Serious riots have occurred ill Berliju owing to butchers! concealing and j,jb - fusing to sell meat. Officials made search, which revealed large quantities!, which wero forthwith sold publifclyi! The shops wero afterwards closed, and. crowds endeavoured to wreck the pre-! mises. The greatest disturbances curred at Wilmcrdorf. The military:' were called out and traffic was sus- r ponded for hours.. Brazilian and other Ministers atj( Berlin have gono with their families tot Switzerland, owing to the exorbitant)! prices of food, especially of milk andi eggs.
