Trade of the Future-Result Of Rail
road.

IO8Q.
The opening Of at least two great rail-
roads within the next ten years has be.
come fixed certainty, based upon the
great commercial necessity Of tho world
Of trade and speculation and enterprise,
aside from the defensive and conservative
requirements of United States Govern
ment-the one with Pacific terminus at
Vallejo and Bcnicia. with heightened
curve terminating at San Francisco, the
other at some point not ye: determined
upon Puget Sound. What is to be the
effect Of the opening Of these roads? Ad.
hitting for moment that San Francisco
arrests every cargo from the ocean, and
Vallejo and Bcnicia become to her what
Jersey City is to New York. What then
will b. the trade of San Francisco? What
will she gain beyond what she now en-
joys? What will she loose of what she
now monopolizesl The increased trade
Of the interior will b. very large. and as
now, she will supply California, Nevada,
Utah and the Colorado country with the
productions of the Pacific countries Of
China. Japan and the Islands generally.
All these combined, make but a small
percentage of her present trade. The
great trade of San Francisco consists in
European and American manufactures, and
produce generally Of the Atlantic States.
and that trade she will efectually loose
within three years Of the opening Of the
road. The wholesale distributing hou,es
from Salt Lake to Sacramento will obtain
their supplies Of European and Eastern
goods direct from the East, and scarcely
stand by and allow their stocks to 60 hun.
dreds or thousands of miles BY their door
returning Ella San Francisco. So the whole.
sale distributors from Cincinnati to Sac
ramento will not allow the Pacific pro.
ductions to pass them for return ria New
York Or Philadelphia. but draw them d.
rectly from San Francisco. So in posting
up the trade ledger, San Francisco, ad-
hitting the Central road to be first opened.
gains the monopoly Of supply of thu whole
west and southwest, with all the innu-
merable family of wants of Pacific pro.
auctions, now drawn from China and Else
where ria the cities of New York, Boston
and Philadelphia, and loses the monopoly
Of supply to this border of Eastern and
European manufactures and provisions.
The French. English, and other European
houses Of San Francisco will r~mov. to
Portland. Boston. OF New York. aud the
greet "China" HOUSES of New York, Phil.
sdelphia and Boston. will remove to San
Francisco. Is local necessity TO facilitate
their continued supply TO the vest and
southwest Thus may b. foos~d mp the
