FRENCH WINES
INCREASING IN
PRICE
BEZIERS, France, Oct. 8—French
men are In no danger of going thirsty
this year, but they will pay dearly
for their favorite beverage unless the
government can prevent speculation
in wine.
The yield of grapes will be 40 to
50 per cent, greater than that of last
year; last year's crop was nearly 50
per cent, greater than that of 1915.
However, wine costs twice as much
as it did a year ago and three times
as much as it did in 1914. Ordinary
table wines then sold at the equival
ent of 8 cents a quart for red and 10
cents for white, at retail. They now
bring 25 cents, respectively.
Requisitions for the army, lack of
distributing facilities, scarcity of wine
casks, bottles, and wine ears, insuf
ficiency of help, high cost of fertil
izers and chemicals, and the natural
economic effect of war are given here
in the wine country as the reasons for
the rise. Another reason is the pur
chase of “wine on the vine” and suc
cesive transfers on the crop from one
speculator to another, even before
the grapes have ripened, the same sys
tem as adopted by speculators in the
coal importation licenses last winter.
This abnormal dealing haH made
ordinary wines dearer than the fine
wines. Burgandies, clarets, and good
wines, generally are abundant and
have not increased excessively in price
as they are not so much subject to
speculation and they escape requisi
tions, but they suffer quite as much
as ordinary grapes, even more in
some cases, from the insufficient sup
ply of bottles and casks.
The minister of provisions pro
poses to either requisition the en
tire crop, annulling all speculative
contracts, and supervise the distribu
tion to the retail trade, or fix the max
imum selling price at which common
wines may be sold to the consumer.
The opinion of the wine country
was thus expressed by a grower of
the Gard: “They propose to limit
the avails of the winegrowers’ work,
but no one has ever talked about
keeping down the profits of the mer
chants who sell us sulphate of cop
per and sulphur,” said he. “The
great danger in these projects in lim
iting selling prices or requisitioning
at arbitrary figures is that wine grow
ers will abandon their vineyards; con
sequence, a scarcity of wine and still
higher prices.”
The winegrowers’ association pro
poses as a compromise that conces
sions be made to the state on the
quantities of wine requisitioned for
the army and that, in return, the
state leave the wine market to ad
just itself.

FIRE!
A resident of Cordova had a
small fire in his house the other
day. It was extinguished by the
family at a loss of $150.00. The
next day he insured through us.
The cost of his insurance for
three years was less than his
loss at this trifling fire. Are
you. Mr. Property Owner, going
to wait until you have had a fire
before protecting yourself from
loss?
Any person wishing to build
can secure a fine residential or
business lot in Cordova from us
on exceptionally liberal terms.
