WHEAT FOB THE ORIENT.

The letter OF James ]. Hill, president
OF the Great Northern Railroad, pointing
out the possibility OF developing a large
grain trade between the Pacific Coast and
the Orient, is one which will be read with
no little interest by the people of Califor-
MIA. 1t promises benefits both to the mer-
camille ano to the farming industries of
the coast and opens up field of enter
prise we'll worthy the most serious consid.
Grafton that can be given TO it.
According to Mr.. Hill, it is possible
for the wheat prod ucers of the Pacific
Coast TO find a market for their products
in the Orient not only sufficiently large to
consume all OF the current output OF
wheat, but to furnish demand for it
which would enable us to largely increase
the supply without any dminution of
price. In the province OF Annoy, China,
there are $4,000, ,00J Of people, and if these
consume an average OF twenty pounds OF
-four per capita yearly, they would make
market for 40, 000, ,000 bushels of wheat
in that province alone. Other districts of
China near the sea and accessible to ships
would make additional markets for an
equally large amount. 1t seems, more
over, that We have only 20 supply the
wheat at reasonable rates in order to In
crease the Chinese use of it, and therefore
the outlook for an abundant market for
our wheat tlelds is most excellent.
In the past year We have shipped a good
deal of wheat to China and Japan, and
the result has been to reduce the amount
going to Europe, so that there has been q
rise in the price. Mr.. Hill states that the
price Of wheat this year as compared with
last is from 20 to 25 cents higher, and he
thinks that from Is to Is cents of this rise
is clearly due to Withdrawals of Pacific
wheat from the European markets. The
necessary conclusion is, therefore, that if
we could find in the Orient a market for
all our wheat, there would be better prices,
not only for the Pacific Coast crops, but
tor those OF the East, and the whole farm
ing population of America would be bene.
flied.
To accomplish the opening OF this
enormous market for our wheat products
1t is certainly worth while paying good
price. In bis letter Mr.. Hill suggests that
the new tariff should be arranged in such
manner as to promote the Oriental
trade. Ii this means that we are to open
the Pacific Coast markets TO the cheaply
manufactured goods OF China and Japan
it might be found within few years that
we are paying too high a price for the
new wheat MARKET. In the present con.
dition of our industrial development we
need more factories rather than more
wheat fields, and it would not benefit Us
much to sell wheat to the Orient if we had
TO sacrifice our manufacturing industries
to do 1t. Mr.. Hills proposition is worth
considering, but is not to be adopted too
hastily.
