BIG SPANISH GRAPE CROP
PRICES RUINOUS TO THE GROWERS By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Oct. 16. The Madrid correspondent of The Times states that the grape crop is most plentiful in La Mancha, resulting in the price being a farthing per pound, which is ruinous to growers. It is believed that this is due to the cornering of the crop, as it is poor elsewhere. The Government has ordered wine pressers to purchase grapes to the full capacity of their machinery, paying a halfpenny per pound, and is lending funds at 5 per eent. Interest if necessary.
