BERLIN, June IA demonstration
Of unemployed at Bautzen, near Dres-
den, last night resulted in a collision
between the demonstrants and the
police, in which two bystanders were
killed and six injured, it is announced
in a telegram from Bautzen today.
The German mark continued to drop
In the exchange market here today.
Opening this morning at about $500
to the dollar, it had by noon reached
1850
Close on the heels OF the new col
lapse of the mark has come the in
evitable rise in prices affecting vir-
tually every article of daily necessity.
The increases range from so to more
than 100 per cent, as compared with
the prevailing prices at the beginning
of May.
Dizzying Repetition.
The German people, particularly in
Berlin, are finding themselves grow
ing more and more dizzy as they are
caught in the vicious circles of new
depreciation in the currency, followed
by higher wholesale and then by
higher retail prices with consequent
demands for more wages; then a
repetition of the same cycle of events.
During the last few days in Berlin
the retail cost of the most essential
foodstuffs has become virtually
double that of the first part of May.
Lard has gone up more than 100 per
cent. What will happen among the
poorer classes when the new bread
prices go into effect Is exciting wide
comment
Flour recently jumped to four-fold
figures and the Berlin bakers metric
day to decide what they shall charge
for bread to the poor. this commodity
being always sold cheaper on pre-
senting of a governmental bread card.
The bakers also intend to fix new
increases for other products, which
are expected to amount to from 80
to so per cent.
Car Fares Increased.
The public traffic services begin
the month with fares which have
been increased from SO to 100 per
cent. The city magistrates have
warned the people to be prepared
for a rise in the prices of gas. cleo
tricity and water on account Of the
new increase of SO per cent in the
cost Of coal and the higher freight
rate. The railways also have doubled
their passenger fares. --., -
Rents have been raised by one-half
and clothing and shoes on about the
same ratio: At a leading hotel in
Inter Den Linen yesterday the prices
OF sandwiches shot up within an
hour from 5000 marks to $500.
Meanwhile, according to the press,
the wages of the workinEmen show
an average increase only of from 40
to. SO per cent. Most Of the new
prices are attributed to the recent
increases in wages or in the coat of
other necessities in production.
The Berlin police have been in
structed to be particularly alert in
prosecuting spectators.
