UNREST IN EUROPE

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day.
The atmosphere of prosperity in London was commented on by Mr. E. B. Myer, chairman of directors of the Myer Emporium, Melbourne, who is returning with his wife on the Mariposa. It was difficult to obtain hotel accommodation even now. and already hotels were booked out for the Coronation. London was benefiting by the state of unrest in Europe and there was almost a boom there. Paris was depressed and the lack of gaiety in other European capitals was sending prosperous holiday-makers to England. Mr. Myer related.an amusing aspect of the big stay-in strike in the Paris departmental stores. He said that the workers kept bosses and customers out, but each morning they dressed the shop windows anew.
