FRANCES WINES And CIDER
Interesting Topic of Report by
Consul Thackara at Havre.
Figures show That Nearly Two Bill
lion Gallons of the Fermented
Grape Juice Constituted the Yield
Last Ycar-ExpOrts and Imports.

Consul Thackara, of Havre, has sent TO
the State Department an exhaustive ana
comprehensive report upon the production
of wine and cider in France last year.
Estimates of the wine and cider pro
duction of France for 1890 says Consul
Thackara, ''forecasting an unusually large
yield, have already been published; but
il may be of interest to the wine and
fruit Industries of the United States to
have the official figures which have re-
Gently been made public by the bureau
of internal revenue
The total yield of wine for 1900 was
1,7I9, 255 246 gallons which is an increase
of 1873 65i ,2sS gallons as compared with the
production of 1899 and of 500 $50, S3S gallons
as compared with the vintage of the last
ten years.
The wine crop of France for 1900 was
the most abundant since that of the year
1915, which reached the enormous amount
of 2,2l4. ,612 gallons.
The acreage planted in vineyards in
1900 was i.275,9H acres, against 4.lSo, lOl
acres in 1S99-an increase of SO,Si2 acres.
The average production per hectare
(2.41 acres was 1,030 gallons, that of 1899
being only 40 gallons.
The wine crop is valued at 1914, OOl. 79i.
according to the estimates made in each
department, which were based upon the
local selling prices at the vineyards
The following tables, taken from the Of
fetal custom statistics, show in detail the
volume of the foreign wine trade of
France for last year and the channels in
which it flowed;

Concerning the cider production of
France in 1890. Consul Thackara says:
THE cider production of France in 1900
is estimated at 74s, 1853 329 gallons, or 226.-
$50 1913 gallons more than that of 1899 and
36S 102 gallons more than the average
production for the last ten years.

Wall Street has been somewhat con-
fused by the latest developments in the
sugar trade. The facts are that raw SUI
CARS have declined Ia cent pound since
any change in the prices of refined sugars
was made, previous to those announced
at the end OF the past week. The
price Of refined sugar had been held Up
during the thirty-day contracts period, IN
which a very heavy business was done.
Refined has now been lowered to corre-
spond with the decline in raws. AT the
latest reduction the margin between the
raw and the manufactured product is a
substantial one, amounting to approx
mately ~ cents per 100 pounds. Some OF
the professionals seem inclined to the
opinion that this new cut in sugar demon
strates the continuance of the sugar war
in an aggressive way. There is little real
reason for any such opinion. 1t is en-
tirely probable that the sugar war is
over.
The Pennsylvania report is the finest
ever published by the company But IL
is causing some adverse criticism never
theleSS. An EFFORT Is being MADE TO
create the impression that speculative in
terests and not shareholders are the men
who are protesting against the failure of
the Pennsylvania management to include
in the report information concerning re-
cent financial operations. This is not
true, as the management knows. Protests
have been directly made by some of the
largest shareholders of record on the
c6mpanys books. Nor is it true that
these protests are made against the com
panNs sale of the new stock in the open
market. The dissenting stockholders say
that such procedure may have been
warranted and proper. What they are
complaining about is the Withholding of
detailed information concerning the re-
ceIpts and profits accruing from these
sales of stock and what was done with
them. They also claim that they have a
right to know the prices paid for the Sc
curities of the companies which their
company has acquired by purchase and
to know how these purchases were made.
news agency, in presenting the Penn
sylvania management side of the matter
on Saturday, stated that the stock of
the Long Island Railroad had been pur-
chased by the Pennsylvania management
at par This is one &c tire things the
stockholders want TO know officially. for
they do not credit the statement that
such a price was paid for a stock that
mas not sold at 80 in the market since
1884, and that was selling between 80 and
20 when the Pennsylvania acquisition was
made.

BANKS AND INVESTMENTS.
Local Financial and Business News
and Gossip.

The past week in the local stock market
has been rather quiet one compared
with others since the beginning of the
new year. though business has been brisk
measured by the standards of a few
months ago. Transactions in Mergen-
thaler, Capital Traction, Lanston Mono
type, Union Storage. Washington Trac-
ton bonds. Washington Gas. and Graphic
phone common and preferred stocks have
been fairly large, and many other securi-
ties are represented in the record of the
weeks business. The tendency Of price
has been upward except in a few securi-
ties, and it is fair to say that the ex-
pectations of those who talk of higher
range of prices this year In local securi-
ties have been upheld. Specific news re-
garding any of the corporations repre-
scented on the exchange has been lacking
and the generally hopeful tone of the
market should be attributed to general
causes, business prosperity, and the out
look for good business in the future.
Money is loaning at the lowest rates on
collateral security and all the banks have
an abundance of funds. The street rail
way S have had an immense business dur
ing the Inauguration period, and will all
show large increase in earnings for
March over the same period last year.
There have been many interesting esti-
mates as to the amount of money left in
the city by the Inauguration crowds. The
railways state that they brought more
than 10000 visitors to the city. 1t is
probably fair estimate that there was
an expenditure of at least $50 for each
of these people. This would mean 81
00000J brought into the city. This amount
can hardly help stimulating the spring
business.
