Local dealers In rare postage stanps are
talking about the stamp trust"-the latest
thing in the combination line The dealers
say. however that they do not form any
monopoly or that they will not be able to
conduct their business with philatelic
crankS as Swimmingly as before
The trust Is the American Collectors
Company, which was organized some years
ago with capital stock of 500, 600 but
which has increased this capitalization to
S45o,O00 in order to take over the business
of the Scott Stamp and Coin Company Of
this city and the New England Stamp
Company of Boston. Henry L. Calman
who conducted the Scott company is under
stood to have received a check for $50 600
on Monday last. and in addition a large
block of the stock of the American ColIec-
tors Company A local trust company
financed the operation.
The American Collectors Company bought
some time ago valuable stock of rare
stamps which had belonged to R. F. Al
brecht, and it bought later a quantity Of
stamps from William Brown of this city
But its last deal has set philatefc circles
buzzfng, for 1t means the requirement Of a
tremendous stock Of stamps, stamp sup
plies, albums and stamp catalogues The
other dealers in this city are wondering
whether the trust" is really going to he a
trust and whether it will try to buy them
out also.

AMERICAN PREFERENCE IN VINES

Tendencies of Taste MS Shown by the
Statistics OF Imports fer 1900.
From the New York Sun.
The statements Of wine sellers as of wine
growers and sometimes Of wine drinkers,
too, are proverbiaiy misleading. but no
suspicion of inaccuracy can attach to the
figures contained in the report recently is
sued by the chamber of commerce of the
trade In imported wines for the year 1900.
The American market for champagne va
ries less than in the case of other foreign
wines though the tmportations of last year
were 2O0O00 dozen, as against 100000 ten
years ago. The figure was exceptionally
high; last years importations were below
the average The fluctuations which car
rled the importations down to 170.000 dozen
in 1897 carried them up to 215,O0O dozen
two years later,
Another popularity of the trade in for
eign wines is that while the demand for
spanish sherry Is going steadily up, the
demand for Spanish red wine is going
steadily down
The importations of English gin are
steadily increasing year by year. while the
lmportatloHs OF Holland gin are steadily
falling off. In 1895 the importations from
Holland amounted to 10000 gallons; In
1888 they were 1900; last year they were
ZOO.
The importation of port wine Is steadily
increasing. French brandy is almost sta
ttonary. italian wines doubled their Amer
lean market in four years. The trade in
Madeira wine, once the most valued by
connoisseurs.' Is almost extinct. The total
importations in 1896 amounted to only
1,70e.
The trade in Scotch and Irish whisky is
increasing In 1893 Jamaica rum to the
amount OF $4,000 gallons was imported;
last year 1t fell Off to 1900. st. Croix rum,
on the other hand, has been steadily in
creasing: 1890 gallons in 1898, 1900 In 1883
and "A 800 last year.
These are the figures Of importation to
the port of New York, but practically they
are the figures Of the whole country, for
there Is very little wine imported into other
Atlantic ports. and the Pacific coast is SUD-
piled by domestic growths.
One feature Of last years trade, as shown
by the chamber of commerce report is
that while the American demand for for
eign whisky is increasing for brands I'm
ported IN bottles, 1t Is falling OF for those
imported In wood, and this condition is ex-
actiy reversed in the case Of red wine

The Diplomatic Service.
W York Evening Post

FROM Inc New 1ork Evening Post.
We have taken pleasure in calling at
tention to the last batch OF diplomatic
appointments, as showing an apparent in
tention on the part of the administration
to bring about improvements in the serv-
ice by promoting and transferring men AL
ready In It when there are vacancies TO be
filed. Thus Mr.. Loomis. being persona
non grata in Venezuela, was given the
post in Portugal. and Mr.. Herbert W.
Bowen, experienced as a consul In Spain
and as minister to Persia, was transferred
from Teheran to Caracas. To fill Mr..
Bowen's place. Mr.. Lloyd c. Griscom. "A
young man Of considerable promise. was
promoted from the secretaryship of lega-
ton at Constantinople, his place in turn
being filed by Mr. Spencer Eddy, the sec-
ond secretary In Paris.
The whole proceeding shows plainly how
much conscientious executive can do to
secure a creditable diplomatic corps for
the country, even though there be no regu-
lar graduation and no distinct avenues Of
promotion, from consul to ambassador ex-
traordinary and plenipotentiary, duly
tablished and properly salaried by Con-
gress. Any one who has had to do with
a large corporation filled with aspiring
young men will realize what a stimulus
these promotions will be to the American
representatives In foreign lands, just as
any one who has travelled at all knows
that continuity of service is. next to or
iginal fitness, one of the most necessary
attributes of a diplomat. BY this we do
not mean continuity OF service IN one capt.
tai, but permanence of employment in the
diplomatic corps, the European nations
having found frequent transfers highly
desirable in the case OF the younger Of
languages. diplomatic experience and gen.
eral breadth.

Clean Streets.
From the Richmond Dispatch.

The public will watch with interest the
result Of the recent change by which the
street-cieaning force becomes an organiza-
ton under its own superintendent. II is
expected that the result will be cleaner
streets and alleys. and We believe the
great mass Of householders stand ready
to cooperate with the city hands In &C.
complishing that result. We may depend
upon it that Richmond never will be a
clean, tidy. well-kept place unless the pride
Of our people is aroused sufficiently to de-
mand that condition and to insist upon il
necessarily.
There seems to be q lamentable failure
here to deal with the trash-paper nuisance
There are ordinances which forbid the
throwing of such paper upon the streets
but it is little observed. Indeed, it can
edy to be applied is for the STRENGTHENING
department to send around men to pick
up the paper. That should be done at
least on the principal streets.
We have seen Broad street looking very
shabby, especially on Sunday mornings
have made a presentable appearance
Yet It would have been no great labor to
rid 1t OF the trash paper, which was the
chief element OF Disagreement.
The appearance Of cleanness we shall
never be able to secure until the authori-
ties take hold of the trash-paper nuisance
with vim and energy. They ought to make
householders help them much as posi-
BILE: but they may as well make up their
minds to undertake to do all that the
householders fail to do-and that will be a
great deal. Householders have their duty:
the city has its duty. These should WORK
together and put Richmond upon a higher
plane with respect to clean streets.
