San Francisco: ‘merchants, Tie. ‘FARES AND FREIGHTS.— The trade, has served to wake up_the San} #Francisco.merchants.from., their Rip.

Pr OSD ERAT NERS “Francis Il is dangerously Wat at the } ‘ed that the malady is of a ty phoid nature. The Queen, ‘his own physician ern. markets. will benccesstb eand there . Will be a ready sale for California grapes at from 20 to 25 cents per pound. The reduction of rates on the railroad is gertain to follow its completion, and as __the cost of producing grapes. is proved by carefal estimates to be from three quarters to a cent and a half per pound, the profits will be" very large. From. Mr. Waite’s vineyard in this city, ‘which. covers a little less than an acre of ground, 15,000 pounds have been gathered in a single season, -It is thought that grapes can be delivered in Chicago at-from four to five cents per. pound, including cost of transportation andproduction. This would give a profit of ten cents per pound in Chicago and at least fifteen in New York, agricultural districts cannot ‘puccess— fully, compete with the mountains in the cultivation of the grape or the manufacture of wine. The western slope of the Sierras from Plumas to San Joaquin, isthe favored region for vine cul— ture on this coast, and along this district all the light wines so popular for table canbe manufactured, while the valleys can only produce successfully the heavier wines. The San Francisco Herald in speaking of . this locality for grape culture, says: “The experiments of the past in the caltivation of the grape and of wine. making have solved the problem of the fature of mining counties, and with the completion of the Pacific Railroad,opening as it does to the vine grower new and almost illimitable markets for the fresh fruit, we expect to see the business entered into with renewed energy, and upon & scale ‘that shall make productive “gg te sunny hill slopes from Los Angeles to Siskiyou. The. highest points along the Sierras to. which the successful cultivation of thé grape has~ been carried, are Murphys, in CalaveTas; Placerville and -Georgetown, in El Dorado ; Auburn, in Placer; Nevada City in. Nevada, and Downieville ,in Sierra county, where fruit of a superior quality is produced. There are no good reasons to believe the utmost limits, have been reached where the growth of Bow. vine may pens be undertakén.” . There are very many. placus higher successfully raised. The culture.of the grape is made profitable where land is worth from one to two hundred dollars per acre before planting, Here lands are cheap and any of the hillsides sloping to the north where water can_be procured for irrigation, will produce excellent grapes. -Of the character. of the mountain grapes the Herald says: “It is a marked feature in the horticul~ ture of California, that the. production of the highest localities where. fruits are grown along the foot hills of the is more firm and the fiqvor 1 more mark~ ed and aromatic than in the lower valleys.” These are the qualities which will give our mountain grapes. ‘the preference in {Eastern markéts.— Upon wine made in this State the profits will be still, larger, and the wines of California have already, become popular in the East, though much of the stuff exported might be more properly labeled vinegar. The ‘inferior wines{ OKO resulted from a total ignorance of the process of treating.”*The best wines made by Waite and Seibert will compare favorably with the best .inported wines,” The former succeeded in-producing a claret equal to the finest Bordeaux, and Seibert has made an excellent table claret, For such wines as these there will always be a liv ely demand in the East, and they. have-the ad~~ yantage ta being brouffrtearly to: their ‘best. We would make one suggestiou _ to those who purpose planting vines,and : that is to set.out none but the best va_Tieties, and .these may be ascertained “by consulting intelligent men who have engaged) in grape cultare. It costs g just as much to raise &* poor vine asa goodone. _ : The} up. than Nevada where grapes may be .

It is high time they were taking some growth of the metropolis. The Nevada Legislature has. been moving in the matter, an® some who assume to speak for the railroad say that they always intended to reduce rates as soon as the line was completed, and that the rates have been kept up to prevent shipments, because the company had not the means for transportation. The Sacramento Union has been in the van in the warfare for cheap rates, and when any demand is so urgently made as this is by the péople, it is bound to ‘be granted. We therefore confidently expect that, -with the.completion of the road, fares ‘and freights will go down. The Tailroad company will be then brought in . competition with the steamer line, and . this, if nothing else, must lead to lower rates, All that is necessary is for people to wait patiently, and continue to if Chicago can furnish goods cheaper than from San Francisco, from Chicago . they are -bound to come. ce Easrakn N EWS we.—The Herald’ 3 dis patches say Congress will probably meet on the 4th of March, and continue in session until the first or middle of April. ‘The pirate Braine has been ordered released, under Johnson’s amnesty, The Missouri Senate has memorialized Congress for an additional subsidy for the Central Pacific Railroad. ‘Tae New .Worupd.—The steamer New World now ‘connects with the California Pacific railroad at Vallejo, and the time from San Francisco to Sacraniento is three hours and -a-half.
