ALMOST NEGLIGIBLE

Merchants Demand Payment in For-

(By Associated Press)
Vienna, Nov. 19.-With the collapse
in the exchange value of the kronen,
Austria is undergoing another eco-
nomic and financial spasm. Since July
16 the crown has dropped from 650 to
the American dollar to about 3,000.
The 100 crown note, whose pre-war
value was $20, is now about the mini-
mum unit of, daily use, and 10,000
crown notes cannot be printed fast
enough to meet the needs of business.
Currency Collapses
For the last month the government
presses have been printing some 5,-
000,000,000 kronen a week to meet
current expenses. The issue w111have
to be increased to meet the demands
.of the great army of civil servants for
a living wage. Within a month they
have received increases amounting to
about 5,000,000,000 kronen and already,
with steadily falling exchange and the
equally steady advance in living costs,
they are formulating new demands.
When the collapse of the currency
set in so feverishly a few weeks ago,
a swarm of alien buyers swept over
the country. They bought everything
they saw that had a value. Stores
were stripped of stocks until the ma-
pority of merchants began to retire
their goods'or refuse to sell more than
one article to a customer.
These foreign buyers were aided by
natives in the general desire to get
rid of Austrian money. The feeling
was that anything was better than the
crown.
Food Prices Increase
The most serious feature of the situ-
ation however is the alarming increase
in food prices. The increase in wages
has not been equal to this rise and the
result is much unrest among the poor-
er classes. Women have been storm-
itg the public markets, overturning
stalls and in some cases beating mar-
ketmen. They have had public sym-
pathy and the police have been very
mild in their attempts to control these
demonstrations.
In the height of the panic any ar-
ticles food disappeared magically from
the shops to reappear at greatly en-

hanced prices. Tinned milk for in-
stance jumped from 180 crowns to
256 and this article is a fair index of'
increased prices.
Tailors are demanding pay in pound
sterling and refusing crowns. Jewel-
ers ask for Swiss francs, despite the
law forbidding business in foreign
moneys.
The collapse of the currency was
foreseen by financial experts but none
could suggest a means of averting it
as long as the government is forced
to buy foreign money at any prices in
order to buy breadstuffs and coal.
