 To prevent tea reaching Germany from England through neutral coun- tries, Great Britain has prohibited it's eXportation to the European countries except those of the allies, Spain and
 Portugal. Since the outbreak of the war tea exports to Holland have reached enormous proportions.
 Protect East Coast
 The admiralty has taken further steps to protect east coast ports by the extension of the mine field. This seems to support rumors that German raid on the east coast is expected. It is gen. orally believed here that-if Germany Is
 baked in other designs she will at tempt to attack England no matter how desperate such an expedition is considered.

 Naval Engagement Fetrograd, November 20.-(Via Lon don, 1850 D. m.)-From reports re- ceived here of the Russo-Turkish naval engagement off Sebastcpol it is appar- ent that the Turkish cruisers Goeben and Breslau were on their way to bonn bard the summer residence of Emperor Nicholas just outside Yalta. There seemingly was much confu- sion aboard the Goeben when the Rus
 sain ships appeared 25 miles off the
 mouth of Sebastopol haI Dor. The Goe- len made no immediate alteration in her course nor did she open fire at once.
 The Russian fleet steamed in battle formation, bringing the Goeben be- tv cen them and the coast. The Russian flagship Ievstafi opened q broadside with her 12-inch guns hitting the Goebens upper deck and setting the ship on fire. The Goeben replied but in spite of her short range 40 cable lengths" her shots resulted in no serious damage. It was apparent that her upper works and one funnel were badly damaged before she drew off.
 While turning to pursue the Goeben the Ievstafi landed several more shells

The current stock market dulness fnds
Its nearest counterpart In November OF
last year, when for one day trading
sank to the remarkable level OF $4,000
shares for full session. That period OF
Inactivity. 1t will be remembered, was
followed by n subst initial rise running
through December and January. 1t Is ad-
mitted that big incentive for the sd-
vance was found In expectations or
prosperity under the new freedom" for
business. just as establishment on that
score accompanied the subsequent reac-

a return TO power OF the Republican
party under the leadership OF Roosevelt.
There are any number OF people In wall

A big Spectator who has lately been
expressing himself rather enthusiastically
on the market situation IL inclined to
revise his position slightly because OF
fears lest a. decision In the advanced rate
case be delayed longer than was thought
likely. His beliefs In higher prices were
not based solely on an early decision
but that was considered. nevertheless. an
essential ingredient. His present atti-
tude OF mind recalls the story Of "A West
ern mining town in the unreEenerate
days. A report came to town that the
local bad man and bully. named Jones,
had been killed in a shooting ARRAY with
n stranger. The news created a sensa-
ton in the principal saloon. The sense
OF relief overruled the discretion Of one
man. who boosted freely that 1t was just
as well Jones had died, for he himself
had been out to get him. with the state
ment hardly out OF his mouth n corrected
