The nonlinear conductance of a one-dimensional quantum wire adiabatically coupled to Fermi liquid electron reservoirs is determined in the presence of an impurity. We show that electron-electron interaction in connection with the finite length of the wire leads to characteristic oscillations in the current as a function of the applied voltage.
