Speculation in San FraDcisco-Advice TO shippers
SAN FRANCISCO, Wednesday, March 80 1853
This strange market presenting pecuiaritle unike
any other important mart OF trade III the world Inc most
stale article Yields an immense profit to dayomorrow
nets loss San Francisco is removed from four to SIX
months from its staple supplies Specific articles OF mer
chandse are propoonay high OF low not as required by
the supply and legitimate demand for actual ana immediate
consumpon but much more according to the speculHve
and fictitious demand The great facilities for the highly
remuneratye investment of money has called here great
amount of capital both from European and Atlantic ports
Under surh state of facts combinations among specua
tors of frequent occurrence producing results the most
remarkable and the needless shipments from Atlantic ports
greatly facilitates these operations. For instance, A. B
e. CAPITALISTS having asceancd that the amount OF n"r
IN market limited and the shipments arrive moderately
light send out their agents who simultaneously make pur
chase all the large lots i'll store and to arrive ms dOe
the attention of the press called tote scarcity with few
fictitious statements of the quantity III market prepared
by the Spectator himself and in only few days .ted OF

Yesterday Mr. Spectator buys and tomorrow Hour gam

In the meanwhile YOU in New York hearing of this great
scarcity ship in two months enough Hour to last eight In

possible channel at breaking down the markets and

last eight months $3.50
Why will the shippers never use any discretion why
instead of shipping steadily an assortment OF goods whch
would create legitimate paying business Will they De mus
lured loss and n by at one time entirely diScontnuhS
shipments Of certain article and a. another by overwnen
ing the market with the same! Flour not the only are
in illustration Of the facts have shown. Scarcely lead
ing article in the market has not at some time been made
illustrative of the same position FOR iu eigh'eeh months
the market has been entirely 0versocked with iorS ana
domestic spirits notwithstanding there has not been Pc
rod Of two months during that entire time when shippers
of this article have realised the amount Of their investment
two months and there is in this port alone not less
than 600 barrels Of whisky and $4,000 barrels in bulk of
brandy in packages Of various kinds and every other
riety in proportion constituting years supply. should
there be not another gallon received You seem to forget
that this market is than supplied with all spirits of
| foreign manufacture by direct importation.
Now DO not understand me discOuragiDg shipments
In the aggregate the shipments of the past year have been
too great but it is this headlong excited manner of
shipping which depresses article far below cost at the
expense of another Of which, at the time there will
be absolute scarcity Remember that the population of
the whole Of California is than 1a that of
New York City, and you will readily perceive how easy it
is to entirely food us with any article whatever
Below give you statement Of the quantity with the
estimated monthly consumption of some of some OF
leading articles in this market which have taken
great mains to acnuire with accnrAcY:
