FLouR.-The Times and Transcript of tho
10Th inst. in reply to the communication of
correspondent, has the following interesting
remarks relative to the probable supply of -four
now on hand in the California market:
"We at present may state briefly wherein we
differ from our correspondent. He assumes that.
on the 1st of January last, our stock OF flour on
hand was 10000 barrels. Amount of flour since
received 3OS,504 barrels. Amount of wheat
since received from abroad, equal in -four, to
20,6S1 barrels. Total, 34S,585 brls. Rate Of
consumption since March lst, 42,500 brls. per
month Balance on hand-two thirds of which
he thinks is bad--55, 900 brls. On our own
part we assume, that the amount of flour on
hand, January 1st was $4,000 brls. From Ia
bles carefully kept by US, it appears that there
has been received, up to the l4th inst, OF Hour
3lS,S6l brls Wheat from abroad, equal in -four
to %, ,434 brls. Total, 366, ,295 brls. Difference,
17,710 brls. In regard to consumption aud ex-'
portaton, we see no sufficient reason to place
the rate higher, for the last seven and half
months, than 10000 brls. per month, which
would leaye balance on hand, including stock
forwarded interior, but not yet consumed, equal
to 14I, ,295 brls. Difference between ourselves
and correspondent sc ,295 brls 1t should be
recollected, however, that we include in our es-
innate everything that is nominally flour, and,
as we have repeatedly stated, believe that the
stock of sound article is small. probably not
exceeding at this time 25,0(0 brls. Still, ~e
cannot with safety predict high rates, rather
famine rates, as necessary consequence. and
we believe that if the article should materially
advance beyond the present figures, the move
ment will be purely speculative. There il .
sufficiency of wheat in the country to keep the
mills actively employed say for three months.
and the capacity of these mills is fully equal TO
one half Of the consumption. The amount of
-four to arrive, within the period named, may be
set down at from IS 900 to 10000 brls, and the
that after the 1st proximo, the ex-
ports from Chill will be large, we think is ia
vored by the prices that have ruled here for
some weeks past.
