Whaling vessels in the north Pacific, attracted by
the convenience of the magnificent harbor of San
Francisco, will resort there in numbers for sup
plies. These, added to the increased number OF
government vessels on the coast, will augment the
consumption of produce; but, at present, beyond
their necessities, the farmer will find no imPor-
tant sale for his crops. limited number OF
mechanics might do well, who, by close industry,
may soon acquire competency. Such classes OF
persons required all over the country, and as
it becomes more populated, the demand for them
must increase.
