THE WINE MARKET.

During the present year q slow but steady c:.anee
has taken place In the wine market but unfortu-
nately the change has been from bad to worse. At
present the stocks OF foreign wines and spirits are
smaller than at any time during the past few years.
and, 1t Is anticipated, will fall far short Of future
requirements. The stock Of Spanish wines in first
hands to-day is estimated as low as five hundred
quarter casks, while in previous years no less than
three thousand quarter casks have been held in this
market. The stock Of Marsees wines is proper
tiOnately small-not exceeding seven thousand
quarter casks against forty.nve thousand quarter
casks the stock Of 1885, An impression prevails that
this article is likely to command much higher price
in the present state Of the market than 1t ever
realized before. Brandies are in very limited re-
quest; the stock is small but sun1cient for the
demand, although in ordinary times 1t would fall
far short Of requirements Domestic whiskey, hav-
ing superseded the use Of foreign goods Is exceed
ingly lively
The business Of foreign importation has fallen of
to a most alarming extent; the leading merchants,
who in former years were in the habit OF replacing
their foreign stock as soon as 1t had passed into
second hands, have lately been giving their atten-
tion to and investing their capital IN the domestic
trade the present ruin0us tariff preventing further
tmpOrtat.Ons.
