marks are in excess of th best oer-
formances of either her sister ship, the

GRAIN SLIPS FROM CANADA.
Dominion Bend Wheat to America for
Shipment Abroad.
Montreal, Nov. 5. Frelgnt rates have
Drought about a curious situation in
connection with the shipment of srrain
from Canada to England. Despite the
large increase in the grain output from
tho Canadian Weal, Montreal is get
ting less of the grain freight trade
man it baa bad in recent rears.
The explsnation ia tbat freight rates
from Boston to Liverpool are one and
one-hair eenta per bushel cheaper than
rrom .Montreal to Liverpool and that
though the extra cost of transportation
of the grain from the Canadian West
to ttoaton . brings the total cost of
rreight irom tbe wheat fields to Eng
land to 12 3-4 cents in each ease, ths
insurance on the freight from Boston
a less than one-third of that on srrain
on the Montreal route outward bound.
In other words, American porta are
getting Montreal's grain export trade
because the insurance rates on grain
cargoes from those porta are about 70
per cent less than those on such freight
nom aiontreai.

Wireless Record.
San Francisco. November S. The

tcnight All wo 11. Korea."
Ihis message was also caught by the

islands, 40 miles outside the Golden
Gate.
The distance covered to and from
the Korea is 1,100 miles farther than
the distance covered by the Marconi
system on the Atlantic, and Marconi
is said to operate with a 50 kilowatt
plant. The Korea's plant ia a S kilo
watt.
The message came direct and in un
mistakable dots and dashes.
