The State Department has received from
John C. Coert, United States Consul at

garding the Trench wine crop He writes
as follows.
"The reports thus far received from the
wine-producing districts of Trance M
geria, and Tunis promibc a jield or about
1,208.016,000 gallons in 1SW The organs
of the wine growers differ slightl in this
estimate Earlj frosts reduced the produc

where it was 3,962,000 gallons in 1S9S and
3,:0O,000 gallons m lbS9

Ljons is situated, produced 21.133.600 gal.
