GERMAN MERCHANTS LOSE
 ON THE FRENCH WINES
Over Abundance of Light bFink I0urs Into Country During the
 faii Of inc Franc


 Berlin, July s,-FFsneh wines have heen pouring into this country at a tremendous rate of late, particularly during the period of the fall of the French fahe, So great was the husiH ness at times that the French mer- chants had to call halt in order ta catch np in their bookkeeping, The transfers were mostly paper trans actions, and when the decline Of the franc suddenly halted many dealers who had contracted for French wine on the theory that the franc would fall still further were caught shart and were unable to carry out their obligations,
 Wine prices fuctuated madly in the days when the franc suddenly took its upward course after the announce ment of the American loan, Fortunes were won and lost on wine as well as on all other French articles which are much sought in foreign trade. Many of the small banks which have failed as result Of franc speculation, were literally drowned in French wine.
 Rut inc German wine drinker who huys his liquor Tn restaurants and cafes gets no bargain. Middlemen and producers Of various sorts who were able 10 take advantage Of the situation made much money. The government collected heavy import duties and now the municipalities are collecting taxes on retail sales of wine which frequently exceed so per cent of the price of the wine.
 In fact French champagne Of good quality now pays a municipal tax in Berlin greater than the pre-war price of the champagne.
