Hy loading tho article that nppeara In thia isauo in another column, It will bo soon that California markets aro greatly ox cited, nnd tho causes assigned will no doubt be intorcHtiug reading for our readers. Wo tako tho following from tho Ore gonianof April 7 rogoiding that mar kot: 'During tho past wcok no Lhm1ium has been reported for oxport account, nnd nt tho present timo thoro are no wheat vetfola on berth. From tho in terior come report of transactions be ing made foe San Francisco prtica on tho basis of 1 1 151 17 J heio for valley.

Many bolicvo that n pool exists to advanco prices, whilo others nro confident that tho market has been advancing on ita actual morits. A gontlcman who ia probablo tho largest shipper of whoat on tho coast, was interviewed on tho subject to day, and said : "TIcro is emphatically no syndicate formod to bull tho whoat markot. Tho renson of tho advanco has bcou tho poor prospocts for tho com ing season's crop, and tho small supply of whoat on hand. Out of this city, Stockton nnd Port Uoota warehouses, tho stock in vory light, nnd will not ex ceed 50,000 tons. This is a stato of things novor known to exist in tho Stnto bt-foro. Tho stock in Port Costn nnd San Francisco warehouses is 112,000 tons; nt Stockton, 15,000 tons; total, 127.000 tons. Add to this tho known outsido stock only 177,000 tons is visible for homo consumption or export. With tho prospocts of n very short crop and mien a small stock on hand,, llioro la no uimcuity in as signing tho causo for tho advance I think tho nnces will iro utchor yet on thia showing, and not becauso of tho supposition that n ring, cliquo or com bination is thought to he n factor of ad vancing them. Hy tho way, thoro is some talk about Nebraska wheat nnd flour being shipped hero from tho Kaat. I don't think that it will pay, for tho reason that Nebraska and such northern wheat is worth fully $10 por tou lesa thnu our own California whoat." An cntiroly opposite viow of tho caso was taken by tho uoxt grain mnn seen by tho roportor. His'viowa woro as fol lows: Thoro is n heavy lonjr interest out'in tho market probably back finan cially by tho bank crowd. Anyhow, parties wno tiro inaugurating tno proa out advancoa nro known to bo very olosoly connected with that institution. Tho nmrkot shows cloarly tho effect of concentration. I boliove tno stocK of wheat on hand In tho stato is about 200,000 tons, which ia enough for gen eral purposes. Tho idleness of n largo licet of craln shins horo ia to my idea entirely duo to tho concentration of tho markot by a rinpr. row, if prices woro released these ships could bo loaded and still lcavo 50,000 tons for homo uso, which is amplo to carry us over until the now crops comes in. At present there ate about 30,000 tons loading for tho United Kingdom. I see no limit to tho presont rise in price, especially as tho reports of tho short crop pros pects gtvo strongtu to tno situation. Another prominent wuoai snipper aald. "Of course thoro ia n com bination in tho market, Somo partief, backed nresumbably by tho bank, havo cornorcd tho wheat now on hand in tho sUto, or will havo dono so by June. Tho presont prices at which California wheat is Bold ia fully 5 shillings n quarter over parity of otlior wheats on tho huropcan market. Consequently unleaa tho rirg by some means can advanco tho Eng lish markets, they are very linblo to hnvo a whito olonhant on their hands. Tho deal hero will probably fall through. Thoro aro 250,000 tons on hand, I ilgnro in tho owto. 1 ho growing crop u good in tho northern whoat belt, and fair in tho central and southern. It will not tako over (30,000 tons to supply the homo domnnd till tho now crop cornea in July next. " Bostoa Wool Market. Uostok April 5. Wool in fair de mand.
