Fridat Morsi.vg, Mar. 21, 1ST!). WHEAT. This is IxM'oming a sulyoct of some little imMOitiinre in Utah Territory by rrason of if being the only weal product we are enabled to export to any extent, and except minerals, forming the principal basis of our outgoing commerce, as well as bum;? the chief dependence of our people Thexe fact comfor sustenance. t in a conspicuous wheat bine place our population as anil position here, increase, the product enlarges and more extended traffic with the commercial world is engaged in, its importance expands in proportion and more interest is creuted as to the question of its production and what sh.dlbe done with the surplus, if any, when produced. Considerable, and to some, extent as we look at it unnecessary, forebodings as to scurcity are indulged in on the part of our grangers. Their vision is drawn to the summits of the Wasatch mountains where exist the natural reservoirs which have all along supplied the requisite aqueous nourishment for the cultivation of our crops, and seeing thore a more meagre supply of snow than lias customarily been the case at this ration of the year, tliey indulge in misgivings which though perfectly natural are nevertheless not so well grouudud as a careful inspection of of , tlift situation and compariwould support. of data son In tha first place, allowing the population of Utah who depend upon internal resources for breadstuff's to be 120,000 a liberal estimate, we think and comparing the consumers with the supply, we find a gratifying equation. The total hold-ove- r supply from last and previous seasons foote up in round numbers 285,000 bushels; the total amount of shipment contracts thus far, including the present contract of Z. C. M. , I., reaches something less than leaving a surplus of old wheat Now of at least 175,000 bushels. supposing that this year only of a crop, through scarcity of water and other causes, is raised; basing oitr calculations upon only the yield of last year, we would then have about 335,000 bushels, which added to the amount above stated, shows a total supply of 505,000 bushels to depend upon, or say 4 bushol bushels per hood, or one-hal- f more than the average consumption of each Individual, as shown by sta tistics, independent of corn and other grain whkh are used for human food to a greater W less extent. Again, if there should be a half yield, we would then have, after the next har vest, fully six bushels pereupiU ample for breadstuff's and seed, Lastly, U thq crop should bo full and the present condition of winter wheat with the certainty of there being liberal rainfalls prefigure such result there would be such a sur- tuwa would cost " more than its worth in storage, handling, etc., and it would be difficult to dispose of it at any figure. In yesterday morning's Juncthin we publishod a telegraphic report of the condition of the wheat crop in California. This showed the pros pective yield as greatly in excess of the average. The hold-ove- r supply of last year in that State was the en ormous figure of 800,000 tons, of which BOine 450,000 tons have been shipped, leaving 350,000 to be added to the yield of. the present season. Ther are only 43,000 tons of disrn in San Francisco, with a prospect of 108,000 more during the season, not enough to export one-hal- f of the prospective surplus of t hat State alone; so that we have a secondary dependence there which can te relied upon should the worst come to the. worst, a circumstance to which good judgment, reason and cold figures do not point. The question now arises as to' whether, in view of the enormous wheat supply prefigured for the close of the present season, it is not better to make the most of existing opportunities by disposing of some of our present surplus while it can be done advantageously, thus obviating a gorge of the article such as would inevitably result disastrously to those who produce and deal in the article. If our exports do not at least equal our imports, we gradually to poverty reduce ourselves and what shall we export? The mass of the people do not engage in mining r.nd they are left with Jittle besides their wheat to bring them the means with which to purchase new supplies and discharge such obligations a may be connected wit a previous transactions. Statesmanship, . 110,-000- one-thir- ; cure common prosperity, and the section which permits itsulf to receive mare than it sends out, is rapidly gravitating towards decadence and and while the instincts of nature and the provident disposition which experience engenders show that it is not wise to part with the hist kernel, or with such quantity as would prejudice our prospects of sustenance, we cannot but deprecute the carrying out of this policy to such extent as would produce stagnation if not ruin. It is not the part of wise men to permit any measure of public importance to become a mania with them, for they are thereby blinded at times when the greatest good consistent with the state of trade is unseen. Our commercial men have done and are doing a good work. The amount of wheat which they have contracted to export is but a tithe of our supply, present and prospective, and can be spared, while the money which it will bring is needed. Tonnage is in demand, and when it is secured let us make the most of it. The stores pay good prices for wheat, many of them paying in merchandise the equal of what or greater amounts than they receive in turn, depending for their profits solely up on the gain accruing from the disposition of their goods, out of which must come freightage, storage and handling, Ac. The people who have large quantities have thus an excellent opportunity for supplying themselves with articles which they need while disposing 4f only that which they do not need. We feel justified in stating that no harm will result from the present grain movement, but that much good may be accomplished. G EX Ell A L HOTELS. the experience of those MERCHANDISE. A. K.
