Jhedlander'a Opinion on the Wheat Trade.
Mr. Frledlander has Issued his annual olr
ealar giving his vIovtb of tbe whoat trado
and probablo surplus, together with an
analysis of tbe mistakes of the last harvest
year. After rovlowltiK tho fluctuations which
havo occurred In tlio grain marts of the
world tltirlnir the pant your, Mr. Frlodlan
dor rornarks of tlio KdrIIhIi market:
It was not until war was declared, and tho
troops nctually In motion, (hat tho trado
awoke to the realities of thoir poHlllon and
found thomholven with hhort Htonks, baro
markots abroad, and orio of tho ureal sotirO'
cs of supply cut oil. At otino an active de
mand set In for all descrlnttons of bread
ninth, and prices roso rapidly until 70s per
quarter wai roiicliod for lioino-Krown wheat
the hlKhest point touobod since 18(JU. Fnin
this point It Kradunlly recodod ai It bocamo
more ovldenttbat tuo war would bo local
Jzod, and with lino woather and a brilliant
crop prospect, tho trade now shows groat in
dliroronco about buying, and tho market Is
going along from hand to mouth. It Is now,
Ewovcr, llablo to sudden revulsions from
many oxtrauoous causes, and it would not be
at alia matter of surprise to see a Jump of
from Cs to 10a a quarter at any tltno boforo
the gathering of the now harvest, Certain
ly a fortnight of soon weather as prevailed
In Eogland In Angntt, 1876, would bring
such a change about very easily, and even
without any inch desperate causes it Is hard
to see how some advanoe can be avoided be
fore the new grain becomes available.
Of tbe grave errors which were made ear
My last season In estimating tbe probable
yield, the oiroular stya:
Tbe impression was quite general that a
surplus of 1,000,000 tone would be reaobed;
tkatjwe would export 800.000 was thought
probable by very conservative peoplo, while
hardly any one Imagined that we could fall
abort of 700,000 tons. We shipped 007(000
and here the great mistake of the season
commenced. The prloe of wheat was dis
turbed by tbls supposed surplus, and for
weeks and weeks buyors could not mako up
their minds to pay the prloes now known
to have boon fairly domandod by growers
On the other hand, tho price of ships and
freights was disarranged mostsorlously, tbe
opinion prevailing that wo wore short of
tonnago. whon in reality wo woro abundant
ly supplied, lletween tho two mistakes the
trado Joit a magnificent opportunity, and,
unfortunately, It passod without profit to
any ono. During tho year 313 voisola. en
tirely or In part whoat-Iaden, left Hatt Fran
cisco. Of tlir-so 301, carrying 10,-11,-101 ecu
UIm, went to ICuropo.
ProHpro'H of tho prosont crop aro sum mod
tip kh follows:
woarnuow unionog upon h now crop,
and It tu i.v not Its out of oritur, while giving
our best jutltftiiout lis to its amount and
quality, to take n glance ut tho prohibit)
futuriMiftlio mirkot. Tho planting season
was a most iiutironltlous one. very few dis
tricts of thn Mutto having been favored with
sulllalont moisture to enable thn farmers to
get their crops properly In the uround,
wlillo In ninny and those somo of the most
oxtonHlvo not enough rain fell nil through
tbo wlntor to admit of plowing at all, Kviin
In tlio moit favored HtrIoU, tho amount
that fell was barily sulllnlont to mako tho
crop, and in these only the bostoultlvatod
Aolds gve a full ylsld, In many parts
volunteer and winter sown grain was an en
tiro failure, and all through tho southern
part of the Stato tho fields wero bare, except
In a few spots where Irrigation was practic
ed. A sort of mildew, too. overtook tbe
erop during the soring, attacking the best of
the grain, and although the dsinage proved
less than was at one time feared, there is no
doubt that U shortened the crop In a moasure.
The estimates of yield are, of course, vory
muoli varied, some planing our surplus for
export as high as .100,000 to 400,000 tons of
3,000 lbs. This Is, however, almost univer
sally considered tno'hlgh, but many believe
wo will have liaO.OOO to '300,000 tons. We,
ourselves, look on the first of those as ex
treme, and are not dlsposod to put it even at
1100,000 tons. Tbe quality of I ho grain prom
ises to bo fully up to theaversKe, and as tbe
bullcnf the crop will be grown In the north
ern part of thoHlate. the proportion of t Hot
ly white whoat will bo larger than usual.
Tho Oregon wheat crop of lB7il 77 was on
the wbolo not tin to the average In yield nor
In the quality of the gralnt but the one now
ripening will undoubtedly be the largest
ver harvested In tha t Ntale, and from what
we oan learn there Is no matou to doubt that
It will boa superior ono In every respeut. It
bulllucultto ssy what tbosutplus for export
will be, but we shall not bn surprised if it
reaches 100,000 to '.900,000 tons.

Cali'ornla Markets.
Wo copy tho following fromttho San Fran
cisco Commercial Herald, July 12th:
There continues tonxtsta wonderful detrreo
of apathy respecting tho chartering of ships
for grain carrlago lo tho United Kingdom.
Freights rulo low, say from 40s to 42 Od.tho
former rate for largo carriers lo a direct port,
IT, K , tho lattor rate to Cork or Falmouth,
U. IC. Disengaged tonnago continues to ac
cumulate with very little outsldo business
offering. There Is, however, an Inquiry
from Oregou for an iron ship, and for this
OSsis asked and 65s offered.
Having entered upon a new harvest year,
we have dispatched tbe ahlp Oracle to Cork
with a full cargo of wheat, being tbe plonoer
vessel of the fleet of 1877-6. The receipts of
whoat and barley ol tbe new nrop continue
to reach us very sparingly, farmers holding
back their crops In a surprising manner.
We are, however Informed that purchases of
wheat In Stockton havo recently been made
to some extent for export at very full figures,
probably bought by some exporter that has
a ship chartered whose lay days are about to
expire. Tbe market for Feed stuff Is quite
active and at vonr remunerative prloes. Or
egon Is now sending to us large supplies of
wool, salmon, flour, whoat, oats, fruit, and
other produce, receiving therefor good
prices.
Wiiicat. The receipts of new crop aro as
yet of trifling moment, farmers continuing
to wlthold their grain from market. Home
purchases are, however, reported at Stockton
snd at full (Inures but tho details aro with
held. Exports are light, nor do wo seo tho
slightest disposition In any quarter to enter
exlenatvoly into thn business of shipping
wheat to tbo United Kingdom oven at the
current low and nominal rates of (Volant,
Cholcnold milling wheat commands $2 25 to
$2 30; fair to good shipping, $2 15 lo $2.25 per
cental.
