GOOD USE FOR THE WINE-GRAPE.

DRIED wine-grapes are proving good property. There is an offer of $70 a ton for all produced in this valley this year on board the cars at Livermore. Loose Muscatels are worth $100 a ton in San Francisco. The wine-grapes are to be stemmed and cleaned and put into cotton sacks; the Muscatels are also stemmed and cleaned and packed in twenty-pound boxes each. The cost of sacks and boxes each is about eight cents. The cost of cleaning and stemming is a mere trifle.
