wines manufactured here and elsewhere.

adulteration here, and some on large

trade, but dealers naturally decline TO give

water, favored and colored to suit
emergencies. The opinion OF the
best-informed California dealers here is that

now being vigorously handled here, is
wanted for the protection Of the native wine

in the manufacture of spurious white and
