How the State of Trade Is Indicated by the
Sale of st lamps.
Washington, April THE auditors
division of the Post Office Department
have just completed settlen ent of the
accounts of the post Offices for the last
quarter of the calendar year, 1894. The
figures compared with those of this same
quarter for 1898 are vi ewed with much
satisfaction by the officials. The volume
of business transacted by the postal SER
vice has long been considered reliable
index of the condition of the trade and
commerce of the country. When the re-
cent panic began to affect the business
interests of the country that fact at once
was shown in the reduced receipts at the
post Offices. The sale of stamps for the
quarter was Sl9, ,405, 571. This is said
to be the largest sum received from that
source within the same period in the his
tory of the postal service. The receipts
for the last quarter of 1898 were SIS, l92,-
729.

CALIFORNIA SWEET WINES
Trouble Brewing Between Winemakers and
the Big Seven

Trouble Brewing Between Winemakers and
the Big Seven
SAN FRANCISCO. August 15.-Om ;ial
returns Of the production of sweet wines
in the two internal revenue districts for
this state have just been completed for
the season. which closed with December
and which extended over period OF
FIVE months. The report shows that the
sweet wine product of the two districts
amounted to 1913, $50 gallons. 1.-THE report
from the fourth distric. for the first four
months of this year shows that $50, 900
gallons we're produced. fa NJ
There is trouble brewing between the
sweet wine makers and the California
Wine association, known as the Big
Seven, owing TO the fact that the Kohler-
FrohlIng winery at Windsor is about to
turn 5000 tons of grapes into sweet wines
and has advertised for that number OF
tons at $12 ton. The wine makers out
side the Big Seven take this as an ,ndi-
cation of war and are preparing to fight
the com bine and make them buy their
wine from the producers. A few OF the
more prominent winemakers are prepar-
ing to sell their products in the east and
by that move come into direct comre-
tition with the wine association, unless
the corporation comes to terms.
1t is very likely that q meeting OF the
sweet wine producers will be held in this
city shortly to adopt plans for an extended
campaign unless the association pur-
chases of them. Practically all OF last
years wines have been sold at good
prices.
