'ORCY Of SPENDING
SEXES MOSCOW
New Capitalists Squander
Millions Nightly, as in
Parliament Days.
By the Associated Press,

i MOSCOW, April 25.-Moscow's new
canitalists are indulging in an orgy
of spending that has enlivened the
, city's night life until restaurant and
| cabaret scenes resemble the palmiest
days before the war when Muscovite
merchants spent money freely. The
! millions of rubles netted by a days
| trade or speculation are squandered
at night because tomorrow the money.
| will buy less, as sprices for every
| thing are climbing daily.
When the ruble WAS quoted recent
4 ly at Searly 100000 to the dollar.
prices for foodstuffs and other COM
moditieS were four TO flve times AS
high as month previous, when the
ruble was worth nearly twice as
much.
The ruble equivalent of a dollar has
purchasing powers that are fantastic
when compared with American stand
ards, but which accurately typify the
, to knickknacks and superficial adorn
! ments.
A dollar will buy only twenty
pounds of black bread. two pounds of
| butter. four pounds of meat, even
/ less IN the line Of new wearing ap-
parel. But it will buy bit of an
tique jewelry, or porcelain that would
bring ten times as much in America.
The necessary tnlHSS nave ledpeu so
high in price that the people sacrifice
| the unessentials cheaply to get them.
The rising prices and decreasing
value of currency have sharpened the
contrast in the life of Moscow's in
| habitants. Thousands are unable TO
| buy even bread while hundreds pay
| the ruble equivalent of IS for a din
ner at the brilliant night restaurants.

| A month ago foreigners living in
| Moscow found living cheap when cal

rency. The soaring prices, however.
have changed all this and on a COM
/ narrative scale the cost of living is
. higher now in Moscow than in Ber-
