I bass yet to learn that an American Comual scoredited to the British Government an exorcise jurisdiction in, or is justified in inter Seving, with any American citizen, on British" territory. I should have thought the saving if a wait would be done when nuestry by kot fear of the Hongkong ftovernment acting upon the dedaito ustractions of the British authorities.

Heidsieck, after giving a great deal of luterust Concerning Esabel Carnegie 180 The Powers, Dirties, and Liabilities 25 portion to the amennt of the capital hold by
A recent number of Finance outaina an interview with Mr. Charles Heidsie. Mr. ing information concerning champagne and the district in which it is grown, was asked
**And is the production of the vineyards of Wis district samleient to meet all require Henta
Yes. Trade rívairius kavo ieu to malicious
reports to the contrary, especially with re ferance to the ravages of the phyllorna. Bot few figures will soon abuse the mind of any impartial person of the notion that this pest hex clone so far any chamego worth apocking of in the champagne vineyards. Theso cover an area of 16,000 hectares, and the total ortont of ground put out of cultivation vinco the myrirsi of the phylloxera is 20 hentares at most Just imagine trying to make out that mot n langh. able proportion as this can affect the quality of wine produced. But this is not all within the last few years new vineyarda covering nour- ly 1,000 hectares have been brought unde el. fratiorand the number is yearly increasing. So much for the phylloxers in the past. As rogurts the future, the post is so carefully watched that it is scarcely within the bounds of probability that its ravages will ever increase
an extent making them worth sezione com ideration."
And what is the amount of wine turned ont in the district animally?" I asked with con- siderablo curiosity.
"Acgording to oficial statements the average amiual hul put on wine from the whole Chain. pagne districtís 100,000 hectolitren yearly, say abont filty willinn bottles. Now the officini ligures of the exciso show that too quality consumed, combiging French and fowiga son- muption, hus not excooded twenty-eight willion battios. These figures surely speak eloquently
10 th absurdity of the insinuations which we hugo Joon cozailering. The balance of the wines but dispeal of in this fabisa ura con. sumed at bomb in the Marno and neighbouring departments as ordinary table wine in the year following that in which the grapes are gathere. You will therefore thut the prodhotion of the Champagne district is quite sufficient to meet the demul, nul, not only that, but it per mits merchant to build up important reservas *** orory pear, Cozequently, even if there were bad. vintages two or three years in execossion, thein. serva stocks would shablo the anual demand
to be kept up without a break".
Can you give me any idea of the amounts thus held in stock in Iteins and elsewhere?”
Cartainly. Taking the figures officially published by the excise as representing the qualities on the first of April of each your, we And that for 1894-5 there wore altogether nearly 162 million bottles: for 1895-6 noarty 159 mil. Ho bottles; for 1895-7 'semowhat over 186 mil. lion boittes and for 1807-7 gather more than million baths. If you recollert that the total consumption was just-mentioned by ce at twouty eight million bottles per annum, fon will see that the quantity in stock now amounte fea rozerva maivolent to five yeste squeump Hon. Naturally this comprises all the differ ant qualities of champagne; and I mhet Ray that, if there is efficient qanutily for five years
nsumption, this refers only to charpagne ožj moderate price and quaäty. As I have just said, the ran planted in vines has been in- ansing yearly for many years, following is a ustural consequours the increase of con- sumption but there is something which it has not been possible to increase-at least, only to a very moderate extent; it is the ares of cul ivation of grines Bath Falls Vie or two other districts, where nearly all thor: good fit for bis cultivation of rimes has randy been planted for many years. The consequence of this is that the quantity of es: tus quality wines produced le forcibly limited, | and in Jarely safeinat to meet the increasing bound."
