California Wines.

We are pleased to see that the
shipments of California wines to
the States continues to grow larger
and more frequent. The last
steamer from San Francisco for
New York carried upward of 81, 900
gallons. We note also that the
growing excellence of our native
brandles is driving the French
almost entirely out of market,
not by the price alone but by its in
herent good qualities also.
On this subject the Comm ercial
Herald, San Francisco, says:
ut is cheering to see The hold
that our better kinds of native
wines are obtaining, both here aud
at the East, and, in fact, the world
over. Our exchanges from all
quarters Of the new and old world
come to us freighted with tidiugs
Of good respecting California
wines, and we are quite sure that
whenever and wherever pains are
taken to procure good aud genu-
inc article of our native wines
from houses of good repute, there
will be no disappointment.
AS for native California wines sent
East, many thousands of gallons
have been purchased by Eastern
houses, by runners, or other ire
sponsible parties, who, in their
anxiety to sell, have forced off
great quantities of trash--wiDe
that had not been properly cured,
and perhaps "pricked," and this
stuff has been palmed Off on the
unsuspecting Casters people as a
fair quality of pure California
wine. But happily these things
are now coming to the light, and
we thiuk better and brighter day
is soon to dawn upon our California
wine industry"
