The present indications arc TINT the Con-
grossional Conference Committee on tho tor
ia will recommend m increase of duty on
Light foreign wines. There Is some differ
cnce between tho Eouse end Senate aB to the
exact amount. but both agroo On substan-
hal increase. Tho present System for collect
ing the duties on wines is very complicated,
ana tlere ought to bo n change; but this
change should not embrace an increase Of
duty, but rather decrease, if the rate 10 to
be different At present, tho duty on still
Tines is % conts gallon On wincs costing
not mors than 10 cents OF tho place Of OK
port; 90 cents on wines costing not more
than 81; 81, md rs per cent al yalore'n, on
mora costly wlnes. Under this tariff, the i'm
partations Tor 1873 wora aa follows:

VINES Ia5ii:g 90 cent? gallon, ,,,......... 757, ,aI0
"nea pa,nR II "na 2s Fer centn per gallon. 2l7dao
This Elbows that tho light wines under low
tariff vera imported in largo qunntitios, while
tho au,ount Of those Of higher prico and duty
was comparatively a,nnll. Now the House
Committee desire to rolso tho duty on wines
ut present paying duty Of o5 cents to 10
cents per gallon, while the Gena!o Committee
IRE satisfied with 10 eonts. The bill Is re-
ported will probably fix the duty somewhere
botween 10 and 90 cents. Euoh course
would Lave three direct results.
