and will move? over to the Southern Pa
clflo dock,.' where aha will begin taking
on cargo for the 'outward voyage. The
f int freight aha will receive will be a
.consignment of flatcara. There are 14
of these In the lot, and the lightest
'pieces weigh aoroe five ton each. From
.the Southern Pacific dock the steamer
will move down to the flour mills, where
the major portion of her cargo will be'

. The floors of the Alaska dock ara
trewn with oriental goods of every de
scription which have been taken from
the steamer's hold. Custom-house offi
cials are busily employed looking them
.over and making entrlea in their note
books. .This morning they were pussling
-their brains over a couple of lots of
sugar, each lot containing 2,000 sacks.
One lot waa branded with a diamond "P"
, nd marked "Extra fine"; the other bora
a diamond "P," underneath which had
been written the . word Fine." The
sugar bad been , shipped In sacks ex
actly alike, and the only difference in
. the two brand a waa the word "Extra."
Both shipments ara consigned to two
different local firms, and each of them
ts claiming the sugar which Is encased
, In the sacks bearing the word "Extra."
In order to aatlsfy the members, of
both firms, the conclusion has been
.reached to divide the fine Aiid extra fine
sugar equally between them. A compar
ison of the two brands was made this
' morning In the presence of a large gath
ering of disinterested persons, who de-
: cided that there is but little difference
between the two grades of sugar.
