SAN FRANCISCO, May 11th. The plentiful showers of rafe that bare foten during the pist mouth are given usurnace of vich hauvet and general prosperity to tho State. The only exception to this hus ocurred in a portion of the great San Joaquin Valley, where the sell is dry and absorptive, and will usver ufford any certainly in its pid biti after the Intmduction of an effective system of irrigation. The season is you so far dvanced tbut the otherwise injurious in lueues of the hot dry winds, which are preinlegt alust this sime, need nas, be feared, and it is safe from all accounts, to estimate the tertbooming wheat crop at but less than from 3 to 40 million bashcle. According to statistics forsished from Washing tou the total value of wheat and four exported From Ustorina in 1873 amounted to$21,895,428, the exports hom sa other Sites of the Union for the same four were valued at $79,306,149, For about four times as much as was produced by California alone. To move the anticipated erop 500 or 660 skips of 1,000 tons emak will be required. The Grangers bare nlreadygaged 60 vessels for the purpose of shipping their own „grain to the United Kingdom at midsummer.] They are led-on the eve of establishing a bank, with a capital of $5,000,000, ia the interest of the farming community; but the altimate access of the Granger movement cannot as yet be predinted with any degree of certainty, and OLD only be hoped for by religious abaticence on their part from politics.
