GOLD IN WHEAT.

It has been said that the wheat of
California is worth more to that
State than its gold. A six months
review of the wheat trade of Cali
fornia shows crop, sold and unsold,
valued at s24 ,0O0, 900, and it is esti-
mated that the next crop will yield
40, 900 600 centals. The San Fran
cisco "Chronicle" has very interest
ing and exhaustive article on the pro-
duct and the wheat feet of that
State, claiming that California is the
prospective granary of nations.
England to-day looks to the Pacific
coast as Rome of old did to Africa.
The masses of the imperial city were
fed by the husbandmen of Egypt and
Africa Propria, and so the masses Of
the cities of Britain, If not of
Europe. it is claimed, will for the
future be fed mainly from the shores
of the Pacific. The increase of the
wheat trade of California is one of
the remarkable features of the his
tory of that State. 1t was not al
ways known that its golden riches
were to he sought above the soil
rather than below it, and the fact
is not even yet recognized as it ought
to be. California began exporting
wheat only seventeen years ago. In
1880 it exported about as much
as it now sends to Great Britain in a
single week, and the largest quantity
exported in any harvest year prior to
the present was in 1s69-70, the total
quantity being less by 100000 CEN
tails than it has been during the last
half year. Immense profits are real
lied from the trade. One firm, for
instance, have purchased nearly three
fourths of all exported, valued at
So, ,000, 900, and must have netted an
immense fortune. Others have been
proportionately lucky. It is esti-
mated that at the present time $50
vessels are engaged in the California
wheat trade, so that now, and for the
balance of the year, the Paci6c
through seventy and the Atlantic
through ninety degrees of latitude
will be covered with this feet, which
will thus be spread, at about half a
days sail from each other, over a
distance equal to one half the cir-
cumference of the globe.
