KRAETKFS name
IS NOW VERDUN

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. s.
Shipping men were jubilant yester-
day over the announcement by the
federal shipping board that the Ger
man steamship Staatssekretar Krae-
ike had passed out of existence as a
legal entity and the American steam
ship Verdun had come into being.
News of the change in name was re-
ceived by Capt. A. F. Pillsbury, coast
representative Of the shipping board.
The practically unpronouncable Of
the steamer has been bothering men
interested in ships ever since her ar
rival June u from Honolulu, where
she was seized by the United States
government The enlightening infor-
nation that "Staatssekretar" meant
secretary of state and "Kraetke" was
the name of the official of Germany
the owners of the vessel sought to
honor did not help much in getting
over the hurdle of pronunciation. A
compromise was effected by calling
the ship the Kraetke
1t is said to be the intention of the
shipping board to give all the former
German steamships names in the
same fashion as the Kraetke, with the
appellations of places made famous
in the war being given the preference

christened are the Mark, Bochum,

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 10.-The
Upswing in the sugar market which
has within the past week lifted prices
of the raw product to the highest
levels reached in overweight years,
shows no sign of abatfng and with
the end of the cane-grinding season
close at hand, there is much specula-
ton at the moment as to whether
raws will sell up to or above the high
price of 81 cents a pound reached
in July, 1889. With local refining in
terests limiting deliveries to actual
necessities of purchasers, so as to pre-
vent boarding and speculative activity,
the situation is lacking in no element
that makes for firmness as to price,
put no one is inclined to make any
predictions as to what levels prices
will ultimately go.
In discussing the situation recently,
Henry ST. Goar, of the firm of Ed
ward POLITE & Co., and recognized
authority on sugar matters, said:
For some time past the raw and
refined sugar market has ruled strong
and active at steadily advancing prices
with a strong inquiry and rather
moderate sales to American and Ca
madam refiners. There has been a
heavy demand for raws and moderate
sales of refined for export, together
with an equally heavy demand from
the domestic distributing and manu-
featuring trade, which has been only
partially satisfied.

RESOLUTION CHANGED
BY BOARD IS ILLEGAL

At the last meeting of the board
of supervisors a resolution was intro
duced appropriating $4,000 out of the
general fund to pay the interest on
the improvement bonds. Because the
general fund is low the board amend.
ed it to read out of tie permane nt
fund.- and in its new form it passed
first reading.
Now A. NJ. Cristy, deputy city at
torney, says the amendment was it,
legal as interest on bonds is not a
permanent improvement and the
money must come out of the general
fund AS a result the board must
again amend the resolution to its
original form.

Additional inquiry of considerable
proportions has been noted for export

transshipment to Greece and also for
direct shipment to Northern Africa;
but it has been noted, too, that for
eisn powers have been willing to pay
above the parity of the highest prices

export business are so heavily sold
ahead that it is difficult for purchas-
ers to have any business OF impor-

of the California beet sugar crop
would make up any shortage of the
cane sugar supply, but we are in
formed that most California beet pro-
ducers have already sold their pro-

cannot reasonably be expected to
reach the territory of Chicago and the
West until late in the month-and
probably, as far as the Chicago and

until the opening days of Septem-
