Whisky-and-Soda
Scarce in Sweden

Correspondence Of The Associated Press
Stockholm, Oct. 8.-Great Brit
aims export prohibition on whisky
has moved Swedish dealers to take
account of their stocks, with the re-
suit that they have found that six
months more will about see the end OF
the available supply.
In no first-class restaurant in Stock
holm can whisky-and-soda be had for
less than one crown, or about 2SK
cents at the present exchange rate.
Some places charge as much as l.30
crowns, or IS cents.
High grade liquors--particularly
certain brands manufactured BY
monks--are scarce and dear. The
same is true OF French cognac and
French wines, which have increased
wholesale from rs to 40 per cent. This
/ Is due In large part to scarcity Of
bottles, not only in the countries III
origin, but also in the diminished ca
pacity Of Swedish glassmakers, since
great part Of the liquors and wines
imported is brought in in Swedish
bottles.
No shortage OF Swedish punch, the
so-called national drink, threatens. II
may become necessary, however, to
drink in November and December
some punch not properly aged, on ac-
count Of the difficulty the manufac-
turers experience in getting sufficient
sugar.

Sweden's Poor Feel
Pinch Of War Prices

| Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Stockholm, Oct. l6.-Fortunes have
been made in Sweden, as in the other
neutral countries of Europe, as a re-
suit OF the war, but the pinch of war
prices is beginning to make itself
keenly felt among the middle and
lower classes. This has been evil
denced this week by the filing of petit
tions for increases of pay by repre-
sentatives of the railway postal, tele-
graph and telephone employees of the
kingdom, by the city teachers OF
Stockholm and of other Swedish
cities and by the Stockholm school
teachers and other bodies. A special
food commission in Gothenburg has
decided to recommend to the city
council the granting of an appropria-
ton of 100000 crowns to relieve the
distress Of the lowest paid classes in
the city, and other cities have also
been considering the question.
DR.. Guinchard, head OF the statisti-
cal bureau of Stockholm, reckons that
the two years OF war have brought an
increase OF at least so per cent in the
cost of living in Stockholm, in accel-
Grafton of a movement which really
set in twelve years ago. DR.. Guin-
chard said to the correspondent:
1.-THE budget for an ordinary mid
dle-class household has exhibited a
steady increase for all the necessaries
F! of life since the year 1904. This in
crease had amounted to 81 per cent
at the end OF last June. In other
words, what this family could buy for
go crowns in 1904 cost 1,ll9 crowns
three months ago, and since then
there has been further increase"
House rents in Stockholm increased
1853 per cent from 1905 to 1910, 3.3
per cent from 1911 to 1914, and Is
per cent in the last two years. Fuel
prices, according to figures cited by
the Stockholm teachers in their petit
ton, have more than doubled in the
last ten years, great part of the in
crease having come into the war
years.
With so much new wealth in the
country, DR.. Guinchard and other So
biologists believe the way is clearly
indicated to help the less fortunate.
According to Municipal Councillor
Dahlberg Of Malmo, this years as
sessment lists very generally show big
increases of taxable property, run
ming from 40 per cent up to as much
as 100 per cent. Gothenburg, Helsin-
burg and Malmo all show large in
creases. The figures for Stockholm
are not yet known, but it is believed
that they will show an increase OF
at least IS to 80 per cent. This, DR.,
Guinchard points out, would mean an
increase in receipts from municipal
taxes of some 100000 crowns with
out raising the tax rate, and would,
even making allowances for the in
creased cost Of running the city, fur
nish an adequate fund to relieve all
distress.
