on the owners demanding that certain
structural changes be made in the

AUsTRIANs DRINKING LESS WINE.

:
Vienna-Wine growers and wine
sellers in Austria are alarmed at a
recent notable reduction in the con-
sumption of their wares. They are
loud in thier complaints, and they in
undate parliament with proposals to
help. The principal causes Of the fall
ing off in the consumption of wine
would seem to be, first, the exorbitant
prices asked by both producer, and
inn-keeper, and second, the conditions
of unemployment and half-time en-
ployment still reigning in the country.
These have converted the wine lover
