R package xtsExtra issue to plot a multiple ts

My aim is to get 1 plot in which there is multiple times series with an auto legend to identify the series. In my CSV file I have 5 columns (agri, food, fuel, manu, ores) starting from January,1996.

library(xts)
library(xtsExtra)
RuChAgri <- read.csv("https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6421260/Forum/RuChAgri.csv", sep=";")
#transform csv data according to R ts 
RuChAgri <- ts(RuChAgri, start = c(1996, 1), frequency = 1)
#try to get 1 plot with multiple ts with an auto legend
plot.xts(RuChAgri, screens = factor(1, 1), auto.legend = TRUE)

When I run last line I get the error:

Error in try.xts(x) : 
  Error in xts(x.mat, order.by = order.by, frequency = frequency(x),
 .CLASS = "ts",  :   NROW(x) must match length(order.by)

Does someone know what is wrong with my code?

Your ts object isn't well-constructed. The series is monthly, so the frequency should be 12, not 1.

RuChAgri <- ts(RuChAgri, start=c(1996, 1), frequency=12)

Then you should convert it to an xts object and then call plot.xts by calling plot. You really shouldn't call plot.xts directly, even though it tries to convert the object you give it to an xts object...

x <- as.xts(RuChAgri)
plot(x, screens=factor(1, 1), auto.legend=TRUE)
