INTERESTING FIGURES. - The Alta con.
ains the commercial and financial statistics
of this State for the first niue months of
1866, prepared with much care and ability.
From the figures presented the material
progress and solid improvement of the
State are placed beyond all question. The
exports of domestic produce show the
gratifying increase in value of S2,s1l,7S9
over the corresponding period of the previ
Gus year, 1865. This result is chiefly
owing to the increased expectations of
byeadstuffs. The increase in grain and
-four has been $3,665,ll4 10. This result
is chiefly owing to the increased exporta-
tions of breadstutfs. The increase in grain
and eour has been $3,G65,ll4 10. This
result would be still more gratifying but
for the lack Of Sufficient tonnage to export
the grain and -four. Commission merchants
have been compelled to store great quantities
and their operations have consequently been
materially retarded. Our largest customer
for flour has been China Australia and
New Zealand have purchased of wheat and
flour together, TO The amount Of 5,643,-
So. China has purchased to the extent of
S9lQ,376 %, and Great Britain has taken
$500, ,205, worth OF wheat. Thus it will be
seen that these markets have already paid
US $3,432,268 OF in exchange for our domes-
tic produce during the present year. The
Eastern States have taken $ll0,232 81 Of
wheat from our shores. In California wines
there has been progressive movement, and
the value has reached $l47,975 nearly
double that of last year. The aggregate
exports from San Francisco for the first
nine months of the present year exceed those
of 1865 for the same period by about So
1888 rs, which is amcst entirely due to
our agricultural resources.
