No expert can estimate accurately the

find themselves to the good by not less
than S300,000,000, and possibly $780,

The grape furnishes also important

pomace and fed to stock the same as
grain. Ground up. they are used as a
substitute for coffee. A high grade oil
similar to olive oil is also produced
from the Seeds, which, among other

In commenting on the need which

Western crops, a New York financial
letter states that with conditions as

strained the capacity Of the New York
financial centers to the utmost to fur

ever, has the wealth of the West in

Chinese L" Cash"

Consular reports from China are IN
the effect that the prospect of a re-
form or rather revolution in the money
system of that Empire is not very
bright. in spite of the promises to that
end which have been made. There are
number of influential elements pre-
venting the change which nations do
ing business in China have asked.
among others the bankers who profit
by the great variations in values of
the same kind of coins in different
cities as well as the provincial officials
who mint them. The money of the
people is still brass and copper, and to
Introduce a new system will be diff
cult owing to the dread on the part of
the public Of anything new. Gold
and silver may continue to control the
price paid for exports, but copper and
brass will for long time govern pro-
duction.
