The consequence is, no advance has been
established, and at present it does not
look as if the trade proposed TO follow II
up. Notwithstanding the strong feeling
of holders many orders are withdrawn,
and those on the market have been re-
duced in size, and in many cases in price,
so that in the end, the market closes
without much animation, and with the
belief that at reasonable prices an ample
abundance will be found, while full and
high prices will show a surplus over fu-
ture wants"
The Chamber of Commerce of Rheims
has lust published its usual highly inter
esting statistics of the trade in sparkling
wines from the period of ls44 to April,
1869. The statement shows an increase of
the transactions in champagne from nine
millions of bottles in 1914 to twenty-five
millions in 1869. However, these figures
include the sales made from one cham
payne producer to the other, sales which
have reached during the year past the
figure of six millions of bottles. 1t has
also been sscertained that Is, 1914, 900 bot
49,
ties of champagne have been sold TO con-
sumption, viz: 49, 1874 bottles shipped
to foreign countries, and S,lO4,496 bottles
used for home consumption.
During the last twenty-five years 49,
6s3, $50 bottles of champagne have been
shipped to foreign markets. The tables
show an ascendant course during that pc
Rod of years which hardly ever had been
interrupted.
On the other side it is stated that the
home consumption during the last twen-
ty-fve years has not undergone any con-
siderable change. France has consumed
every year about three millions Of bot
tles-rather less than more.
We take the following from q Nashville
exchange. 1t is important as showing
the efforts made by rival cities to in
crease their railroad facilities:
1.-THE Nashville and Northwestern Rail-
road managers have had agents in st.
Louis for the past week or two looking to
our railroad interest, the most important
feature of which is the extension of the
Iron Mountain road to some point inter-
secting with the Northwestern road. 1t
Il nE4ON9 ~ al Al1E lO I ALNcNN
of the country demands the connection of
those roads, and that its accomplishment
is only a question of time. The railroad
authorities have determined to make
some preliminary surveys this spring.
Two routes are suggested, one from Co
lumbus to some point at or near Union
CITY, and the other from Charleston to
Hickman. Plausible arguments by eX-
perienced railroad men nave been adj
vanced in favor of each OF these routes.
The contemplated surveys will determine
the choice, il is thought, when the work
OF establishing the connection viii be Wig
orously prosecuted"
