San Francisco is said to be the only
seaport of the United States employ
ing more American than foreign ton
mage. In 1879 American vessels
brought into San Francisco goods
valued at nearly thirty millions OF
dollars, while fereign vessels brought
less than ten millions. The grain eX-
ports last year employed vessels with
l24, ,6S3 American tonnage and 10l 40
foreign tonnage-these grain cargoes
nearly all being bound 20 ports on the

San Francisco and all her trade with
the islands in the Pacific Ocean are
said to be almost exclusively con-
