NEW YORK.

The advance of the fall season and the
notable enlargement of the movement of
cereals and cotton to market at good
prices have made for further moderate
expansion in jobbing and retail trade and
collections. This is especially marked at
western, Pacific coast and southern CEN
tiers, but the point is made that agricul-
tural sections have done better relatively
than large industrial centers in the mat
ter of retail trade. possibly because of
warm weather or the reduced purchasing
power of city workers and the high prices
paid for farm products.

unknown man caused considerable excite
ment the other night in the town of
Chic, Ohio. When Capt. Fred Edging-
ton of the steamer Chic, with his family,

with reports of shots, caused the man to

darkness, leaving portions of woman's
apparel When the family returned they
found that nothing had been taken.

Battle Ship ST. Vincent Heaviest
Craft Ever Built for British Navy.


The st. Vincent, the largest and heavi-
est battleship ever built for the British
navy, was launched successfully at Ports
mouth, England, Thursday. The weather
was fine and the sea smooth and a great
crowd saw the vessel take the water. As
the warship slipped from her blocks she
was christened by the Countess Beau
champ. Counting the three cruising
battleships of the Invincible class, the ST.
Vincent is the eighth vessel of the Dread
nought type to be launched in that coun-
try. The admiralty has observed the usual
reticence with regard to the details of the
design and construction. The ST. Vincent
was laid down in December of last year.
She is supposed to be of about 1920 tons
and her cost has been given at $9,5O0,-
