Changes In Local Markets

The Australia Vigneron gives the follow
ing as ruling prices for grapes in that coun-
try:
1.-THE prices of grapes paid by the Wig
nerons In South Australia as arranged by
the wine-makers In the Angaston district
are as follows: Carbinet Sauvignon, 81
los per ton; Malbee, 96; Shiraz, ga los; Car
binet Crosse. GA los; Dolcetto. s3; Refs :.
ling, 93 IS; Frontignac, G3; Sercial and
Madeira, SO 15s; Muscat. go los; Tokay,
f2 los; Sherry, G2 Pa.lomino Blanco, co;
Black Portugal, f2; Grenache. f2; Sweet
Water, 92 Mataro, so per cent at 35s, SO per
cent at 30s; Daradllo, table grapes and
mixed sorts, $685.
At $4.4 to the pound the sauvignon Is
worth in our money 5000, and the cheapest
wine grapes in the list $96S, excepting the
Mataro, while table kinds are $7.26. The
inference is that the average price would
be hardly as high as in Napa or Sonoma,
while there is more difference made In the
price than in California.
