Tigers needed only the first OF those
two to win.
In the first inning Jo-Jo White

by a pitched ball. The pair worked a
double steal to get into scoring posi-
tion and Hank Greenberg responded
with a single that brought them both

Where Are American Wines?
(New York Herald Tribune)

~N~-NN-~N
 A nation hardened to bootleg liquor undoubtedly finds it difficult to readjust itself to suaVer ana nilder beverages At the same time It IS puzzeo uy its unfamiarity with wines In the old days of the Volstead era there only two kinds-'red lnK and white ink" Today there not only claretS and burgundies Bordeaux Moselle and Rhine wines Cto mention but few) but American South Am erican and even South African wines of the same names Furthermore, there are years which are good and those which bad. How is the would be winebbber to dscriminate?
 Books have been written to help him. But as practical matter the average would-be wine drnker is stumped. The European wines are expensive The American wines are uncertain. AS TOT the con- noisseur of wnes-he is in the same fix. He hates to pay two three times what he would normally pay in Europe for a good vintage. As for the American wines-he is at loss how to discover those which are paatabe. The names are mislead- ing-they usually seek to initiate European labels. Much of the material now being offered under American labels is no better than bootleggers red ink" and is unreliable in quality. Some of it Is obviously only grapejuce which has been doctored. The result is to turn away the discriminating from all American wines-obviously an injustice to those American wines which fit to drink.
 The American wine growers have opportunity to educate the public to a taste for good wines They have thanks to the tax system, virtual monopoly of inexpensive wines What they lack is the quality of the wines which they wish to sell. By offering countless mediocre limitations of Euro pean wines instead of carefully selecting and devel- oping wines that much native as are in France the various wins du pays they are giving the woud-be wine drinkers poor introduction to wines.
 In their behalf it must be pointed out that Pro- hibition a bitter blow to the wine industry in this country in that it nterfered with the careful development of local vineyards But even before Prohibition the custom common to buy grapes from many different localities and mix them, as well t0 mix he wi from these grapes. Here and there few far seeing wine knowing growers resisted this tempta- tion and sought to make local wines without standardization. But such wines today hard, if not impossible, to find. That they exist no one who has drunk the local wines of many countries in Europe will doubt. California has produced sound port and sound sherry New York State used to make excellent table wines. But what has come the market far, with all manner of European labels suggests that the wine merchants do not greatly respect the discriminatory taste Of the average American Would it be better business to insti this taste by accustoming him to good native wine instead of offering poor imita- tions of foreign wines?

with the major objectives of the New Deal, and champions them heartily. But he has not at any time been accused of Socialistic slant, because in his writings and speeches he has made it abund- antly clear that he wants to work out an ordered economic life through the processes of democracy
 It was Walter Lippmann who some months, ago set forth the real distinction between collect ivism, old-fashioned laissez fare, and plausible middle course His contention that the State must intervene actively in economic life, either through banking and credit policies social legisla- tion or public works measures to insure equilibrium among the various clements of private enterprise.
 This program did not envision the detailed regu- lation of business which is now being attempted in certain quarters Neither did it suffer powerful economic interests to go their way unhindered, when their course contrary to the national interest Iippmann's idea of an enlightened public policy in a capitalist State the use of the Governments power as a balance wheel to com nensate for disturbing trends and unequal align ments in agriculture and industry and finance.
 This corresponds closely to the ideas of Sec retary Wallace, who has firmly opposed all coerclVe measures for production control and price-fixing, unless for emergencies. MT. Wallace is seeking, quite independently of the Administration, set of policies that will utilize the power of government to stabilize cur economic order without arbitrary
 interference in the affairs of individual enter prSes
 Washington and others have not On the whole, he is gaining prestige and public confidence, despite some conspcuously objectionable features of his emergency agricultural program. He is gaining an influential national audience undoubtedly because he has shown a sincere desire to find a sound middle course between the chaos of collecttvism and the chaos of laiSSez fare.

PROGRESS TOWARD RECOVERY.

From the mass of statistics on the general condi- tions throughout the country many and varied con- clusions be drawn Particularly because recovery has been "spotty," some sectional industries and businesses reactipg much more rapidly than others because of specific circumstances
 However, the trend and progress towards recovery has been and continues to be definite.
 Total consumer income in August showed an increase of $11s,OOOOOo above July and gain of $462000000 over August year ago. according to the Industrial Statistical Bureau
 An increase of 22 per cent in the total of interest payments made on land bank commissioners loans during August, was reported by w | Myers, Gov ernor of the Farm Credit Administration.
 jump of TT per cent in the value of construc- tion awards in sixteen Southern States during the first nine months of 1884 the period in 1893, reported by The Manufacturers Record daily construction bulletin.
 A continued rise in farm income took place dur ing June, July, and August bringing the total income for the three manths to $1580000000. The income included $133OoOoOO in AAA benefit pay ments, according to Louis H. Bean, Economic Ad- wiser to the Agricultural Adjustment Administration.
 Production of electricity in the United States during the week ending October G. by the electric power industry, totaled 1920o0 kilowat hours, compared with 1,64613eo00 in the corresponding week in 1883 according to the Edison Electric Institute.
 soft-cpal production for the week ending Sep tenber 2s was 100000 tons, 35O,0e0 more than ir the preceding weks and 424,o0O tons more than ir the corresponding week year ago, according to a, announcement by the Bureau of Mines.
 These figures along with many other indices ndisputedly show that recovery is making definite progress and both industry and labor feel a security and confidence that has been lacking too long.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2T.-A gong changing like a giant telephone bell opened future trading on the New York Tobacco Exchange, and the south's famed night riders ganoped into the mists of time.
 Around the little TEX ring amid Wall Streets towers, men shouted and waved their fingers. It was modern mans way of stabil- izing the market, an intricate fi- nancial maneuver capping more than 300 years Of tobacco growing history in America.
 Back in 1915 England imported 2,300 pounds of tobacco from the colonies. Today the annual crop in the United States is around l,400,- Ooo GOO pounds with farm value of about S30O,O0O,Oo In manu- factured form; the value is more than $l 000,000,OOO. Its the coun- try's third largest cash crop, sec ond only to cotton and grain.
 Wide Price Swings
 Picturesque auctions in selected southern tobacco centeTs for years have been the means of marketing the crop. But planters complained of vide price swings between mar kets and grades, lack of price rec ords and shortness of the season. Auctions made sa"buyer's market"

hedging consists in placing a sell ing order in futures against a pres ent buying order, or a buying order in futures against a present selling order.
 Price Risk Insurance
 Traders term hedging price risk insurance" and loans can be ob- tained more readily on a stock of tobacco that is. hedged because the value of the stock is insured
 Traders say the new exchange:
 l. Creates a price stabilization factor. ?. Establishes the market as a price barometer. 3. Offers an opportunity to hedge.
 4. Assures an orderly market. 5. Establishes an adherance to grades.
 6. Reduces the cost of market ing. '. Forms central point for dissemination of crop information.
