BarUeahlp Vortk Dakota X Fastest , Dreadnaught Afloat. - Rockland, Mc Nov. 5. Ths North Dakota's screw standariaatioa tests over the Bockland meaaured mile course today developed a maximum speed of 22.25 knots, aa average of 21.833. Both marks are in excess of the best per formances of either her sister ship, the pelaware, or the Belterophoa, the lead ing Dreadaaughi of the British navy. In attaining thia speed the turbine engines of tea North Dakota were forced to the development of more horsepower than haa beea reached by any battleship afloat. A maximum of 35,150 horsepower was recorded, while 33,870 horsepower was the mean amount. The maximum number of rev olutions of her nickel composition pro pellers was 286 a minute. It was found tint 868 revolutions in this time were sufficient to maintain ths contract speed of 21 .knot. - i "The North Dakota briber perfona anoe today takes precedence aa a gen eral first-class battleship. The figures recorded today surpass those of any other Dreadnaught. Ther ia butf on such battleship afloat the attainments of which may exceed those of the North Dakota. This is the Neptune, just launched for the British navy. The Neptune, however, will have to attain figures much in excess of specif cations to accomplish thia.

Frelgnt rates have brought about a curious eituatioa in connection with the shipment of grain from Canada to England. Despite the large increase in the grain output from tno Canadian West, Montreal ia get ting less of the grain freight trade than it haa had in recent years. The explanation ia that freight rates from Boston to Liverpool are ene and one-half cents per bushel cheaper than from Montreal to Liverpool and that though the extra cost of transportation of the grain from the Canadian West to Boston brings Aha total cost of freight from the wheat fields to Eng land to 12 8-4 cents ia each ease, the insurance on the freight from Boston 1 less than one-third of that on grain oa the Montreal route outward bound. In other words, American porta are getting Montreal 'a grain export trade because the insurance rates on grain cargoes from those ports are about 70 per cent less than those oa such freight Horn Montreal,- - ABBOOBAM AT 406 MILES, Pacific Mall Liner Korea Hang Up Wireless Becord, --,'. 1 San Francisco, November fl.
