THE HUDSON RIVER.
II Has Been Known by at Least Twen-
ty Different Names.

In the course Of the past 400 years
the Hudson has been known by at
least twenty different names, and even
today-in New York, at any rate-it is
indilferently referred to both as the
Hudson and the North river.
While Henry Hudson is universally
acclaimed as the discoverer Of the no
BILE river which bears his name, II is
well known that nearly century be-
fore Hudson's successful exploration
John da VerraZano. a Florentine, en-
tered the mouth of the Hudson and re-
ported that he had passed up the river
about n league In boat. moi venturlng
to sail his vessel. the Dauphine. up n
river with which he was unfamiliar.
A sudden squal impeled him TO re
turn to his ship. Verrazano called the
Hudson 1.-The river of steep hills" This
was In 1924. Some years later verra-
zano's brother made n map nf the re-
gion. and he named the mouth of the
Hudson "San Germano."
In 1925 Spaniard named Gomez,
who came TO America on an exploring
trip. made chart upon which he des-
ignated the Hudson MS "San Antonio"
When some eighty years later Henry
Hudson in his efforts to reach the Fast
Indian possessions Of the Dutch East
India company by n northwestern
route accidentally ran into the Hudson
he promptly dubbed It the "Manhattes,'

dwelt at its mouth.
Hudson sailed slowly up the river as
far as Albany, and his experiences
with the Indians and his observations
of the surrounding country were so
gratifying that he returned home with
glowing reports of the new found
country.
The Dutch at once realized that great
commercial advantage might he gained
in the new territory. and various com
panies were organized to colonize and
exploit 1t.
In 1916 a charter was granted to the
New Netherlands company, and the
river was there referred to as "De RI
Were van der Worst Mauritius" In hon
or of Prince Maurice Of Orange.
In various other charters granted at
this time and public documents In
which the river was mentioned 1t was
spoken of as the "Groote Riviere," the
"Noordt river" the "River Of the Man
hattans" and the "Rio de Montague .
In addition TO these names. the In
dams had number of others for It,
among which may be mentioned "Sa-
natatea." "Shawnatawty." "Cahohata
tea" and "Cohongo:ontas."
AS late as 1854 the river was referred
to by French writer as the "River
Orange"
When the English took possession of
New Netherlands they perslstently
called the river "Hudson's river" and
despite the many other names by
which It was known that name finally

colonists spoke of 1t as the North river

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, June 12.-An advance of near
ly 5 cents at Winnipeg in the price of
wheat for July delivery and more moderate
gains at Minneapolis and Duluth caused
considerable strength in the market here
during early trading today. The uptlrn at
the Northwestern grain centres was due to
"a lively demand for cash wheat by millers.
Commission houses in general were active
bidders and offerings were comparatively
light. Prices at the start were 1s@A to
1@U5s higher, July being at 116s4 to III.
Later that option advanced to 11iA.
Notwithstanding local receipts Were con-
siderably In excess of what had been esti-
mated, the corn market was strong early in
the day, owing to buying by commission
houses and shorts. based chiefly on reports
OF excessive rains in the corn belt. The
strength of wheat also had a bullish effect.
Initial quotations showed gains of a shade
to 19q5s, with July at 70 to 1914; Early in
the day the price advanced to 733sWh.
Oats We're iirIn in sympathy with other
grain. The bulk of trading was in the
September delivery. July opened a shade
higher, at 527s, and advanced to 53q1s.
Provisions were strong at the start, par
