DROP IN' EXCHANGE SPASM IN AUSTRIA CONDITIONS .SERIOUS AS VALUE OF THE KRONEN BECOMES ALMOST NEGLIGIBLE ALIEN BUYERS SWARM SPECULATION MARKETS Merchants Demand Payment in For- eign Money Despite Law For- bidding Such Practices (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- TODAY AND MONDAY ONLY r-F in Hawley Value 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.
