Prosperity has struck the wine
growers of California, rs Charles A.
Wetmore, a wine man Of Stockton,
has just returned from San Francisco
with the information that a sale of
100000 gallons of wine has been
made by the Anglo. California bank
to the California Wine association. -
The price paid for the bulk of the lot
was eight cents and the balance, In
GLIDING the choicest dry wines and
about 10000 gallons of port, was sac
rifced at nine cents. The eight cent
price represents a valuation on ordi-
nary wines ready for shipment, which
would be equivalent to not more than
six cents for similar old wines in
country cellers. Deducting the cost
of detention, racking and clarifying,
it would represent q valuation for
similar new wines IN the country Of
not exceeding three or four CENTS
Many dealers have anticipated q
break in prices and have kept out Of
the market, hoping to secure wines at
almost their own figure The result
is that there is no sale for a large
quantity at any price. With millions
of dollars invested in the wine bust
ness in the state. the producers are in
most peculiar position at present,
and if they do not succeed in checking
the cut rates, Mr.. Wetmore declares
they will have to go out of business.

across from Ports. Mllligan told the
sheriff that he had settled Knapp's
account in full, but when his case
comes to trial the prisoner will prob

"THE Philipsburg Herald, one OF

much complaint among the merch-
ants of that town, about excessive
freight rates, but still most of them
will vote the republican ticket. After

that the republican party is the

OOMPTROLLER IS AGAINST IT

SENATOR GRAY RECEIVES A
LETTER CONTAINING MOST DIS.
CoURlAGTNG NEWS CONCERNING
TfIE MONEY APPROPRIATED by
CONGRESS- FOR WILMINGTON
HARBOR.
The appropriation OF $2O5, 900 for the
permanent improvement OF the Chris.
tiana river has been held up by the
comptroller of the Treasury Depart
ment and present indications are that
the proposed improvement Of VIII
mington harbor has been blocked.
Senator Gray has received from
Washington an official 1stter convey
ing this unwelcome intelligence. This
morning an Evening Journal reporter
asked him for a copy Of the communi-
cation, but de declined to give It, say
Ing that he preferred to withhold il
untilthe matter was finally settled.
From other sources 1t is learned that
shortly after Congress made and the
president approved the appropriation
a question arose regarding its imme-
diate availability. Reference OF the
matter was made to the comptroller
Of the Treasury. who rendered de-
cision that the money could not be
applied to the purposes for which it
was appropriated He held that 500
GOO was appropriated two years ago TO
begin work on project which would
cost more than $4,000, and In July
OF this year an additional apprepria-
ton of S205 900 was made. As this Is
not enough to complete the project It
Is not available for immediate use.
Unless the comptroller can be CON
yinced that his decision is at fault,
no haIbor improvement can he made
for several months to come.
This complication Is an aggravatine
disappointment to Senator rGay, Con
gresham Handy, members OF the 10
cal Board Of Trade, and all others who
have taken an active interest in Sc
curing the appropriation.
Senator Gray got the appropriation
in the Sundry Civil bill in the shape O
an amendment there being no rive
and harbor bill. By dlnt OF hard worl
ne worked It through the Senate ana
Congressman Handy succeeded in Sc
curing its passage by the House. They
did not apprehend any su1h trouble a.
that which has occurred just wher
they were congratulating themselves
that the work Of harbor improvement
would begin Immediately.

TAX ON BANK CHECKS
EXPLANATION GIVEN ON THE
NEW RULING OF COMMITS
SDONER SCOTT.

Inc ruling Of Internal Revenue Com.
missioner Scott last Monday that
checks drawn in this country on a for
eign bank or banker, payable at sight
or on demand, are subject only to a
two-cent stamp tax continued to be a
leading topic OF discussion in, local
banking circles. 1t was Thought on
Monday that this decision would not
apply where such checks were issued
IN duplicate or triplicate, but that
these would then be taxed at the
hifgher rate Of our cents per 500 as
foreign bills Of exchange. A further
ruling has been received from the com
missioner, however, that the two-cent
tax would also apply in such cases.
There appeared to be some doubt as
to whether the duplicates would have
to be stamped as well as the original.
and a request for further information
has been sent to Washington.
Commissioner Scott has also ruled
that checks drawn in foreign countries
on banks in this country should only
be subject to tax of two cents per
check-as in the case of checks drawn
in this country on banks in other
countries.
