THE SCHEDULE OF Wine PRICES.
Five Years Options on the Products
of Our Vineyards.
Conditions Under Which the Grape and
Wine Crops are TO be Handled
by Syndicate.
IS. f. Examiner. June 10Th. ]


Details of the wine syndicate are COM
mencing to appear. The syndicate is
composed of the leading San Francisco
dealers, who propose to incorporate with
capital of Sl0,000,000, turning over to the
new organization all of their realty ma
chinery. stock, etc., and receiving in re-
turn shares i'll the new company. This
will aggregate between S4,000,000 and S.
600, ,0C0, free of incum brances, OF which
81, ,000,0 900 will be in real estate. To fix
the valuation upon it a committee from
the Savings Union and the Hibernia and
the German savings banks viii be APP
pointed. who will rate as between the
different concerns.
A similar plan will be followed as to
the other assets of the firms to be turned
into the pool. About Sl,000,000 will be
required as a working capital, for the
purchase OF grapes, vines, etc., and d
number of the city banks stand ready 10
advance, preferring such security TO loan
ing money to individual vlneyardlsts.
whose ranches, in Tar too many cases,
are heavily mortgaged.
Aside from any other considerations OF
prospective profit, it is held that the
scheme will be a money making affair
from the greater economy which Will re-
suit from the Capitalization of the trade.
Less expensive help will be required,
and, instead of numerous commercial
travellers and agents of all OF the princi-
pal houses In the chief Eastern cities,
fewer drummers on the road, and only
one agent at each populous center will be
needed. Ii the plan is to take definite
shape, which now appears probable, all
Of the arrangements must be made be-
fore the first of August. at which date the
handling of the new crop OF grapes and
wines must begin.
SCHEDULE OF PRICES.
The schedule of prices to be paid di-
vides the wines into classes. Heretofore
the producers have often been compelled
to take the same figure for the better
qualities as for the inferior grades. The
prices, too, are so scheduled that one OF
the effects, it is believed, will be to dis
courage the poor varieties of vine and en-
courage the planting OF resistants to
which only high-grade grapes will be
grated. These latter are less prolific
bearers than the common varieties, but
the prices to be obtained will make up
for the loss in quantity. The schedule is
confined to dry wines, and is as follows:
The record-union., 1894-06-20
PROVISIONS or THE CoNTRACrs.

1t is provided by the contracts that
sound wines now in cellar are to be paid
at 10 cents q gallon. except the varieties in
the second and the third classes desig-
mated by an X. These are to be valued
by expert arbitration and taken by the
pool at that rate. The wines of 1893 or
older must be removed before September
10Th next. 1t is required that all wines
Shall contain at least IL per cent. of alco-
hol by volume and that they must be de-
livered at a railroad terminal point. Pay
ments are to be made, one-third immedi-
ately after the receipt of the goods, one
third by three months acceptance, and
one-third by six months acceptance.
All future wines are to be accepted on
or before Decem ber 3lst of each year and
to be removed by the 1st day of March
following. Should any wines remain in
the hands of the seller after March 1st
the purchaser will pay the owner of such
wines ! of a cent per gallon more for
every month after March lst such wine is
stored.
GRAPES AND WINES.
In the options for grapes the number of
acres and each variety in vineyard are
to be specified and the quantity estimated.
If it should not be as great as anticipated.
the grower is not to be held to be respon-
sible for any deficiency. On the other
hand, if there should be an excess, IL is to
be included in the sale. In the case of
wines, estimates are to be made on the
different varieties, and if the quantities
be diminished by accident or natural
causes, the sale is only TO apply to the
actual quantity delivered. Finally, it is
provided that if on delivery of the wine
the purchaser be dissatisfied with the
quantities shown by the gauge marks on
the packages he may have them gagged
by public gauger. whose lawful charges
shall be borne by the purchaser and
seller in equal parts. If satisfactory, the
same may be gagged by weight.
Reports from the wine districts indicate
that the plan will be quite generally ac-
cepted by the grape-growers and the
wine-producers. z. G. Rossi, who re-
turned yesterday from Sonoma County,
says that there is practical nnanimity
In that section, while Herman Bendel
states that yiticulturists will be lacking
in ordinary business foresight if they do
not seize the opportunity now presented
TO them. Banks and bankers who have
loaned on wine lands are using all of their
influence to perfect the wine pool Hold
ing mortgages on vineyards, they are not
slow to see the need to check depreciation
in values. Under present conditions.
foreclosures are out of the question. All
interests are now working in harmony
for the building up of State industry
upon which 5000 heads of families de-
pend for living.

PLACER COUNTY DAY.
How Our Nei&hbors VIII Celebrate
the 3Iidwinuer Fair.

How Our Neighbors VIII Celebrate at
the AiidwinUer Fair.
Our Placer neighbors propose being
''the people, next Saturday at the Mid
winter Fair. They intend doing what no
other county in the State has had the
nerve to do-give a green deciduous fruit
exhibit of all varieties in season.
They propose doing the entertaining in
this respect for entire California, and are
determined that the stranger shall not
pass from their doors without having
seen and tasted the products OF their or
chards.
1t seemed as if the fair was to pass out
without any effort OF this kind being
made, and now that Placer takes this
upon her shoulders for Northern and
Central California. and more particularly
Tor herself, the example of her wide
awake, public-spirited people is COM
mendable.
1t is proposed to entertain with music,
speeches, decoration OF visitors with
Placer County badges, and general dis
tribution of green fruits. The officers of
the fair, the Association of Placer County
Pioneers, the Commissioners from all
counties-from Siskiyou to San Diego
and visitors generally. will all unite in
turning the entire fair into a Placer
County celebration.

HISTORY OF THE SUBURBAN

A decade has passed since the Subur-
ban Handicap race of a mile and .
quarter was first run at the Spring
meeting of the Coney Island Jockey
Club in 1884 In that time the Suburban
has come to be one Of the three or four
most important features of the year ON
the American turf, and from the modest
purse of less than 5000 In 1884. It is
now one OF the richest prizes struggled
for by horses OF the very finest breed.
The history of the Suburban shows a
constant improvement in the work Of
the winners from the day Gen. Monroe
