WINES. 



LONIX'N, Friday', August 31.— In wines there has been a 

 moderate business transacted, principally in ports of really good 

 qualities, and we think such descriptions must attract mo e 

 attention during the autumn. The latest acccounts from Oporto 

 are of a more favourable character, and give hopes, should the 

 weather continue fine, that some fair wine may he made. Other 

 descriptions without alteration.
