PACIFIC WINE AND SPIRIT REVIEW.

DEY WINES : — Tliere was no material change in the market during the month. Exports by sea were of fairly good volume, the aggregate being 315 cases, 847,297 gallons, valued at |333,083. Reports from California wine men who are close observers and who have recently trav- elled throughout the East, are to the effect that there is a perceptible increase in the demand for wines of standard quality, and especially, for the best wines we can make. These observers believe that with persistent and proper exploitation of these fields, important progress can be made in the introduction of California's representative wines. One of the greatest drawbacks at the present time, and which it will be difficult to remove, is the fact that so much of the good wine that goes to the Eastern markets in bulk, reaches the consumer under a foreign label. Relief from this evil must come from Congress. If the industry could be protected from this blight, and these same falsely labeled wines be sold for what they are, and at the moderate prices of our wines, it would be a great boon and go far toward the solution of the problem of intrducing California's wines to the American people successfully. So it should be the aim of every honest wine man to strive to bring about such national legislation.

Some few minor transactions in new Avines have taken place during the month. The prices were practically on the basis of those of last year, ranging from fifteen to sev- enteen cents, San Francisco.

A feature of the export trade was the shipment by steamer via the Horn to New York, of more than six thousands barrels of wine in one cargo.

Recepts of wine from interior cellars during the month were very heavy, aggregating 1,687,475 gallons.

SWEET WINES :— The only activity displayed is in pro- duction, the market being sluggish. October was the banner month in the output of sweets in the history of the industry, the grand total in the two districts being 6,365,- 525.36 gallons. Of this quantity 4,448,687.26 gallons were produced in the First District. In other words the output in October was more than twice as much as in the preceding month. In the same month of last year the production in the First District was 3,778,007.71 gallons.

BRANDIES : — The market is featureless, except that it is entirely without animation. The principal buyers are holding back, and as a result there have been no trans- actions that could be considered a criterion, as to the posi- tion of young brandies. Prices are unchanged from last quotations. Exports were nominal. The production in the two districts during October, was very heavy, the total being 200,530.7 tax gallons. Probably the bulk of this went to the fortification of the great quantity of sweet wines made in that month.

WHISKIES : — There was a steady and marked im- provement throughout the month, some of the big houses finding it difficult to keep pace with orders. As a consequence there was a long absent tone of cheerfulness among the trade. The concensus of opinion was that a genuine revival had set in and that the era of good, sound,

business had come, to remain for a long time. In fact con- ditions are favorable over the entire Coast, outside of San Francisco, with the exception of Oregon, where the new local option laAV has greatly upset business, not alone in the liquor trade but in other lines. However, trade is ex- pected to revive there to a considerable extent, when the dealers have gotten over their scare. Among the retail trade in this city, there was a slight improvement in busi- ness, but it is far behind what it ought to be. Thus far the man who can explain why this local dullness exists at this time, has not yet appeared.

Exports were of good volume, the figures being 1,784 cases and 10,844 gallons, valued at |21,949. In the same month last year, the value of the exports was |17,853. Imports during the month were 1,448 cases, 100 bbls., 20 octs., and 19 csks. .

IMPORTATIONS: — There was some improvement in business during the month, but the volume of trade is far from what it ought to be. It is particularly quiet in the local field, but hope springs eternal, and the importers feel assured that the days of activity are not far distant. The principal items of importation in October were; Wine, 576 cases, 31 bbls., 133 casks; brandy, 1,330 cases, 47 csks. and 35 pkgs. ; whisky, 1,448 cases, 100 bbls., 20 octs., and 19 csks. ; vermouth, 7,740 cases and beer, ale, etc., 1,041 cases and 75 bbls.

BEER: — The malt beverage has to a great extent, re- tired from the ring in favor of the seasonal winter drinks. At the same time business is not bad, especially with the exporters, as shown by the fact that the movement by sea, alone, aggregated 813 packages bottled and 2,000 packages bulk, of the value of |21,537. On or before the first of the year the local field for bottled beer will be en- livened by advent of two large bottling concerns which will handle beers made on the Sound and in Los Angeles. Imports were 1,041 cases and 75 bbls.

New York Wine flarket.

THE demand for both sweet and dry wines as well as for brandies has improved quite a little during the past week, which is probably due both to the fact that the reports from California about the serious injury done to the grapes by storms have been found to be of more im- portance than was expected, and to the fact that tlie dealers, having bought but very little for the past six months, buy to replenish their winter supply. Prices re- main firm for standard goods irrespective of what is olTered by the outsiders. — Bonfort's, Nov. 10th.

Wine and Brandy Receipts.

The receipts of wine and brandy from interior cellars during the month of November were : Wine, 1,687,475 gal- lons; brandy, 61,295 gallons.

American Whiskies In Bond.

The quantity of American whiskies and spirits remain- ing in bond in San Francisco on October 31, 1904, was 171,418 gallons.

Would Tax Sweet Wines,

Want Wine in Soldiers' Rations.

AS the Review goes to press, a dispatch from Washing- ton announces that Commissioner of Internal Rev- enue Yerkes, in his annual report, recommends the impo- sition of a tax on the brandy used in the fortification of sweet vt'ines. When Mr. Yerkes hears the "holler" that the wine men will emit, he will be sorry he mentioned the matter, and apologize. The Commissioner makes the plea that the Government relieves the distillers and wine-mak- ers from the tax of $1 10 per gallon on the grape brandy used to fortify sweet wines and in addition pays all the ex- penses incident to the gauging and use of such spirits. In view of this latter fact the Commissioner recommends that a moderate tax, if not the full tax, be imposed upon wine spirits or grape brandy produced and used for forti- fication. The present cost to the Government of super- vising the use of grape brandy for this purpose is estimated at from |25,000 to $30,000 a year.

The report says that if a tax of only 25 cents per gal- lon was assessed as against the brandy withdrawn and used for fortification purposes the actual cost of the wine would not be increased more thtan 5 cents per gallon and would have produced to the Government during the fiscal year 1903 a revenue of |1,042,591.

We protest that this would be a grave imposition upon a branch of a great industry that has been fostered to large and important proportions by this privilege granted by the Government. The wine men of California had too hard a fight to secure the enactment of the present law to submit tamely to its being knocked out at the instigation of one official. The adoption of Mr. Yerkes' suggestion would tend to largely decrease the consumption of sweet wines, at tlie same time that the wine men are doing all in their power to encourage larger use of all wines. It would merely at one jump advance the price of wine five or more cents per gallon, all because it costs the Government a paltry |25,000 to supervise the use of these tax-free brandies for forti- fication.

We do not believe Congress can be led to sandbag a young and promising industry for any such reasons as those set forth by Commissioner Yerkes. At the same time, the wine men should be alive' to the fact that he is after them, and is a power.

Big Wine Shipment via tlie Horn.

ANOTHER large shipment of wine to New York, via the Horn, went on the steamer California on November 20th. It consisted of 333,750 gallons, or more than 6,000 barrels.

Those in the trade who contemplate the outfitting of their bars or anything connected with fine wood work, will make no mistake if they take their patronage to Oscar Fincke, Fifth and Brannan streets, this city. Mr. Fincke has one of the largest plants of the kind in the West, and is equipped to do the very finest kinds of work at the shortest notice. Some of the most artistic bars on the Pacific Coast were made in Mr. Fincke's establishment. He makes a happy combination of high class work and low prices. It win pay to consult him.

Jennings, President of the California Promotion Committee, returned from an extended Eastern trip during the latter part of the month. In addition to taking in the World's Fair and the Irrigation Convention, the gentlemen went to Washington in the interest of the prune, raisin and wine industries. They visitetl the Secretaries of War and the Navy, and made a strong plea not only for the placing of prunes and raisins on the sailors' and soldiers' rations, but of light wine also. They very forcibly called attention to the fact that in the continental armies wine is a part of the ration, while with the British troops it is good, wholesome beer. Furthermore, that drunkenness among the wine-drinking soldiers was wholly unknown.

The officials promised to give the matter their earnest attention, which was all they could do under the circum- stances. There is an indication that the canteen question will not only be reopened at the coming Congress, but that the foolish action of Congress, incited by the W. C. T. U., will be rescinded and the canteen restored, as it should be.

From An Outside Viewpoint.

IT is apparent to any observer in the wine business in this State that the turning point in the road is not far distant, if, in fact, the influence in the new direction has not already set in. In order that the highest grades and best of vintages shall be produced in any quantity it is necessary that the small, independent, home winery shall flourish. The choicest of wines come not from the manu- facturer of such products in a large way, but from the small grower who manufactures his own and his neigh- bor's product according to his own personal methods and individually and personally supervises the entire process The small winery must return. The lower grades and cheaper qualities and cargo wines can, of course, be more economically manufactured and handled in a large com- mercial way. The fact, however, that the production of 30,000,000 to 40,000,000 gallons of wine a year for a coun- try having a population of over 75,000,000, will produce, as it has been doing in this State, a condition of so-called over production, and the inability in many instances of manufacturers and distributors to do business at a profit to themselves and the growers, when the conditions of competition from without are easily overcome as in this case, would naturally lead one to believe that there is something wrong somewhere. It is not the amount of the production but the ridiculously small consumption and the exorbitantly high prices that the consumer has to pay for ordinary wines that make up the marketing problems that are to be solved, and it is along these lines that much of labor and thought can be profitably expended by those interested in the industry from either the producing or commercial side of the business. — California Fruit Grower.

It's good fer us to be longing fer somethin' we aint got. It keeps us moving along toward the front, anyway, when we might otherwise be dragging our feet in the tail of the procession. — llie Eagle Book.

PACIFIC WINE AND SPIRIT REVIEW.

r^l^ND NOT^E/

A. L. Dowler, manager of the Pacific Coast Branch of Clarke Bros., returned from a very successful trip to Los Angeles during the latter part of the month. "I transacted a good business there," said Mr. Dowler, "and found condi- tions in my line quite as satisfactory as in prosperous years. Everything is all right down there."

The California Mineral Water Company has incorpor- ated with a capital stock of |50,000 to do business in Phoe- nix, San Diego, El Paso, New York and Chicago. In addi- tion to acquiring water-bearing lands the company will manufacture articles necessary to the business.

Rusconi & Fisher report business progressing quite satis- factorily in both th& retail and wholesale departments. Kennel Club is keeping up its popularity and progress, fos- tered by the able efforts of the only Charles Fisher. We are pleased to announce that Mr. Fisher is greatly im- proved in health and begins to look like his former sturdy self.

Charles B. Thompson, Superintendent of the Castle Rock Springs Company, at Castle Rock, this State, spent some time in the city during the month getting acquainted with the local trade and incidentally pocketing some orders for Castle Rock Water, which is making a good record in this market. The company has just adopted a new label, which is much more striking and attractive than the first effort.

"Business has been improving steadily throughout the month," said Donald McDonald, of McDonald & Cohn, 120 Front street. "We could stand some improvement, how- ever. We expect to enjoy a good winter trade and see no reason why we should be disappointed. Furthermore, we expect to have good times for three or four years to come." El Rey whisky is selling well.

D. P. Rossi, the well-known manufacturing druggist, is doing well with the Ferro Quina Bitters. His latest sale of importance was one carload — five hundred cases — to San Antonio, Texas. This speaks well for this branch of Cali- fornia industry, and shows that the Texans know a good thing when they see it and are good buyers as well. These bitters are growing in popularity steadily, as they de- serve to.

Mohn & Mohns, the well known wholesale wine and liquor dealers of 29 Market street, this city, enjoyed a good business during the month. Trade was eminently satisfactory in all lines, the demand along the Front be- ing better than usual. The house has a practical monopoly of the wine and liquor business done with the large fleet of steam schooners which sails from this port, and this alone makes a fine volume of trade.

With Naber, Alfs & Brune, November was a pretty good month, being far better than the preceding one. "We at- tribute much of the dullness during the latter part of the summer in this city to the various conclaves that were held here," said Mr. Alfs. "It is evident that many of the retail dealers overstocked in anticipation of a big trade from our visitors, and the business did not materialize. Hence they had to work off the surplus stock by degrees. Business is more satisfactory now than formerly. There are less losses, you get your money, and you get it quicker. We think the outlook is very flattering for good healthy trade."

The only James Raggi, of 624 Montgomery street, is getting his full share of the business on the downtown line. However, if there is any business in the town, James is bound to get it; not because he is handsome and genial, but because he delivers "the goods." Recently the young man has taken to fishing and hunting as diversions. As a fisherman, Raggi is a horrible failure, but as a slayer of "quackers," we regard him as a success, because he brought home the birds. It does not concern us as to where he got them, or how, for we had our share, and cannot consistently make any expose.

The famous Marquette whisky continues to grow in popularity wherever introduced. The brand was properly placed in the southern part of the State during the month. E. V. Cavanaugh, manager of the Pacific Coast branch of Grommes & Ullrich, accompanied by his general salesman, P. W. Costello, visited Los Angeles and other southern cities in the interest of the brand. The result was emi- nently satisfactory. The goods were placed strongly, not- withstanding that Los Angeles is a battle ground royal for that kind of business. As an illustration of Mr. Cavan- augh's abilities as a salesman, it may be stated that he sold to one retail firm a round lot of 100 barrels of whisky (straight) . He regards the outlook for retail trade as very promising.

The above awards have yet to be confirmed, first by the Superior Jury, and then by the National Commission, and as there has been nearly 40,000 entries, and awards made, it will be some time before the awards will be officially confirmed and announced. As far as I can learn there has been none of the above awards reduced, and perhaps some may be advanced on appeals.

Without desiring to obtain press notoriety or invite a discus- sion, I am forced in justice to myself to take exception to Mr. Wm. H. McNiel's report, as contained in your valuable Journal of Sept. 20th. In the first place, I quote from his report: "I found that, as usual at an American Exposition, r.« provision had been made for proper storage or care of our native wines. The foreign wines being in charge of the Custom officers, were stored in the basement of the Horticulture Building, West end, and were in fine shape." Allow me to correct this inaccuracy, and the false impression that may be en- gendered against the Vitlcultural Department, of which I have the honor to be the Manager.

In the first place, in the original plans for the Golden Wine Temple, I had asked for a cellar, but owing to the peculiar conditicn of the grounds and the building, a cellar would have been not only very ex- pensive, but impracticable. I had anticipated t'lis matter as you will notice. As to the foreign wires being stored in the basement of the Horticulture Building, and being in fine shape, t'.-.is is also inaccurate, as I was told by both foreign Commissioners, French ard German, that their wines suffered terribly in this so-called "fire storage," rot only on account of the heat and humidity but on accourt of the foul odors in this basement or cellar. Although our California wires, es- pecially the oldest dry wines, might have suffered somewhat by charge of temperature, they were in as good, in fact better condition that the average foreign wines, ard the numerous awards that we have re- ;:eived for our wines speaks volumes as to their quality ard condi- tion. I also beg to call your attention to another glaring inaccuracy in Mr. Wine Juror McNiel's report, and quote from same: "After a short delay in obtaining a few necessary articles (what he me.ant by this I don't know), the work of the day began In earnest. Owing to

the lack oi proper storage, the wines did not present their usual good appearance, and it is a wonder they received tae recognition accorded them."

la rebuttal of the above I beg to call your attention to certain parts of my letter addressed to Mr. C. Bundschu, Chairman of the Joint Cal- ifornia Vitlcultural exhibitors, of Sept. 30th, from which I now quote: "Now, regarding the jury. I intimated to you as far back as August 10th that I had been informed that Mr. Henry Lachman and Dr. Wiley were appointed upon the wine jury. On August 20th I notified Mr. Henry Laci.man and Dr. Wiley of their appointments. I certainly lost no time in this important matter, and if there was a lack of official communication the blame rests not upon your humble servant, but upon either F. W. Taylor, Superintendent of the Agriculture Building, or our Commissioners. As it is, Mr. Lachman arrived on the Sunday evening preceding the last day, Sept. 13th, that the jury was to sit. On the arrival of Mr. Lachman I was at the depot and before allowing him to go to his hotel I had arranged with Mr. McNeil to meet Messrs. Calvert and Guestier, members of the French jury, in' order to out- line the work regarding the controversy of using foreign labels and which it seemed was cut and dried by the jury. I gave Mr. Lachman the cue and requested him simply to listen to wjiat the gentlemen had to say and then to stand firm oij our claims. Thi^ little star- chamber work I am pleased to Say resulted in the settlement of this vexed question of labels to the satisfaction of all concerned.

J. Calvert, of Messrs. J. Calvert & Son, and Mr. Guestier, of Barton & Guestier, of Bordeaux, France, representing the largest shippers of dry wines of France to the United States, represented a consensus of opinion of the French wine jury who formed fully 75 per cent of the International wine jury. These gentlemen representing the very highest type of honorable merchants, met us most gracefully on this question of labels and it was then decided that where there was no attempt to deceive, and where the words "California and types" were used on labels, they would pass the jury.

"Now, regarding the action of Mr. McNeil whose appointment on the .iury was as much a surprise to me as to yourself, he had no right to send you the findings of the jury until same were officially promul- gated. It was a breach of confidence, and had he acted with discretion it would have saved some heart burning and relieved this department of supposed lack of intelligence and protection of its interests.

"You say in yours of the 21st that 'I consider the appointment of Mr. I achman as Chairman of the jury somewhat of a compliment to California, ard on the other side I almost feel as if this concession had been made to pacify us on the unwarrantable default of a com- munication when the work of the jury would be commenced. You must have known in the latter part of August when Mr. Wetmore arrived, that the jury would progress with their work. We, here in California, certainly did rot krow a thing about it.' Now, as to that, Mr. Bundschu, I tried my best and requested my Commissioners to let me know exactly when my department would be visited by the jury. They did all they could in the premises, and I must pay a tribute to Mr. Taylor, Superintendent of this building and head of this department, for his efforts to delay the departure of a majority of the foreign jury- men in order to give California a fair show. I waited from day to day to receive rews of Mr. Lachman's departure. The members of the French jury protested at the delay and demanded an immediate examination of our wines on the 7th of September. I called upon Mr. Taylor and said to him, 'Mr. Taylor, we have not a single representa- tive man on this jury and we must fight for delay. I expect Mr. lachman here every day, and ycu must assist me,' and he did go so far as to refuse to give the key to the warehouse where the French wines were stored on some excuse in order to delay their examination as long as possible. When I was informed that the 13th of September was the last day that the complete foreign jury would be on hand, I immediately set to work, and after three of the hardest davs' work that I ever did in my life, I had segregated and classified every one of our wires, the Zicfandels in one group, the clarets and medoc types in another group, the Burgundies in another group, etc., down the lite. All our white wines I had placed on ice, also our sparkling wires, and the other wines were at a normal temperature. This work took up Friday, Saturday and all of Sunday. On Monday at 10 o'clock I had my tables and the glasses and crackers all pre- pared for the jury, but they came in with a rush, and instead of taVirg the wines as I had them classified they demanded all the varieties of one maker, and these varieties were subdivided into

four groups. There was no regard paid to classification and no allowances made for me to hide or conceal the labels, but dry and sweet wines were sampled heterogenously. I would not go through such a two and a half days' experience again not for a dozen expo- sitions as it nearly put me back in the same nervous and broken down condition that I was a month ago. The above I hope will refute Mr. McNeil's unwarranted and untruthful charges that the wines were presented in a bad shape and there was no system. I beg also to take exception at Wine Juror McNeil's remark regarding the award made to Paul Masson's sparkling wines, and quote from his remark, as follows: "One happy incident occurred which I must not omit for It proved a credit to the individual and to California. The jury were about to answer a call of Mr. Taylor's, when Mr. Calvet, Mr. Guestier and others of our foreign colleagues said, 'Wait a moment, we wish to sample one wine/ which was Paul Masson's Sparkling Wine. Had the word champagne been on the bottle, it would have been rejected. One and all announced it a Grand Prix. It was served warm." If my memory serves me right, this so-called "one happy incident," is as inaccurate as the balance of Wine Juror McNeil's remarks, for Paul Masson's Champagre was served in honor of the visit of Monsieur Picard, Commissioner General of France, and representative of President Loubet of the French Re- public. I had half a dozen bottles of Paul Masson's Sparkling Wine on ice at the proper temperature, and had also a number of bottles at the normal temperature of the room, and as an object lesson to Wine Juror McNeil as expert, and which I think every well known true expert will coincide with me is, that the only way to judge as to the quality of a sparkling wine it must be tasted or sampled at the normal temperature, and not cold, for it is well known that any sparkling wine, whether old process or carbonated will puzzle the average man or even an expert when served at a tempera- ture of about forty degrees Fahrenheit or iced. Paul Masson's wine was judged on Its merits, and received its just dues in a Grand Prix."

My dear Mr. Wood, I would not have taken the time and place in your valuable columns to answer this report of Wine Juror McNeil's, but I wished to relieve myself of any lack of attention in protecting the interests of the exhibitors in my department. I am gratified that, not only has the Golden Wine Temple of California been one of the most attractive exhibits in this vast Agriculture building, but I sincerely believe that the liberality and enterprise of its exhibitors will be rewarded by practical results in the future. I have dis- seminated the gospel of the grape among thousands and thousands of people, have talked to them of the freer use of the American wines, under American names and labels and thus far have sent in orders for about 300 cases, distributed among nearly all the exhibi- tors who desired their wines placed before the consumer. I have opened and sampled nearly 8,000 bottles of wine, distributed the price lists of same, and sung their praises and worth, and dwelt on the fact that our wines were pure and that no adulteration was practiced in our State. All of this will bring its results, for like planting the field, you must wait until the seed germinates, and raturo rewards with growth and fruit.

We have been seriously handicapped by the favoritism shown the Austrian, German ard Italian Wire Exhibitors, who had a Concession, not orly to sell by the bottle, but by the glass. I made at least a half a dozen attempts and protests, and demanded (the last time), with the assistance of Mr. Clarence J. Wetraore, for the Concession, on the ground that this was an American Exposition and that the American exhibitors were entitled to the same privileges as the foreign exhibitor. Notwithstanding that the Chief of Concessions recommended the Con- cession to the California Viticulture Department to sell by the bottle, on a plea from Mr. Wetmore and myself, our demands were refused by Mr. Taylor, Chief of the Agriculture Department, who admitted our rights and the unfairness of the Foreign Concession, but said that it was impossible to give California this Concession, for they had com- promised his department in the monopoly to the foreign exhibitors.

San Prancisco, Gal,

Had I been able to secure this Concession, it would have made, not only quite a little sum to the credit of my department, but would have been a splendid advertisement for our wines.

Now, since there has been a certain amount of discussion dissemin- ated through our beautiful exhibit regarding our wines, what we need now is foreign endorsement and recognition and a splendid oppor- tunity offers itself to realize this much devout consummation, to wil: The International Exposition at Liege, Belgium, which opens May 15th, 1905. I have been approached a number of times by the Representative of Belgium, asking for California to make a display not only of its Viticultural resources, but also of its Agricultural and Horticultural products, and they assure me that this exhibit would be one of the greatest attractions at their exposition. Belgium has already taken very kindly to our wines and also to our fruits, which they, on account of the lack of connections, must buy in the Hamburg market, and I feel satisfied that if California will take kindly to this new field to conquer, that we will, not only be able to find newer and greater mar- kets for our Viticultural and Horticultural products, but it will be the means of advertising the resources of California, resulting in a very large addition to our industrial population. What we want in Cali- fornia is not only producers but consumers. It is well krown that were it not for our very large foreign population in the United States, there would be but little consumption of our wines, for the American, as yet, as a class, are not wine drinkers.

I should like very much, my dear Mr. Wood, that you should lake up this very important matter of the Exposition at Liege. I thick that an editorial from your able pen on this matter would result in erlist- ing the aid of our press in creating a favorable sertiment fcr this important matter.

As to the Golden Wine Temple, I have received a bid from one of the leading contractors of Paris, France, who cffers to take down and replace in perfect condition our beautiful exhibit, for a very modest sum, but my idea would be to have a certain amount of ground in this Exposition at Liege, and to put up a representative California building, wherein our resources could be practically installed under one roof.

and make it not only an attractive but a business feature.

Hoping, dear sir, that I have not trespassed upon your good nature and your valuable columns, I remain.

Very truly yours,

Milwaukee Correspondence.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 22.— The best thing that can be said of the wine and brewing industries, is that they are thriving. Fall trade is on in fine style, and busi- ness in both the wholesale and retail lines is f,uch that the year's aggregate sales will foot up considerable more than in 1903. This means a great deal, as last year was a bumper year. The wines and brandies Avhich are coming here from the Coast are considered better quality than last year.

Edmund S. Thatcher, Avho handles a large quantity of fine wines, brandies, whiskies, etc., and who is a chemist of more than local reputation, speaking of the California goods, said to me :

"I must say for the California people, that they are now making the choicest port wines I have ever seen. The last lot I received is a better color and has a better fiavor than any port I have tasted during all the time I have handled wines. This holds true, though in a lesser degree with other products of the Coast. If we could only get this same standard of excellence right through the year, and year in and year out, it would not be long until there Avould be absolutely no business in any other kind of wines.

"The brandies are also strictly first class this fall, though I had considerable trouble last year. I bought what was supposed to be California goods through a Chi- cago 'barrel house' and I got soaked good and plenty. It tasted about as much like brandy as molasses does like skim milk."

There has been an enormous quantity of grapes grown throughout the East this year. But in this country, or section, they are grown for table use rather tlian from which to make wine. Of course a great deal of Avine is made from the Concord, the Delegare and the 'Wine' A'arieties, but this, as a rule, is "home-made" and not for sale. It is usually unfermented, too, and is known in this section as "baby Avine." One of the farmer papers pub- lished in this State, gave the folloAving hint on Iioav to make wine, and it need hardly be said that the trouble connected Avith folloAving out the directions would be greater than the cost of something good:

"There is no kind of fruit juice that is so easily and cheaply made as that from ripe grapes. If the l)est (pmlity of juice is to be made, the grapes must be of a good A'ariety and Avell ripened. Put the clusters in a tub of Avater and rinse them off if they are at all dirty. Then pick off only those that are good and put them in a coarse sack to pres;--. Use any means that Avill gently s(iueeze out the juice. Do not use much force, or the juice Avill be dark and murky. The residue in the bag can be utilized for making a loAver grade of juice or put into soak for vinegar after it is fer- mented a little.

"Put the juice on to heat in a vessel that Avill go inside a Avash boiler, and tliat is set inside of it on a board or any otlier thing that Avill keep it from coming into contact with the fire. When it has reached 180 degrees by the thermo- meter, take it off and set it aAvay to settle for twenty-four hours. Then put it in glass jars or bottles and set these on a board on the bottom of the Avashboiler, Imving Avnter about them nearly to the tops. When the Avater lias at- tained 180 degrees, put in the corks, wax them or other-

Avise seal them. Such juice Avill be far better than that Avhich has been boiled or treated Avith sugar in any degree. It Avill keep indefinitely."

Contracts Avere let at ManitoAvoc, Wis., yesterday, for the erection of a large brcAvery for Kunz & Bleser to cost 1100,000. The plant Avill be completed April 1, 1905. Ncav and modern nmchinery for the process of beer breAA'ing Avill be installed, and electricity Avill be used throughout for motor poAver.

M. C. Blade of this city, Avho looks after the distribution of Hunter's Baltimore Rye, is a firm belieA^er in advertis- ing, and is using a great deal of space in the ncAvspapers. His "tower of strength" ad is very attractive.

"Large shipments of beer are being taken into Mexico at the present time," said L. M. Martin, of St. Louis, Mo., who happened in Mihvaukee a feAV days ago. Mr. J^Iartiil is interested in brcAving supplies and has traveled all over the country and in many foreign lands.

"They are increasing e\'ery year in spite of the fact that revenue duties on beer are very high. This duty lias been levied to protect the brcAving industries in Mexico, of Avhich there are several at the present time. AA-ith good prospects of many more in the near future. The largest ones are situated in the City of Mexico. Hops is another thing that is being brought into the country rapidly, per- haps more so in the last couple of years than at any other time in the history of Mexico. Much of the land that could

The American Malting Co. has begun work on its new plant in Milwaukee. The iron structural work will make it one of the best built plants of its kind in the country.

Chas. J. Davidson of this city has just returned from his tenth visit to the St. Louis Exposition and he declares that California's wine exhibit is one of the most interest- ing at the fair. "I understand the Californians got all the prizes but three or four," said Mr. Davidson, "and I might add they should have had all. I would like to have a car- load of the fancy stock exhibite<l there."

The retail business has never been better and at several leading places the barkcciwrs say there is more "sour wine" (claret) called for nowadays than ever before.

and the rivalry was very keen, the distinction conferred by this double award is one to be justly proud of. It speaks volumes for the purity and quality of the Sunny Brook whisky.

We take pleasure in reprotlucing with this article a picture of the unique exhibit nuxde by the Sunny Brook Distillery Company — a model distillery in full operation—

in which the entire process of making high-class whisky is being shown daily to thousands of interested visitors. The whisky distilled in this plant is actually barrelled and stored in a Special Government Bonded Warehouse in charge of a Government Storekeeper. The exhibit is one of the most interesting sights of the Fair.

PACIFIC WINE AND SPIRIT REVIEW.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22d :— Southern California wine- makers are much exercised over the report of the medal awards at the World's Fair to exhibitors of Califor- nia wines. They note with manifest displeasure the fact that two of the three gold medals awarded are given to Los Angeles firms that do not make wines at all, and get their stocks from makers who were not eyen represented in the roster of prize winners. Several of the most prom- inent wine-makers of the South are outspoken in their in- dignant protest against the World's Fair judges giving a gold medal to a grocer and a silver medal to the man that made the wine the grocer exhibited.

In Los Angeles the report of the awards is taken to in- dicate that the judges awarded the prizes for the labels and not for the contents of the bottles. H. Jevne, a grocer, and II. J. Woollacott, a wholesale dealer, got gold medals, but neither makes the wines they exhibit. The other gold medal winner in Los Angeles is the Sierra Madre Vintage Company. The silver medal winners are the Italian Vine- yard Company and the Southern California Wine Com- pany. These awards have incited much hard feeling in the local wine trade, for the makers claim the concerns that are merely distributors are not entitled to prizes for the excellence of the goods they have put on show.

In the recent election several changes were affected in the conditions in Los Angeles county. Six pi'ecincts that went "dry" two years ago, went "wet" this time. In a summary of results it is seen that by the votes of the electors, twenty-two saloons throughout the county are put out of business. These twenty-seven were in seven pre- cincts. It is said the Anti-Saloon League is far from satis- fied with the result of the election.

Wine-makers of the South are disappointed in the out- put of the season. They agree the loss in the crop has amounted to at least 33 1-3 per cent and in certain cases even riioi'e. The Italian Vineyard Company officers admit the crop Avas fully one-third less than they counted upon, but the quality of the wines is up to the standard. Makers are looking for 40 cents for sweet wines this year and thfey are confident of getting it.

D. B. Jerrue, who has bought a lot at Avalon, Oatalina Island, and will build on it a theater to be run in connec- tion with his cafe, expresses the greatest confidence in the future of that place as an all-the-year-'round resort.

E. S. Green, who will manage the bar at the Ascot Park races, announces that an innovation will be introduced. He says that the only whisky that will be dispensed over the race track bar will be two famous straight brands. It is agreed that this is a radical departure for race track bars, but Mr. Green says he really is in earnest in the in- tention to serve straight goods to the race track patrons. M. Lawrence has the bar concession for the races to begin in the last week of November.

that the city is overwhelmingly republican, and "Bert" is on the demicratic ticket, his friends would bet large sums upon his election. He stands a good show despite the odds.

Bol King is again back in the local liquor business and can be found beliind the bar at the Wellington, a place that seems to be in great luck in the selection of mixologists.

W. C. Houser, the popular manager for the local house of Sherwood & Sherwood, has resigned to go into other business. He will quit his present place Dec. 1st, and lias not yet announced his future plans.

Alex L. Semple, Vice-President of the C. P. Moorman Company, distillers of Louisville, Ky., was here recently in the interest of the J. H. Cutter whisky.

E. L. Maxwell and E. L. May, conducting the "M & M" sialoon at 115 South Spring street, are, at the time this letter is sent, negotiating the sale of their saloon. It is said several persons are bidding for it but John Manning, formerly of the Basket, seems to have the inside track. Maxwell and May have bought a saloon in Reno, Nev., and will go to that city as soon as they close out here.

Salter Brothers, Will and Charlie, at the Magnolia, are holding the big trade the place has enjoyed so long.

At the liome of G. Piuma, over the big Piuma winery, on Humboldt street, there was a notable wedding feast Sun- day, Nov. 20th, when a large party of relatives and friends celebrated the wedding of Kattaria Piuma and Francisco Fernandez. It Avas a characteristic Italian and Spanish festival. W.

The M. Hommel Wine Company is pressing heavily and its vintage this season will be very much larger than it was in 1903. This concern makes a specialty of champagne, of which it has enormous quantities in its cellars. It was the AVhite b^tar champagne of the M. Hommel Wine Com- pany which recently took a gold medal at the World's Fair in St. Louis. — Bonfort's.

A. D. Barbara, well known as an internal revenue broker, is candidate for city Assessor. But for the fact

One of the finest stomach tonics ever placed on the market is California Fig Bitters, manufactured by the California Extract of Fig Company of this city. This Bitters first became popular among the miners of Califor- nia who usetl it extensively in the early days, when its sale was confined principally to this State. At the present time "The Leader," California Fig Bitters, is to be found on every first-cla.«s bar in the West, and is also shipped in large quantities into the Middle and Eastern States. A rare combination of figs and herbs, it is delightful to the taste, acts like a charm, and its uniformity of quality is something of which its manufacturers may justly be proud.

The Olympic Brewing ('ompany of Olympia, Wash., has evidently determined that this is an important field to cul- tivate in the interest of Olympia beer. The company is now erecting an extensive bottling works at the corner of Greenwich and Sansome streets, where the facilities for receiving the bulk beer by sea and rail, and for reshipping are unexcelled. The plant will be completed at an early date.

The Salem Brewing Association, Salem, Ore., is plan ning the enlargement of its plant at a cost of f 2.')0,000. A malt house and storage plant will be built and, some ma chinery and new boilers installed.

The Proof of the Pudding.

Historical Dry Monopole.

THAT Messrs. Klieinstrom Bios, of Cincinnati, the man- ufacturers of the celebrated Karl Kiefer Multiple Per- fection Filter, have a p;reatly superior beer and wine filter, is ijroved by the fact that the largest houses in the country are installing their filter in preference to all other makes. The Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association, after using the Karl Kiefer Filter for several mouths, under date of Janu- ary 9, 1904, stated : "It has proven itself entirely satisfac tory, doing all you claim for it. When we are in the mar ket again, you will certainly hear from us.'' In October they ordered another large size filter, which surely is the very best recommendation as to the merits of the filter. On top of this strong testimonial comes the announcement that the St. Louis Exposition has awarded the grand prize for filters exclusively, to this wonderful filter, official proof that the manufacturers are not exaggerating its worth. In order to be in line, we would advise all progressive l)rewers and wine houses to investigate the merits of the Karl Kiefer Perfection Filter, as the saving in time and labor, together with the excellent results, more than compensate for the outlay. To be appreciated, the filter should be seen, and Mr. L. Siebenhauer will be pleased to show it and ex- plain its workings, at the local office of Messrs. Rheinstrom Bros., 125 Mission street.

lASH'SBITTERC

THE house of Heidsieck & Co., Keims, founded in the year 1785, through its champagne. Dry Monopole, is known throughout the whole civilizc<l world.

The cellars (►f this firm occupy five acres of ground under the city of Keims, and are even more extensive about eight miles out, at the Chateau de Ludes, in the midst of the very best vineyards of the champagne district. The cellars are four stories deep, cut out of the natural chalk soil, where the temperature never varies more than 1 degree, but keeps at about 45 degrees the year round. This is necessary ill the making of champagne, which requires five years to ma- ture from the time of the vintage till it is ready for the market.

In the year 1885, to celebrate its one hundredth anniver- sary, the present firm of Walbaum, Luling, (loulden & Co.. successors to Heidsieck & Co., gave 100,000 francs to the poor of Reims.

SiBce 1818 the house has been continuously the purveyor to the Royal Prussian f'ourt, and has recently been the recipient of a new and distinguished honor in having con; ferred upon it imperial letters patent appointing them pur- veyors to his Imperial ifajesty, the Czar of Russia. Furth' ermore, the house is purveyor to the German Emperor, the Emperor of Austria, the Mikado of Japan, etc., and ip general, Heidsieck & Co. Dry Monopole is the leading champagne in England and the British Colonies. '

The agents for the United States are Messrs. Gustay Duutze & Co., of New York. Dry ^hmopole on I he i*aci'".c Coast is represented by J. Hammant, 119 Broadway, San Francisco. 5

Compromise in Cases of Violations of nal Revenue Laws.

Inter=

The right to compromise Internal Revenue cases conferred by Section 3229, Revised Statutes, embraces the crim- inal liability.

Tkeasury DepartmbnTj

Office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue^ Washington, D. C. October 24, 1904.

Gentlemen : Your letter of the 20th inst. in regard to compromise violations of the Internal Revenue laws has been received.

In reply, you are informed that the law provides that of- fenses may be compromised by the Commissioner with the concurrent action of the Secretary of the Treasury. If suit has been commenced, the recommendation of the At torney General is also required.

The law, Section 3229, Revised Statutes, expressly pro-i vides that any criminal case arising under the Internal Revenue laws may be compromised. The right to compro- mise conferred by this section has always been understood to embrace the criminal liability of the defendant up to the time the sentence is imposed (13 Op. Attorney General, 479).

The Supreme Court in the case of United States versus Chouteau (102 U. S. 610), recognized the right. In that case Chouteau had been indicted and the prosecution com- promised, and it was held that the compromise was a bar to a suit on the bond for penalties. The court said :

"Under the authority of an act of Congress a compro- mise with the Government was effected, by which a specific sum was paid by him and received by the Government, 'in

full satisfaction, compromise and settlement of said indict- iiients and prosecutions,' which were accordingly dis- missed and abandoned. That compromise necessarilj' cov- ered the causes or grounds of the prosecutions, and conse- quently released the party from liability for the offenses charged and any further punishment for them."

Respectfully,

Robert Williams^ Ju . Acting Commissioner.

Rye Prices Jumping.

NOT since 1897 has the situation in the rye whisky market been duplicated in the matter of prices, etc. It is doubtful if any of the Pennsylvania and Maryland dis- tilleries will operate this fall, and it is predicted that the same condition will prevail throughout the United States. Those who will manufacture will do so only because of certain contracts made for delivery of goods prior to pres- ent developments. This shortage in production has already occasioned its natural consequence — an enhancement of prices all along the line — and trade experts prophesy that within sixty days there will be even greater increase. The result will be that younger whisky will be consumed. The short crop of 1897-98, coupled with present conditions and increasing demand, will mean that, in a very short time there will be less than a four years' supply of rye whisky in -the country, whereas there should be an eight years' supply.

Restaurants Were *'Dry."

FOK the first time in the history of San Francisco, the restaurants were "dry" on election day. Last year the Police Commission ordered the saloons to close np tight during the polling hours, which they faithfully did, but the Commission overlooked the restaurants, the average of which is as much a bar as restaurant. The consequence was that while the retail licpior places were closed all day, the eating houses did the biggest drink-selling business in their history. All of which Avas a shameful hardship upon the saloon men, and all due to the carelessness of the Commis- sion. At that time their attention was called to the im- position in no gentle way, and the result was seen in the election of the 8th inst. The restaurants were open for the purpose of feeding their patrons, but their bar attachment was not working. The result was that all parties got fair play, as they should. This policy will certainly be followed in the future.

THE few sports in the State who are members of clubs that own preserves for duck-shooting purposes, and who have practically driven the public from all good shoot- ing grounds, are proposing to finish the monopoly combina- tion. In short, it is announced that at the next session of the Legislature they will endeavor to force through a meas- ure which will make it a serious misdemeanor to sell ducks in the nmrket and elsewhere. This means only that these gentlemen want all the shooting for themselves and friends, and that the enjoyment of a good roast duck will be impos- sible to the ordinary citizen, except he be favored by soine one of these monopolists who may be generous.

This is preposterous. The same law might as well be aj)- plied to all sorts of protected game, so that the common peo- ple could by no legal means enjoy a taste of game in this country, where it is plentiful.

Few men in the trade are or can become members of such clubs, but they like their sprig or "can," and if they want to sample these dainty morsels in the future, they must get their hammers out and block the game of these favored few who want everything in sight in the shape of a duck. It is a fight worth making.

Now is the time of the year when a "Celerytone" cock- tail is exceptionally palatable. It has a delicious, rich, unttA' flavor and an aroma that is unsurpassed. Aside from these virtues it has marked tonic effect upon the nerves and is at the same time a dainty appetizer. A Cel- erytoue cocktail is made from Dunkley's Celerytone, the standard preparation of the kind, nmde in Kalamazoo, ^lidi. It is served at all leading bars and restaurants. The E. G. Lyons & Haas Co. of tliis city are special wholesali^ agents for ("elervtone.

Charles Kaufmann, of the Eagle, O'Farrell and Mason streets, has recovered his usual health and good spirits, and is devoting all his time to the promotion of the always suc- cessful business at the old stand. Mr. Kaufmann takes a cheerful view of the trade outlook, but thinks the entire liquor interests should take all possible measures to meet future dangers, such as menaced the trade at the last elec- tion. Organizaticm is the wall of protection that must be thrown up to meet the coming onslaught. Mr. Kaufmann finds business improving in a satisfactory' manner.

Ab.e Leam of the Noble, 1154 Market street, is enjoying an excellent trade these days, and business continues to grow steadily Avith him. The location is (me of the best on the upi)er line, and tlie place is one of the handsomest in that section of the citv.

riaraschino Cherries will Be Dearer*

The Spoon vs. The Shaker.

IT is a good thing for tlie busy barkeeper that the drink- ing public does not generally know the vast difference in a drink made Avith the shaker and the one manufactured Avith a spoon and patience," said one of the veterans of the liT'e a few days ago, while carefulh^ compounding a good, old-fashioned punch.- His attention was called to the super- excellence of the punches made by him and those manu- factured in other first-class places Avhere the shaker was used, and this brought out the foregoing remark. What lie meant was, that it takes time, as well as skill, to concoct a perfectly made drink, and that the only way to make it is to use the spoon unsparingly.

"The spoon-blending of the liquor and other ingredi- ents,'' he continued, "brings out all the true flavor there is in the liquor, while, on the contrary, the shaker comes pretty near to cutting it all out, by the action of the^ ice. Even when a poor grade of liquor is used, the spoon-madf beverage will be found far and away the best. Again, there is nothing fascinating in the violent efforts of the man be- hind the bar, especially when he is operating a shaker on a hot day, but in the twirl of the spoon and the varying colors of the mixture, there is a certain charm, and there is much of the pleasure of anticipation for the customer while he is watching the construction of his favorite beverage While the making of the drinks in this old-style way takes much more time, it pays in the long run, particularly when you are dealing with a class of patrons who can appre- ciate good things.

"Of course," concluded he, "there are some who prefer to have their mixtures shaken, and you can be assured that the man behind the bar is more than willing to accommo- date him. It is a vast saving of work."

The well-known retail establishment of Denny O'Sulli- van & Co., IMarket street, opposite Powell, changed hands recently. The new proprietors are Messrs. C. Harrington and B. C. Sharkey. They are both widely known generally and have a specially large acquaintance among the local politicians. They should succeed in such a fine location.

NEW YoRK^ Nov. 20. — In announcing their intention of advancing prices on Maraschino cherries on January 1, a prominent packing company gives as a reason the probability of a short. crop of cherries in California next year. They state that the warm rains in September have caused the cherry trees to blossom early this month and subsequent frost having nipped the buds all cherry grow- ers in the State report to them that there is a very small chance for a crop next year.

Two and One=IIalf Years After

IT has been suggested to me by the John J. Fulton Company, proprietors of the Fulton Renal Com- pound, a remedy for Bright's Disease, that I write a supplementary report of my experience with that preparation, for publication in my own paper as well as elsewhere. Considering my good fortune in having been prevailed upon to take the treatment when I was given up to die and was at death's door, I feel it my duty to do all I can to let other sufferers know of the value of this remarkable medicine.

After being in the hands of regular physicians for many weeks, during which time I rapidly failed, I reached the point where my relatives were notified that I had not more than sixty days to live. Thirty days later when my own judgment told me that I had reached the end of the way, I was induced, against my own desires, to begin taking the Renal Compound. With- in two weeks it had brought to me normal sleep and an encouraging appetite, and within five weeks I was in a condition to attend to active business. I continued the treatment until I felt that I was a well man. This was two and a half years ago, and within the past year and a half, I can say emphatically that I have enjoyed better health than at any time in the past twenty-five years. To those who are suffering from this terrible disease, I would say, lose no time in going under this treatment. The regular physician cannot save you and the medicine cannot harm you.

Sincerely yours,

"The Bonded," wliicli constitutes tlio new retail depart- ment of the F. Cavaynai'o Co., Clay and ilontjjoniery streets, is true to its name. It is the pioneer in this city, in the fact that it serves, exclusively over the bar, as a bar whisky, bottled-in-bond goods, ilessrs. (Jates and Cavag- naro Avisely selected as their standard W. H. McBrayer's Cedar Brook, and whoever calls for whisky is served with this famous brand, bottled in bond. Of course i)atrons who desire another brand can have Avhatever they want. The ex- periment is provin{>- a success, as The Bonded is establish- inj^ a very desirable trade. This kind of missionary work should be encouraji:ed by the people who are making the strenuous fight for bottle-bonded goods.

On October 12, 1904, at the Planters' Hotel, St. Louis, Mo., a reception and dinner were tendered his Excellency. Banion Corral, Secretary of the Interior and Vice-Presi- dent-elect of the Mexican United States, upon which (occa- sion we note Veuve Clic(iuot Chanij)agne and Apollinarlej Mineral \^'ater were served.

Dollman's (^afe, at 828 Pine street, has become one of the most popular resorts in the downtown district. It is right in the heart of the business, financial and insurance sec- tion, and the trade of the house is drawn from this class, which is the most desirable to be had. The place itself is one of the largest and most attractive in the West, and the service as well as the goods is unexcelled. The same praise is due to the merchants' mid-day lunch, which is excep- tionally excellent. Mr. Dollman reports business picking up nicely.

Passing of the City's Oldest Restaurant,

THE recently demolished Mint Restaurant, at 605 Com- mercial street, which will in a few days be succeeded by the new establishment, was the oldest continuous place of the kind in San Francisco. It was established early in 1853 by Hugh J. Clayton, a then famous caterer, and was fami- liarly known as "Clayton's" for several years. Some time after the United States Mint (opposite Clayton's) had been in operation, the place became known as the "Mint," a name that has been maintained for the past half-century. The Annals of San Francisco, published in this city in 1854, has this to say (page 642) of Clayton's, in speaking of the various eating houses and restaurants of the time. "There was still another and far better class of establishments, the habitual visitors to which were people of the very best character. Clayton's well-known saloon, which still exists on Commercial street, was one of the first of these. Here the most respectable citizens repaired to take their glass of punch, glass of ale, a broiled quail, or oyster stew, a cup of coffee, or whatever delicacy they might require. Here they would meet, undisturbed by anything offensive to the most refined habits and taste, to talk over the affairs of the times and spend an evening in a quiet and rational way."

The same remarks would apply to the place right along during its existence under the various gentlemanly and ambitious proprietors. It was always first class, respect- able and eminently satisfactory. Drinks from the start were twenty-five cents by the glass until 1875, when the prevailing price, twelve and a half cents, or a "bit," ob- tained. The last drink and meal were served in the place on Saturday evening, August 6, 1904. It had been in con- tinuous existence for more than fifty-one years. The old building was then torn down to make way for the handsome structure now about to be opened.

Among those who were proprietors of the Mint during its long career were, in 1856, Salvin P. Collins and Ezeikel Wilson, who formerly kept the American Exchange, a pop- ular hotel on the northwest corner of Sansome and Halleck

streets. The Mint was kept by S. P. Collins and Horace Porter, from 1857 to 1865. Horace Porter kept it in 1866, Collins having retired and opened the famous place (still running) at the southwest corner of Montgomery and Cali- fornia streets. The Mint was kept by Samuel Gardner & Co. from 1867 to 1874. In 1875 D. B. Magee kept it, and from that time to 1880 it was in the hands of Jackson Jor- dan, a famous colored chef, popularly known as "Jackson." He had as an understudy a bright young native of the Flowery Kingdom, called "Charlie," the same talented cook who has tickled the palate of thousands of good livers, from 1876 to the time of the demolition of the building — a period of more than twenty years. The many patrons of the place will be glad to learn that Charlie will officiate in the cuisine of the new house. The success of the Mint is due greatly to the wonderful talent of this modest Celestial.

During the years 1881-2-3, "Manuel" Cota, another well- known caterer, conducted the restaurant. "Ned" Edwards, now with Haquette at the Palace of Art on Post street, suc- ceeded A. R. Wescott in 1895. "Old Tim" Riordan ran the place from 1897 until May, 1903. In June, 1903, three well- known gentlemen, sons of pioneers, and old-time patrons of the establishment, under the name of the North Side Commercial Company, bought out "Old Tim," and they, with Charlie as chef and a competent man in charge of the wet goods department, under the direction of the accom- plished caterer, Mr. Raymond Riego, kept the Mint up to its long famous standard, until the date afore-mentioned.

Thousands of San Francisco pioneers, with their sons and daughters, with their lady friends and relatives, have patronized this old, quiet and hospitable inn. Within its walls events have transpired which helped materially to make the social, commercial and political history of the city and State. It had been for years the headquarters of . the better class of politicians, merchants, doctors, lawyers, ' artists, miners and public officials. Governors, Senators and Congressmen have foregathered here in the good olc Californian way and been royally entertained. Welcome to the old Mint redivivus.

Dick Perry, who has charge of the retail department of the Golden Eagle Distilleries Co., 419 Montgomery street, is one of the recognized accomplished mixers on the line, but he achieved a distinction a few days ago that has given the other fellows a marked tinge of green in their coun- tenances. Last year a gentleman from New Hampshire, visited San Francisco and became acquainted with the courteous Mr. Dick, as well as his works of art. The Yankee gent went to his faraway home and remembered the cocktails he had enjoyed at 419; he could get nothing like them at home. In consequence, he sent on a rush order for the mixture of a goodly quantity of these beverages to be shipped to New Hampshire in time for the holidays, in order, as he said, to show his friends some of the wonderful products of California that are not lauded in the daily press.

The Dipsea Inn, on Bolinas beach, Marin County, is one of the most ideal winter and summer resorts in the State, or in the whole country, for that matter. The climate is perfect, the surroundings all that could be desired and the table and service excellent. Dipsea is comparatively easy of access, being reached by the North Shore, the Tamalpais Scenic Eailway and by a few miles of staging. The whole trip is one grand changing panorama, the scenery alone well repaying the time and money expended. Prices at the hotel are moderate. For particulars apply W. Neu- mann & Co., 501 Market street, this city.

Charles Geggus, of Geggus & Sheridan, No. 7 Stockton street, has purchased the Merchants' Inn, at 12 California street. This is one of the most valuable properties in the downtown district, and was formerly owned by Nason & Hogan who had their license taken from them by the Po- lice Commission. Mr. Geggus will most certainly be highly successful in this excellent location.

Tommy Walsh, 733 Market street, reports trade on the upgrade with all signs pointing to a continuation in that direction. Walsh's is one of the standard places of the city and holds an exceptionally desirous clientele. Mr. Walsh is making good progress in putting the finishing touches on his shooting lodge up near the Petaluma marshes, where he spends considerable time in quest of the "quackers."

Andrew Dibble of the Lacey, opposite the Palace, has returned to the management of his business after taking a layoff for recuperation. He finds business improving steadily and looks for a fine winter's trade. The excellent mid-day lunch served at the Lacey, has met with a gratify- ing reception and deserves to, as it is one of the finest in the whole city.

A Liquid Lay.

Backward, turn backward, oh time in thy flight, Through years of long aging I've passed in one night ; I'm supposed to be Whiskey at least eight years old And labeled as such, I am bottled and sold.

Synthetically built in a minute or less

From Proof Spirits, Ethers and burnt Sugar Q. S.

I look and I taste like good Whiskey matured

And I'm sold at a price by which thousands are lured.

I am a misnomer, the worst of my kind. And like all such fakes, am to evil inclined. Manufactured by men whose repute is A-one The Lord alone knows how much mischief Ive done.

'Tis a fact well established. Pure Whiskey matured Is a remedy by which many sick have been cured. But when Whiskey's prescribed and I'm given instead, The physician is baffled, the patient near dead.

There's but one thing can change this sad state of affairs And insure that you get what the label declared. 'Tis the "Little Green Stamp" which always is found On top of each package that's Bottled in Bond.

Then why will a man ever take such a chance When the true from the false can be told at a glance? To get good old Whiskey that to all tests will respond Just ask for the Whiskey that's bottled in bond.

K. S., in Kentucky Journal.

Liquor licenses are gilt-edged property over in the City of Brotherly Love. This statement will be better under- stood when it is announced that a few days ago the saloon license of James A. Brennan, whose place was located at the corner of Ninth and Arch streets, sold for |40,300 cash. That is nearly as good as having a graft under San Francisco's new charter.

FERRO-OLINA

Full 32 ounces (qt. bottles) $10.00 per case

CTERRO-QUINA BITTERS is the leading * Bitters of the day. It is used in all the saloons of the city and other towns of the Coast. This new Bitters may be taken pure or mixed with Whiskey. It makes a wonderful drink mixed with Vermouth. It is a great appetizer. It is a great Tonic Bitters, and makes you feel strong and happy. As soon as you get up in the morning take about a wine-glassful in a tumbler of mineral water, and it will operate pleasantly upon your liver. We claim no other Bitters in the market can equal the Fbrro- QuiNA Bitters. g}tr For sale in any first- class saloon.

Ernst W. Reinecke, one of the best known mixologists on the line, is no longer open for an engagement. He has gone into business for himself at 506 Washington street, near Sansome. He calls the place "Cafe Success," and knowing his vigor and aggressiveness, we with a host of other friends he made while connected with the Cafe Riche- lieu, in a responsible position, predict a success for him. The best wet goods, all straight, will be served, and Ernst personally, will see to the comfort of his customers.

The house of C. P. Moorman & Co. inform us that the demand for the old J. H. Cutter whisky is increasing very rapidly in all parts of the country. They say they have been agreeably surprised at the very great increase that has taken place in the demand for this brand on the Pacific Coast since the agency was secured in that territory by the house of Sherwood & Sherwood. — Bonfort's.

John Sheridan, formerly of Geggus & Sheridan, is slated to go to the famous Goldfields, Nev., where he has a very flattering offer to go into business in the swellest retail place in the Camp. He will also have an interest in some very promising mining locations. His many friends will wish him a full measure of success.

From Cerruti Mercantile Co.

Handsome Gus Melborne of the Davy Crockett is re- ported to have made a killing at the race track on opening day. He proved to be a good guesser, having, it is stated by his friends, stuck the "bookies" for |400. He naturally wears a complacent smile, like the tiger.

Bythinia water is steadily gaining in popularity in this market, as well as elsewhere. It is one of the finest aperi- ents and diuretics, operates without distressing one, and leaves no regrets. Its efficacy in relieving the bad effects of excessive drinking is unsurpassed. Bythinia is for salt at all first-class bars and drug stores.

The luncheon given to his Imperial Highness, Prince Fushimi, at the navy yard, Washington, D. C, on Novem- ber 17, 1904, was quite an important affair. Upon this oc- casion some excellent wines were served, but the only one representing the champagne district was Heidsieck & Co.'s Monopole Brut 1892. Apollinaris Mineral Water also played a prominent part.

To the Trade :

We take pleasure in notifying our customers and the trade in general of our second combination sale, com- mencing December 1st and ending December 31, 1904.

We have been appointed general distributers on the Pacific Coast for the celebrated "Cordial and Bitter Cam- pari," of Milano, Italy, and Ave take pleasure in introduc- ing these liquors as they have "come to stay," thanks to their useful quality. Each bottle is accompanied by a cir- cular giving testimonials of eminent physicians recom- mending its use.

We have just received the second shipment, and a third one will be here shortl,y, therefore we ask your careful con- sideration of this circular as it will prove, Avithout doubt, remunerative to your good selves and beneficial to your patrons.

Respectfully Yours,

CERRUTI MERCANTILE CO., By EdAV. Cerruti.

P. S. Use Cordial Campari as an after dinner liqueur, and the Bitter Campari same as the Amer Picon, with plain seltzer or with Vermouth.

Standard Bottling Co. Makes Announcement.

THE Standard Bottling Co., which has been organized to handle and bottle the beers of the Los Angeles Brewing Co., of Los Angeles, in this city, are establishing their plant on Beach street, between Dupont and Stockton. The location is one of the best in the city. The beer can be loaded oflf the car into the ice house, which is a great saving in time, expense and a benefit to the beer. An ice plant will keep the box at a temperature of 38 degrees so that the beer will be kept at an even degree of coolness. The beer to be put on this market is guaranteed by the Los Angeles Brewing Co., to be six months old and a special brew. The company offers a reward of |10,000 to anyone who can show that the beer is composed of anything but hops, malt yeast and water. The forfeit is up and stands ready at any time. The Standard Bottling Company starts with quite a flattering amount of business, but will be able to handle all orders for these celebrated Standard beers. They will fill orders in bulk or bottle, and will begin regular op- erations on or about December 20th. Their announcement will be found elsewhere in this issue.

Emmet Hayden of Kilborn & Hayden, proprietors of the Ferry Cafe, as well as the bars of the Sausalito and Tiburon ferryboats, returned on the 14th inst., after an extended Eastern trip. He devoted considerable time to the World's Fair, and then visited all the large cities of the country beyond the Rockies. On his return he spent some time at the Hot Springs in Arkansas and then came on to Los Angeles, where he spent eight days. The trip was purely for pleasure and rest. Mr. Hayden had a very pleasant time and returns looking better than he has in many moons.

Louis Fontanel of the Cosmos Cafe, Montgomery and Commercial streets, reports his business steadily growing. His receipts are far in excess of those at his old quarters, and he is confident of making a still bigger record. On Thanksgiving day he set a special lunch, appropriate to the occasion, at which nearly one hundred pounds of tur- key were disposed of. The menu was a swell one as will be seen by the following : Soup, oyster ; salad, shrimp, may- onnaise, lettuce; entrees, roast turkey, cranberrj- sauce and mashed potatoes; dessert, hot mince pie; cafe noir.

Hommel's extra dry was the only champagne served at the swell military banquet held at the St. Francis Hotel, October 30th. On this occasion the guest of honor was United States Senator Fairbanks, now Vice-President elect.

German Vintage Report, 1904.

From Deiuliard & Co., Coblenz.

THE German wine districts being situated on the north- ern confines of viticulture are naturally the last to render their account of the year's result. Happily it coin- cides with the gratifying reports from all the European centers of viticulture.

Even now on the large Estates of the Rhinegau, where the system of picking and sorting the grapes and even the single berries according to their degree of "Edelreife" has become an art, the slow progress of the vintage is still going on and being favored by very fine weather some very remarkable Beeren Auslesen are being made, which will rank with the finest selected wines of 1893. We ourselves recorded 117 and 134 (Oechsle) of saccharine in our Rude- sheim Schlossberg and our Oestrich Doosberg respectively and even higher weights are reported from the Steinberg.

It is not, however, by these highest class wines that the general character of a vintage is decided, but happily also the "vino minorum gentium" will fully deserve the grate- ful devotion of the Hock and Moselle worshippers. How- ever the course of a good vintage like that of true love never runs smooth. AVhilst all through spring and sum- mer the finest climatic conditions had prevailed for the growing and ripening of the grapes, just before the gather- ing a time of the greatest anxiety and apprehension set in. In the first week of October lieavy rainfalls caused by the sudden influx of juice, many of the already very soft and tender-skinned berries to burst and to empty their precious contents to the ground. Hundreds of valuable casks of wine were thus lost and besides there arose danger of a gen- eral rotting should the moisture continue. Happily the danger passed away and after few days fine weather set in again. All other considerations were now put aside, the general vintage began at once and the labours of picking and pressing were carried on night and day in order to fin- ally secure the so suddenly endangered crop. This object has happily been attained, but if 1904 has not quite ful- filled the very high hopes it gave rise to it is owing to the circumstances mentioned. Nevertheless, 1901 will rank amongst our best vintages both as regards quantity and quality. The fermented musts are very clean, show very good body and bouquet and that nutty flavor prevalent in young wines of good promise. We noticed this par- ticularly in a number of samples from the Moselle and Saar and we have no doubt that the produce of these dis- tricts will be of very prominent quality and likely to in- crease the general favor in which these light natural wines are deservedly held at home and abroad. Fortunately

Avith the continued progress in the demand for these wines the extension of the territory under cultivation has kept pace, as will be seen from the following figures :

Vineyards under cultivation on the Moselle, Saar and Ruwer (not including those upwards of Trier) :

In 1893. In 1903. Increase.

13,911 acres. 16,730 acres. 2,819 acres

An acre yielding quite 2000 litres or 440 gallons in good years — this means an increase in the production of 1,240,360 gallons, or nearly double of the whole importa- tion of Moselle and Rhine wines into U. S. America (1903: 648,188 gallons). The most prominent of these new vine- yards are those of the Prussian Government at Ockfen and Serrig on Saar and at Avelsbach near Trier, which will ultimately cover about 280 acres. Many of the new planta- tions are already yielding good crops, whilst other will yearly follow in the order they were laid down. There is therefore no fear of the demand outgrowing the supply or the prices tightening so as to become detrimental to the trade.

In all the musts from the Moselle and Saar the propor- tionate amount of saccharine and acid is very favorable, which facts promise not only a good quality but also a good development and keeping property. In our Estate at Berncastel the saccharine varies from 82°-108° (Oechsle) and the acid from 9-ll°/00, which is also in accordance with the observations at other first-class vineyards.

The Palatinate like the Rhinegau has produced some very fine selected wine but not of the high degree as those of the century-vintage 1900. The bulk of the produce of the Palatinate as well as of Rhinehessen and the Nahe dis- trict promises to be most like tliat of 1897, justly so much appreciated in the English market.

As yet there has been little business done with the ex- ception of the Saar and Ruwer where the whole crop of the peasant-groA\ers found ready buyers at good prices. In the other district buyers await the time when the new wine can be prox)erly tasted and judged. Prices are not ex- pected to rule very high, as large quantities of 1903 and 1901 remain unsold with the growers.

This really good vintage comes at the time to supply followers to the dwindling stocks of 1900, 1897 and 1895. It is to be expected that it will give a new impetus to trade and further extend the already large circle in all parts of the globe, of those, who admire and habitually use Rhine and Mosel wines on account of their cheerful influence, Avholesomeness and the delight they afford to a refined palate.

HOTALING'S famous whisky, the OLD KIRK, is com- ing out shortly in an entirely new and artistic suit of lithographs. Mr. McKinnon, who handles the adver- tising for the Company, has just returned from an extended tour of the Atlantic States. Besides taking a short vacation, he has been very busy with Eastern adver- tisers, and the liquor dealers on the Pacific Coast will soon see some very pretty and attractive lithos. calculated to draw attention to the fact that purity in whisky makes the demand and holds the trade.

Mr. McKinnon is very original in his advertising, and as he is quite an artist, Ave expect Avhen the bill posters start to work on OLD KIRK, to see something that will not only please the eye, but inspire in the general public a thirst for good pure wholesome whisky — OLD KIRK.

Mr. Julius Kessler has visited the city a number of times recently, and on every occasion he succeeds in placing a number of large orders with our leading distributers. Mr. Kessler is an extraordinary salesman; he does not recr-g- nize the word failure, and he has during the last fcAV years succeeded in interesting many of the largest houses in this city in the goods distributed by the concern of which he is the president. Julius Kessler & Co. have a very excellent idea in a business way, and that is to give a man more than he expects and more than appears in the contract. The house is known here as the most liberal and the broadest with which our merchants have ever had transactions. — Bonfort's.

iNcws of the Northwest* s

SEATTLE, Nov. 20 : — The past month among the liquor and wine dealers has shown an improvement over the previous month. So far as regards the city trade a big gain is noted. The resumption of activity among the lum- bering industries is beginning to be felt, both in the city and immediate vicinity. Of course the trade requires time to respond, as the forces employed by the mills have not been receiving wages long enough to restore the usual tone of easy spending among them. It will take two or three pay-days to bring this about. But an improvement is being already felt. This lumbering is a factor in Seattle more important than almost any other. When these mills are idle every merchant, whether he be retailer or wholesaler, and irrespective of his line, is bound to know it by a shrinkage in his trade. To some extent this source of shrinkage is counterbalanced by the condition of the country immediately east of the city, and in especial east of the Cascades. Tlie enormous crops there and the general high prices received for all products have induced a feeling of plenty, which in many cases keeps shippers busy to fill orders. This prosperity among the farmers has been an additional grief to lumbering men, as the grain has taken up more cars than the railroads could really spare; and as most of the grain is for trans-continental hauls, and lumber seldom goes east of the Missouri Eiver, partiality has been shown to the farmers, to the detriment of the mill men.

This shortage of cars also makes for slowness in collec- tions. Many mill men have immense stocks of cut mater- ial which they are unable to get to market, and on which consequently they are unable to realize. This lack of money extends from the mill men to the employes, and through them to the liquor dealers. The situation, there- fore, is peculiar in that credits are perfectly secure, but collections almost impossible to make. It is only a ques- tion of time, however, before this condition will be relieved, and meanwhile there is nothing at all alarming in it. Thousands of bundles of shingles and great amounts of lumber piled around saw-mills are an asset which no one need be afraid of, and they form the back-ground of the situation.

The wholesale house of J. J. Haggerty & Co. report that in the western part of the State trade is picking up in a most encouraging manner. Actual shipments so far have been light, but the prospects for early improvement are bright. As might be expected, the Alaska trade has shown a considerable dropping off. Of course it is now at an end, the last boat of the season having made its trip over two weeks ago, except in the southern ports.

Politics has cut but little figure in trade along any lines, but most dealers breathe easier now that it is over, and the possibility of any disturbing factors removed.

The Lithgow-Hill Co. have enjoyed a good trade in the last month, being a considerable improvement over the same period in September. In discussing the no-license elections in Oregon, Mr. Hill said that the new bill is an exceedingly unfair one toward the liquor dealers. He re

ferred particularly to the provision that any precinct in any of the counties which went for license could be voted no-license at any time, but that no precinct which had voted no-license could go license by any arrangement whatever sooner than the next general election, tAvo years hence. Even the friends of the bill admit that this feature of it is not altogether just.

The Migliavacca Company report business as having been very good since the twenty-fifth of last month. Just why it should have picked up at this date Mr. Migliavacca could not say ; but since that time his business has been in- creasing at a very rapid rate. The company is doing some very creditable advertising on the bill-boards of the city, in anticipation of the holiday demand.

Levinson's family liquor store is looking for a big holi- day trade this year. Their trade consists largely of family service, and extends throughout the State. The company is therefore in a very good position to judge of the pros- perity of the country. Mr. Levinson says that he never knew the country to be in so good a buying temper as it is this year. Of course, the eastern part of the State is in a better condition than the western, but the condition among those persons in the community who do not have to depend on the lumbering interests is most satisfactoiy. Even the elections did not disturb this family trade in any way. Levinson's is fortunate to have so constant a list of customers.

The Keystone Liquor Co., whose business is somewhat along the same lines, have had very much the same ex- perience, They look for a most prosperous holiday season.

The Continental Distilling Co. have just made heavy shipments for the holiday trade in Alaska. They report that the increase in trade up there during the past season has been something phenomenal. Without a doubt the field in that direction is practically without limit; and it is equally certain that Seattle is bound to get the lion's share of this business. Their Old Valley brand, in square bottles, has been principally in demand. The company has recently made a good-sized shipment to a point near Unalaska. Of course, shipments further north of this point will not be made any more this season.

Jaffe & Co. have a good deal to say about California wines in this market. They declare that the demand for such wines is increasing perceptibly every month. And one encouraging feature about this demand is that the trend is decidedly toward the higher grades. Port and sherry still hold the place of chief favorites. As regards California wines in Alaska, the situation is full of promise, though as yet the demand has all been for whiskies and liquors. Without a doubt the field in Alaska will gradu- ally extend to include those wines more and more, and then the California wine-grower can look upon this as a most profitable field. The country trade in the agricul- tural regions of this State continues good ; but as yet there seems to be no promise of any demand for better quality. This is bound to be the case for some time to come.

SOUND NOTES. '

At Everett, Wm. Ullrich has been closed out by the brewery, and the place is now being run by Augustas Hansen of the Mint.

McDonald & Mclsaac have succeeded Ross & O'Brien at I he Two-Step saloon, and report business very good.

Frank Borgeson, of Bellinoliani, one of tlie pioneer saloon men on the Coast, who cleared up a comfortable toi'tune in the business about two years ago and retired, is doing a very nice business at the office Buffet, which lie has recently opened, making a specialty of high-grade w ines and liquors.

Morris Rodgers has succeeded Peck & Holmes at Ed- monds. Mr. Rodgers will be remembered as having been ill business some time ago, and is recognized as an able and successful dealer.

Mr. F. J. Peck, formerly of Peck & Holmes, has pur- chased E. Olson's old stand at Aberdeen.

Webster & Showen have opened the Badger saloon in Aberdeen. This place was recently attached by Flicken- stein, Mayer & Co., of Portland, who closed out W. J. Crosbie, the Aberdeen Brewing Co., having the place mortgaged, denied Flickensfein, Mayer & Co. the right to attach, and were sustained in court, a judgment having been rendered against the liquor house for rent and ex- penses during the period that the house was closed. Mr. Webster and Mr. Showen are both old saloon men, and it is predicted that their present venture will be verv success- ful.

Rutschow Bros, who recently came to Aberdeen from Seattle, report business to be very good.

The Claussen BrcAving Association say that their trade during the past mouth has been very light indeed, but the prospects are good for the next month. During November it is an unusual thing for trade among the breweries to show much activity, so that Mr. Claussen does not regard the slight falling off as at all significant.

The Seattle Brewing and Malting Co. have met with a very unfortunate experience. Their cashier, ]\Ir. Harry Walton, was found to be in default of |10,000, for which he was unable to account. The case is not as yet thorough- ly understood outside of the company's office, but it is generally considered that Walton is not wholly to blame for his shortage. It is pretty plain that there are other employees implicatetl, upon whom the blame may light more heavily. At last reports it was announced that prac- tically all the missing funds will be returned, and it is probable that the company will carry the prosecution no further. C. V. W.

Carl H. Clark, who has been salesman for Sherwood & Sherwood in the city and bay region for the past four years, has severed his connection with that firm and accepted a similar billet with the Olympia Brewing Co., of Olympia, Washington. The company has entered this field to fight for a share of the business, and Mr. Clark states that the Olympia brew has all the qualities that go to make a great beer.

It is certainly a great privilege and an education to visit the magnificent distilling plant of Hiram Walker & Sous, Ltd., which is located at Walkerville, Canada, just across the river from Detroit. The office building of this com- pany, exterior and interior, is said to be the most beautiful, the most elegant and the most convenient occupied by any private company in the world. There is no question that tLe office is superb or that the distillery plant is wonderfully complete or that the Canadian Club is the best whisky that money, skill and extraordinary facilities can produce, but that which pleased the writer the most was the charm- ing courtesies extended to him during his visit, and these courtesies, he understands, are extended to all visitors who mqy wish to visit the home of Canada's famous whisky. — Bonfort's.

The F. Cavagnaro Co. have removed to their remodeled quarters on Clay street. When finished the place will be one of the finest and best equipped wholesale wine and li- quor stores in the city. The offices are especially handsome, spacious and light. However, the roomy proposition is a necessity, as Col. Gates, the head of the house, occupies a large amount of space himself. Mr. Gates reports business good and improving right along. W. B. Brace and Colum- bian whiskies, as well as the wines of the company, are in general demand.

Charles Meinecke & Co. modestly acknowledge that they did a pretty good business in November and that there is \ room for considerable improvement before business gets up to the normal, healthy condition. Old Hayden whisky had its usual steady demand, a statement that can be truth- fully made at most any time, while their other leaders, such as Duff Gordon Sherry, Swan Gin, Boord's Old Tom Gin and White Horse Cellar Scotch Whisky, were all in fairly good demand. Messrs. Meinecke & Co. are about to begin distributing their usual splendid calendar. Like that of last year, the new one is really a beautiful work of art.

■*I am just checking up the sales for NoTember," said President Moroney of the Jesse Moore Hunt Co., in speaking of the state of trade, "and I find that the volume of business in that month, was the largest in the history of the house for any similar month. If it goes on much longer this way it will clean us out of floor stocks and we can all take a vcation. Collections are all right and everything is satisfactory."' Mr. Moroney returned from a trip to Los Angeles the latter part of the month. He states that this house enjoys a large trade in the Angel city and that everything is bumming there.

It is hardly necessary to call attention to the advertise- ments of Messrs. Clarke Bros. & Co. which appear in this issue; they do that for themselves. The six half-page ad- vertisements represent the leading products of this big Peoria institution. Clarke Bros. & Co. are an anti-trust house, and whether it is in a fight with the whisky trust, or a matter of advertising, they never do things by hahes. They are distillers of the celebrated Clarke's Pure Rye and other popular brand.s. Their Pacific. Coast branch is lo- cated at 519 Sacramento street, and is under the able man- agement of Mr. A L. Dowler.

New York Correspondence,

NEW YORK, November 19th: Confirmation of the earlier rumors as to the far-reaching effects of the f^eptember storms in California, and the consequent limited yield for ^ this season, has had what might be termed a tonic effect on the local California wine situa- tion, although the debilitude which has prevailed for some months cannot be dispelled in a night, so to speak. The rank poison of pessimism has eaten in too deeply for quick re-action, although it is gratifying to note that the evi- dences of restoration to a more confident tone have not been wanting. These were not lacking at our last writing and the past fortnight has witnessed a further strengthen- ing of the situation.

Locally the wine and spirit business for the past month has been unusually quiet. Orders from out of town sales- men have been all to the good ; shipments have been fairly up to the standard for this season; but New York City has been very chari-y in its patronage of the local jobbers. Complaints have been likewise heard from the retailei-s, and it has been suggested that the recent expose in the newspapers regarding the wood-alcohol poisoning cases on the West side, had caused a temporary retreat of the drinking forces to the oft-quoted "water-wagon."

The Eastern Rye market continues firm; prices strong, with advancing tendencies; withdrawals, in most in- stances reported, well up and beyond last year's record for the same months.

Prices have been firm, and buying while not in any sense extraordinary, has been most encouraging. The probability of the re-establishment of prices on sweet wines to the basis prevailing prior to the recent cut of 2V2 cents has not been discounted to any appreciable extent

There have been plenty of large orders placed on bran- dies, and still — to all intent — large quantities being offered at competitive prices.

Is it not about time that Dr. W^iley got after the manu- facturers of corks? It is true that they do not form an article of food; but as they are used in bottles, if impure they may affect the contents.

In a recent issue of the Western Bretcer, attention is called to the infection of cork by various organisms which create certain changes, and which, unless checked, are. calculated to introduce into wines or beers, bottled with these infected corks, substances of a deleterious nature. It is said that to treat the cork with the usual cleansing or bleaching process is not sufficient to destroy these or- ganisms; and that the only way to thoroughly sterilize is

56i

PAGIFIC: WIN^ AND .SPIRIT REVIEiW.

to heat the cork to 120 c. for ten minutes, then exhaust the iuterstitite air, and finally to expose it for another ten minutes to the action of steam at 130 c.

The learned gentleman who contends that only that is pure Which is in its virgin state will doubtless object to the addition to corks of so monstrous an adulteration as steaih at 130 c. Must corks so treated be labelled? They certainly are not blended. Must they be styled com- pounded?

As a matter of fact, in its natural state cork has been found to develop mold fungi. Mycelia, which penetrates the medullary tissues or intercellular spaces, cannot be destroyed except by a course of treatment which experi- ment has fotmd necessary. After treatment, cork is found to be improved and as cork enters largely into the "Pure Food" question, may not the learned Dr. Wiley take alarm at, as he would call it, "the adulteration of any port of the product?"

In his diatribes" on the subject of whisky, which for some time has appeared to be a subject which acts upon Dr. Wiley as a red rag upon a raging bull, he maintains that only that whisky is pure to which nothing has been added. Perhaps in its strict interpretation there is some force to his position; but in the many newspaper inter- views which the Doctor so readily furnishes, he implies that ONLY such whisky is pure; and he further by impli- cation says, that all other whiskies, by which he means blends, are impure. Will any sane man contend that the blending of various articles, such as whisky, spirits, prune juice, sherry and sugar, provided all in themselves are pure, form an impure adulterated article? Will any sane man contend that cork which has been subjected to a cleansing process of chlorine gas or sulphur dioxide or

hypo-chlorites or steani, any one of which ti-eatment may be given to cork for the purpose of killing the detrimental organisms, is because of this rendi^ed impure? And yet after Dr. Wiley's ridiculous claim, such a decision must be arrived at. .

Doctctrs disagree and there are many members of the medical profession who regard Dr. Wiley's interviews a& top sweeping ih thei^ assertions and too radical in their decisions.

The Lancet, the leading organ of the medical profession of England, recently, in an article published in the paper on "Wines," called attention to the peculiar sweet flavor which sometimes developed with age. This i« not an added ingredient an(J is merely a natural development ; j and is frequently mistaken *; for glycerine, to which those* not familji^f with the subject attribute it.

Producers of wine an Jthe Old Counti-yj whose experience is based upon many years' knowledge of the subject, recog- nizing that in the COjurse of iime their wanes may become too sweet, guard against this in the manufacture of their product by adding wiat, in their opinion, is a necessary corrective. Whiskies in their natural state are not con- sidered by the majority of the consuming public to be so palatable; a^ . tjiose whiskies to; which has been added a sweetteriing or flavoring; and each part of the country has its own special taste. Straight whisky, by which is meant whiskies bottled in bond, Avhich Dr. Wiley is so ably ch'ampioning, has long been on the inarket. Its sale has been limited because it has not met with the approval of the taste of the public, who have preferred a heavier, SAveeter, Iblended whisky, which if properly blended, as it undoubtedly is in the majority of cases, and blended with

nothing but wliat is pure, is as pure a whisky in the com- mon sense meaning of the term as straight whisky.

On the 11th inst., there was held at the ofiQce of Ron fort's Wine and SpiHt Circular, in this city, a called meeting of prominent members of the National Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association, notably those interested in blended whiskies, to consider ways and means in anticipa- tion of the passage of the Pure Food Bills in the next (Congress. Nothing definite was concluded, and the meet- ing was adjourned to some future date, by which time, it is hoped, some definite plan of action will be formu- lated.

Mr. Chas. Schlesinger, of the firm of E. Martin & Co.. of San Francisco, arrived in this city a few days since, after a most momentous trip by way of Panama. After ii most delightful voyage of some days, the steamer lost lier rudder, drifted about for two days in the Atlantic (_)cean, and was finally towed into the port of Savannah. The experience was one which Mr. Schlesinger is not anxious to repeat.

It is said that there is sjtill gnashing of teeth and loud weeping and wailing in the valley of Champagnedom, over the action of Rear Admiral Frederick Rogers, Command- ant of the New York navy yard, in refusing all offers of a bottle of wine to be used at the christening of the battle- ship Connecticut. Wine was used, but the label was washed off, and there is hardly any probability of a recur- rence of the trouble which attended the christening of another ship, when tAvo rival concerns claimed each for

themselvies the honor of having had their wine used, by spe- cial request of the Kaiser. The name of the brand used in this instance is known to but two or three of the ofllcers, who are not likely to tell it. In these days of American products to the fore, it is more than probable that an American champagne was used to christen an American battleship.

A petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Rudolph Luhrs, doing business as Adolph Luhrs & Sons, whole- sale and retail dealers in wines and liquors at No. 514 Sixth Ave., this city, by a number of creditors. The lia- bilities are about |27,000.

With the death of Mr. Edward A. Du Vivier, President of the firm of Du Vivier & Co., this well-known house seems fated to pass into ancient history. Mr. Du Vivier died suddenly on October 15th, and although at the time it was stated that the business would be continued as in the past, within the past fortnight a petition in bank- ruptcy has been filed against them. It is claimed that the liabilities are |166,687, with nominal resources of |72,850.

The business was established in 1856, and for many years was one of the foremost representative houses in the wine business here.

William Wolff & Co. to the Trade

San Francisco, November 26, 1904. Pacific Wine and Spirit Rkview^ City :

Ocntlcmen : Permit us to make use of your valuable medium for the purpose of stating our position in the action recently brought against us in the Circuit Court by Messrs. W. A. Taylor & Co. of New York, arising out of the im- portation and sale by us of the genuine Martini & Rossi Italian vermouth.

Although much of Messrs. W. A. Taylor & Co.'s bill of complaint is taken up with lamentations that we have been able to purchase the genuine Martini & Rossi's Italian vermouth without paying tribute to them, they admit that such purchases do not give them any cause of action against us, and allege that our firm's neck labels attached to the genuine Martini & Rossi vermouth resemble the neck labels of Messrs. AV. A. Taylor & Co. No intima- tion was given us by any one that Messrs. W. A. Taylor & Co. believed that any similarity existed between their neck labels and ours and our first information of such an alleged similarity was the suit filed by Messrs. W. A. Taylor & Co.

We have been able to trace every case we have sold and will show, if the time ever comes when it will be neces- sary to do so, that not a single purchaser believed that he was getting vermouth importetl by Messrs. W. A. Taylor & Co., or by anybody other than ourselves.

Over two months have elapsed since the commencement of this action, but the application for a writ of preliminary injunction has not been heard, and when heard, we are advised by our attorney that there will be no likelihood of its being granted, but that it Avill be denied by the Cir- cuit Court.

We claim that no such similarity exists between our labels, which were designed and affixed during the absence of Mr. Wolff from this city and Avithout his knowledge, and the neck labels of Messrs. W. A. Taylor & Co., as could cause anyone to confound one with the other, and while.

in order to comply strictly with the law and with the most rigid interpretation of trade ethics, we have, since the commencement of this suit, studiously refrained from sell- ing a single bottle of Martini & Rossi's genuine Italian ver- mouth bearing the neck labels in question. We could le- gally have sold large quantities by reason of the delay on the part of Messrs. Taylor & Co. in obtaining a preliminary injunction. Such sales we have absolutely refused to make, and despite the fact that we are advised that the applica- tion for the preliminary injunction will be denied, we propose to maintain in the future, as in the past, our policy of respecting the rights of others, and do not intend to sell any bottle of Martini & Rossi's genuine Italian vermouth bearing the labels in question until the final determina- tion of the matter of the Circuit Court, on which we con- fidently rely to establish the correctness of our position.

Thanking you in advance for the admission of this com- munication in your columns, we are.

Yours respectfully,

WILLIAM WOLFF & CO., Per H. G. Plagemann^ Secretary.
