The London correspondent of the Sydney Sun sayß: —The drink traffic is dying a natural death. The Btocks of whisky are gradually being exhausted. Life must be a misery for the tippler, because whisky has been so diluted that unless it is drunk raw it is not better than lemonade. No hotelkeeper will sell a bottle of whisky. The price has been fixed at 9s fld a bottle. Mr Landlord squeezes twenty nobblers out of this thin imitatiou, which he sells at a shilling a nobbier. Hence his reluctance to part with a bottle. Beer and stout are names which have Tittle meaning, for both are mostly water, and would not even stimulate a teetotaller. Yet the Londoner must have his beer, and the bars quickly run dry, and daily one can see the pathetic legend posted outaide the more popular hotels, "No beer today." Of wines there is still a fairly large stock, perhaps because prices do not permit of the multitude enjoying them. Champagnes, 1906 vintage, are retailed at 255, sparkling Burgundies at 6s fid, Ciablia 3s 6d, from which it will be seen that prices-are very moderate. And here let the Australian vigneron realise that the war will bring him a rich liarvest.if he will only look a little ahead. France v.ill not have full cellars for a decade or more. Meanwhile there will be a strong market for Australian wines, provided they suit the English and Hkvopean palate.
