REPoRTs of the wine crop in France vary
widely in different districts. From the
champagne region the yield will be an
a 1erage one, some 100000 or 10000 900
bottles; but, except Tor late heavy rains
the Weld would have been that of grand,
Gines. Meanwhile, prices at Ay are still
going up, although the advance is not SC
great as last year. In Lower Burgundy
the wine prospects are satisfactory, but in
the upper regions the quantity will be
short. Drought in the south has done
much harm, and gives an outlook of very
short crops. From Touraine and Saumu-
rois reports are excellent; from Charente,
Cognac, and Angouleme, in vineyards
spared by the frost and the Phylloxers,
they are tolerable; from Annis and Sam
tonge they are very poor, but from the
Gironde and Garonne valleys the quality
is reported good and the yield large-some
10000 or 100000 hectolitres more than
last wear.

The growth OF the telegraph system in
Japan has been rapid. 1t was introduced

comprised 1929 miles of line and 9,S45
miles of wire. During last year the total
number of kilograms reached 1872, 1856, OF
which about 96 per cent were in japanese.
Including the five submarine cables the
total receipts were se1OS, 323, and the ex-
.penditures elOI, 673. 1t was the first year
when the lines returned an excess of rev.

OF so miles, the average rate is about 8 sen,
or little less than cents. This is taking
/ he entire line from Toxic to Nagasaki as
2 basis. But for shorter distances the rates
are higher. From Toxic to Yokohama
messages are transmitted for sen, or II
