ous for certain forms of finished ar ticles, began to resume operations on a limited scale. foreign buyers seeing a good business chance in the low crown value against standard monies. .-
 Manufacturers were able to get ad- vances of credit to secure coal and need ed raw materials. It was a good specu- lation for foreign values. Then the minister of finance. Dr. Reisch, dropped a hint one day during a debate in the assembly that it would be wise if Aus trian retail sellers, were to raise their crown prices to the equivalent of for eign values. They did it. A suit of clothes that cost from 5000 to 4.000 crowns rose in price to from 15,000 to 1S,000 crowns. Every ything else went up in proportion.
 Then the government, acting on the same principle, is reported to have gone on the Zurich exchange, which controls crown quotations, with large amounts of foreign money and forced the crown up. Their efforts were assisted unexpectedly by an influx intoN Austria of foreign money spectators Appreciation of the monies of the other countries of Central and Eatsern Europe made this their last field for speculation. Pounds, dollars and francs became plentiful with small de- mand and the crown rose in value until the official price was 130 to the dollar and 15O in private deals Retail prices continued to go up. so that with the rise in the crown, cutting foreign values one half, the plan literally 'cut it's own throat"
 Foreign buyers quit. Retail trade stagnated. Native Austrians did not know whether to laugh or cry at a straw hat. in a window bearing the price mark of nnn crowns Emf +hav were not sold
 The next step in the reaction hit the basic industries. The few factories run ming have begun to curtail or close down as orders are cancelled and new contracts fail to come The ministry of speeiali- zation is besieged with requests from to be permitted to dis charge employees, it being reported that as high as twenty day have been recently received.
