probability of a market for California wine
in the more populous sections Of Brazil
The secretary was directed to acknowledg
receipt of the communication and to thanl
the institution for It's courtesy and to Civ
such publicity to the matter as possible
The letter is as follows:
This institution has been carrying on
an investigation as to the probability Of
a market for California wines in the
more populous sections of Brazil. and
has arrived at the conclusion that If
these wines were properly pushed they
might find very satisfactory sale In
such places as Para. Pernambuco, Ba-
hla and even Rio de Janeiro, though In
the latter city the large proportion Of
European population might be the rea-
son for a less degree Of favor.
The Figera wines Of Portugal are very
popular In the region mentioned. We
understand that they very much re-
semble the California wines, and that
| no change In the peoples taste would,
therefore, be necessary in Introducing
a hint whieh ysu may be able to take up
a hint which you may be able to takeup
to the benefit Of the wine growers Of
California, and shall be pleased I'd fol-
low 1t up in a practical way on receipt
Of inquiries. by accompanying names of
shipping firms, merchants, importers
and possible consumers.
Our opinion regarding the introduce
ton Of these wines in the sections of
Brazil mentioned is confirmed by that of
Chas. Page Bryan, the American min
lister TO Brazil. Signed 1.-THE Philadel-
phia Commercial Museum"
