vienna IS AGAIN
CITY OF GAYETy
People Are FashionabIy Dressed
and Spend Money Freely
in Luxury Shops.
GOOD FOOD IS NOW PLENTIFUL
White Bread and Fancy Dainties Seen
Everywhere, but the Finances Of
the State Are In a Chaotic
Condition.

Vienna. - Finance and economics
seem to have parted company in Aus
tria.
With Its money situation chaotic,
there Is at the same time u generally
acknowledged betterment Of conditions
Of living.
Travellers revisiting Vienna say they
do not recognize the city of year ago.
The mass of the people are better
dressed, and more plentiful food is
shown in their healthy appearance.
The green and sallOw faces have disap-
peared, and on the whole the Viennese
are nearly back to normal as far as
external evidence goes.
Paris can hardly show more fash
that which turns out for the ring prom
enade In the afternoon or throngs the
high-class shopping district in the
mornings.
Shops Display Luxuries.
The shop display of luxurious wares
Of every description increases until the
Arbeiter Zeitung says 1t exceeds Wen
mas pest days of before the war. The
same newspaper admits there is steady
progress and betterment in business
and general conditions.
The famous delicatessen shops are
reOpening with almost their old-time
excellence. The windows are filled
with fancy dainties for which the city
was noted, canned stuffs Of the finest
foreign makes are to be bought, Ameri-
can crackers and biscuits are common
In the grocery stores, the candy shops
are restocked, and while last winter
pound Of sweets was virtually unprO-
durable the finest fresh bOnbOns now
are to be had in any quantity.
White bread Is served in nearly ev-
dows again display the famous Vienna
pastries and cakes. In the poorer dis
tricts even the butcher shops and gro
Gerry stores reflect the same condition.
Turning to finances, the current
statement Of the Austro-Hungarian
bank speaks for it. There are at the
moment $4,000 OO 900 crowns in circu-
lation and 4,OOO,OOO,OOO outstanding
treasury notes issued to the banks for
discount. But this cheap money Is
plentiful.
Everyone Is Spending.
Everyone seems to have II anu to be
spending 1t. Enormously advanced
prices for everything seem not to have
affected the volume of business.
Printing presses are now turning out
about 5,OOO,OOO,0O0 crowns a month
to meet the government expenses. The
current budget shows deficit of
$4,000, 600 600 crowns. The wealth levy
has produced thus far about 9,OO0,OOO,-
900 crowns, half Of which was paid In
war bonds, leaving enough cash from
this source to meet about one months
running expenses for the government.
Through It's spokesman and newspa-
pers the government Is urging the need
Of haste In the proposed credit plan
Of the League of Nations by which
enough foreign capital is sought to es-
tablish bank Of issue whose new cur
rency on gold basis Is expected grad
ually to stabilize the value Of the pres
ent crown.
