Novel Effect of Electric Lighting on

about seven O'Clock The watchers on
the river banks saw six British crus-
ors and the eight battleships of the
American first squadron suddenly flash
into view, their outlines marked by
strings of electric lights, Thus illumi-
mated they looked like phantom ships
in fairy land. A unique feature of the
illumination Of the American warships
was the use of the powerful search
lights which on each ship were trained
on the %ss that flew from foremast
and mainmast, bathing the American
and British flags in a silyery light.

GOOD CONDITIONS PREVAIL
The Only Flaws In the General Trade
Movement Are Complaints of
Car Congestion.

New York, Nov. Bradstreet's
weekly review says
Excellent reports still come from
nearly all lines Of trade and industry,
the only flaws being complaints that
car congestion in widely-separated sec
tions affects prices. collections, cereal,
coal and coke and general freight
movements, and to a certain extent
thereby discourages some new orders.
Cold weather is still stimulus to
trade, quarantine restrictions have dis
appeared, filling-in orders are numer-
Gus, and spring sales compare well
with year ago Jobbers and whole
salers report some transference of ac-
tiyity from staple lines to holiday spe-
cialities. Manufacturers of these goods
are working full time. Industry, as a
whole, is very active. Iron and steel
interests report the past month a rec
ord breaker in all lines.
