IMPORTED WINE
SUPPLY TO FALL
Local Houses Say Stock in This
Country Will Be Exhausted
in Three Months.

The supply Of popular imported
wines and spirits in this country will
be exhausted in about two months at
the most by the normal consumption,
according TO a statement made today
by William NJ Sommer, proprietor of
d. Osborn & CO.
The Osborn company, as well as
practically every other wholesale IL
quor house in this vicinity, has been
flooded with orders for imported wines
and spirits in large amounts during
the past week. The wholesalers in
this city have a very limited supply
and are dividing their stock among
their regular patrons.
The New York wholesale houses are
in practically the same conditions.
according to Mr.. Sommer. Because
Of the high duty and regular sailings
of vessels wholesalers in this city and
New York have been accustomed to
import the liquors in small quanti-
ties. They have rehed on receiving
small shipments frequently rather
than large shipments at long inter-
walls. This leaves practically all of
ported stock on hand at present.
Scotch and Irish whistles, cham
payne. Bordeaux and Burgundy
wines, and cognac brandy, and Ce-
lestines yichy from France and Hoch
and Moselle wines and Apollinaris
and other mineral waters from Ger
many are all scarce at present, with
new stock at high premium.
Foreign Exchange Higher.
The war has increased the cost of
foreign exchange Of money and this
will tend to advance the price Of inn
ported liquor and discourage impor-
tations.
The Columbia, of the Anchor line,
from Great Britain; the Nenezia from
Marseilles, and the Rochambeau
from Havre, arrived in port yester-
day with foreign liquor. These are
probably the last boats that will
bring cargoes to this country till
after the war. On the French boats
there were less than 1000 gallons Of
liquors. The cargoes of any tramp
steamers that may come through
win probably fall into the hands of
SPECTATORS.
The scarcity OF imported wines and
whistles will probably create big
domestic whiskey, which may lead to
an advance in the price of the domes-
tic liquors. This Is not probable, how
ever, Mr.. Sommer pointed out, be-
cause of the difference in the quality.
Italian and Spanish wines are not so
scarce as the French wines.
The European disturbances will not
affect the importation to this country
of Havana cigars and tobacco, ac-
cording to information received by
Mr.. Somrner These goods are shipped
to this country by the Ward line, an
American corporation. The export of
cigars and tobacco from Cuba to
Europe, however. has ceased.
Many of the Cuban factories are
working only half time. because of
the reduction of the foreign demand
for the cigars. The price of the cigars
will not be affected in this country,
however.

POLICE CAPTURE
BAD COIN PASSER
Nab Man and Woman as
Handlers of Counterfeit
Money.

Police of the Fourth precinct be-
lieve that they have uncovered an
agency for the distribution of coun-
terfeit coins in Newark in the arrest
last night of Vito Campione, As years
old, and his wife, Lena. 80 years old,
of 30 Bedford street. They are being
held at the Fourth precinct station
for action by the Federal authorities
Spurious quarters and half dollars
in large quantities have made their
appearance in the HIP section dur
plants have been made to Captain
Oscar Vogel. of the Fourth precinct
1t is estimated that more than a
thousand dollars in counterfeit coins
have been passed on storekeepers
and residents of the section
The passing back and forth of the
bad coins has caused several serious
assaults and one stabbing ARRAY in
the section during the last few
weeks.
Plainclothesman George Kaas. of
the Fourth precinct, has been work
ing on the case since the complaints
were made to Captain Vogel, and ar
rested the pair last night, with
Plainclothesmen King, Heurich, Mil
Ter and Schmidt.
Kaas traced several coins to Cam
phone, who keeps a vegetable mar
ket at the Bedford street address.
The police believe that the market
business was merely a cover, and
that the place had been a dis
tributing agency for counterfeit coins
made at some point outside of the
city, probably in New York city.
Campione's place was raided last
night. Packages containing SO in
spurious half-dollars and s40.75 in
spurious quarters were found. A
number of the coins were also found
in Campione's clothes.
Detectives from the government
secret service looked at the false
coins at the Fourth precinct station
today. They say that the coins are
excellent counterfeits.
A jar of a polishing powder and
one of liquid which, it is said. is
used for darkening the coins. were
found in Campione's house. Nothing
in the nature of molds could be
found
Several tradesmen who say they
received some of the coins directly
from Campione have been located by
the police. The government detec-
important one.
Mrs. Campione feigned illness at
the precinct station last night and
was taken to the City Hospital She
was later taken back to the station.

BUDGET WAR
VICTORY

Mayor Woodward's announced plan
of compelling an agreement on the
budget as soon as possible can have
but one effect, according to his op-
ponents in Council. That is to force
the Finance Committee to yield TO
the demands of the five Aldermen
who are holding out.
These Aldermen speak facetiously
of the Mayors announcement that
he will call Council together in spe-
cial session every day after Thurs
day until the budget is passed. No
one expects them to yield their po-
sition, now that Mayor Woodward
has entered actively in the fight.
The Finance Committee was ap-
pointed by the Mayor, and a demand
from the Mayor that the wrangle
over the budget be stopped could be
obeyed only when 1t yielded.
II think it a good idea to have
Council meet every day." said Al
derman Albert Thomson, smiling.
Some Of us didn't get many com
mittee assignments, and special
