WINE WORTH 5000 A cAsk.
Costly Liquor That Is Owned by New
York Merchant.

The wine trade has recently been
asitatcd by the rumor that u New
York wine merchant has paid $1,000
for n single cask Of wine. II Is called
"Napolcoaic winc.' because II was pre-.
served specially for Napoleon I. II Is
OF the 1861 vintage. and none has been
sold before. except small quantity
to the king OF Spain. Napoleon was so
busy making war that he had little
leisure TO drink wine. and thus IL has
remained to become the oldest sherry
In the world. This sale has drawn at
tcntion to other old wines and their
present market value.
The same merchant owns some vino
which once belonged To Admiral Nell
son. II ir worth $1,000 cask. and was
vintagcd by man named De Castro
de Palermo OF HcraS. He has also
another wine In his collection which
belonged to the duke OF Wellington
and is now worth se,5O0 cask. He
considers speculations In such liquid
curios as highly profitable, because. IL
properly preserved, they increase In
