FLOUR MONOPOLY IN CALIFORNIA
Competition for American s~Ierehnnts.

y w. Potter, Esq, U. S. Consul at Nalparai
so, has addressed a lengthy letter 10 tho National
Tntclligcnecr, disclosing the particulars Of a con-
tract made by a company of responsible mc5-
for the purpose of mcnoPoliSing all the flour man
mractured in that coaniry for export, to supply
the California market. The ~yicldiol these mills
for which they have contracted, Is about $4,000
barrels per month, and as wheat is selling in Chill
at 81 cts. per bushcl, they calculate on being able
10 control the California market and drive off all
competition. Mr.. Potter expresses the belief that
the American shippers will hardly surrender suclI
a market as California without a contest, aid
states that American flour can, and has beer,
carried around the Horn and delivered at San
Francisco, as sweet as wien il was shipped. and
says that he recently convcrsed with an intelIi-
gent merchant, MIR. Griffin, OF Brooklyn, who
recently shipped one thousands barrels from New
York. lie said he sold the sama, as sound as
when ho Slipped it, for twenty-five dollars per
