CHICAGO VERSUS SAN FRANCIsCo-The
California papers, and particularly the press
of San Francisco and Sacramento, are agita-
ting the subject of traffic, as to supplying the
commercial wants of this coast, and the CON
tingences of rivalry over this traffic, as be-,
tween Chicago and San Francisco. Without
going into statistics or elaboration of our views
now, we will simply remark that. unless the
Pacific Railroad, when completed shall give
the great trade marts of the East an advant-
age in supplying the States and Territories OF
this coast with everything which is at present
sent from the Atlantic ports, by ocean, to San
Francisco, then the road will fail in the accom-
plshment of one of the chief objects which
the advocates of that great enterprise have al
ways claimed for it, and San Francisco mer
chants cannot, we hardly think, fail to see this
On the other hand, San Francisco will Away,
possess the advantage in the supply traffic o
all articles which are produced "n this coast
But it is quite likely that Idaho will find heI
supply markets with better advantage-al
tlings the West, say at Chicago
St Louis and other great marts. than III Sai
Francisco. Another year or 50 will solve Tn
| problem, ut all events; but we think the yon
