COMPETITION IN WINE
french Growers to Ship Over Unismsntsd
 Juice

SAN FRANClSCO.-Rc of California vIticultural Interests have learned that French exporters propose to enter into active compe- titIon with the winemakers of this State. It Is asserted that in the Peri gord district of France the crop of grapes has been so enormous that wine has fallen to less than cent gallon.
 The French growers do not intend shipping wine to this country. owing to the tarifT but they propose to send over condensed must. This Is unfer- meated juice of the grape. and can be quickly converted into fair wine by the addition of wat'r. The duty on must Is only 20 per cent. ad yalorem. 1t coming under the head of "unenu- mcrated articles in the tariff sched- ules.
 The wine interests of California will at once take steps to have the om- mission of must from the tariff recti- ded by congress. and 1t Is likley that the measure to that effect will be placed in charge of Representative Kahn on his return from the Philip pines
