHING OF NAVAL METAL
Chicago, Pulled OFF After Grounding

San Francisco, Aug. 1S.-The cruiser
Chicago, flagship of the Pacific squad
ron, flying the flag Of Admiral Good
rich, went aground close to the light
house and fog signal station on Angel
island in this harbor. She came up
from San Diego with the disabled
gunboat Bennington in tow and accom-
panied by. the navy tug Fortune. A
strong ebb tide was running, and in
the current the tow line on which the
Bennington was trailing, parted. Be-
fore her Roadway could be stopped, the
Chicago ran her bows upon the beach.
The Bennington, on her momentum,
sailed up close to the stern of the
stranded vessel before her anchors took
hold
The tug Fortune soon got line to
the Chicago and succeeded in pulling
her clear of the bottom, but when she
came off she took a sheer that sent her
straight for the anchored Bennington.
The current of the tide carried her
down across the bow of the anchored
vessel, and there Was smashing of
metal when they came together. Then
the two vessels, afoul Of each other,
went drifting on the tide. Both were
considerably damaged

few minutes after being introduced to

TRADE GATHERING FORCE
Favorable Harvest Results in slim.
ulating Trade and Prices Are
Well Maintained.

New York, Aug. 19-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Fall trade, while not yet under full
Roadway is steadily gathering force.
Buyers are more numerous. Good
weather for harvesting and threshing,
except in portions of the northwest,
continue to reveal very favorable re-
suits in both spring and winter sown
grains Combined cereal yields will
probably exceed all past years in both
quantity and quality. Relatively high
prices for agricultural products, man
ufactured materials and staple products
do not deter buying operations. Collec-
tons on the whole have improved
slightly, and even in the south, except
in small area of the fever-infected
zone, trade and collections are alike
better than anticipated earlier, while
the west and east also return more IA
vorable advices.

Americans looking after trade In
China are informed by our consular
agents in that country that the intro
duction of an article into general use
there means an immense SALE Where

millions, general use" means some
thing. AT the same time there is
room for a very considerable amount
of goods which can not be regarded as
actual necessities, and which in the

The nature of luxuries. The wealthy
class are ready to buy almost anything
which appeals to their fancy, and this
class is greatly on the increase.
