Reed. noon. LONDON, Tuesday. The Riga correspondent of "The Times” states that the bread crisis in Moscow is so acute that the authorities have suspended the sale of flour. It is not expected the situation will improve before October, owing to the necessity of sending supplies to the surrounding districts, whose need, according to Mr. Ukhanoff, chairman
of the Moscow Soviet, is worse than Moscow’s. A shortage of meat, especiall) l- ham sausages, is causing lengthy queues. The supplies reaching Moscow total only 25 per cent., of the requirements. There is a lack of clothing, owing to textile crisis, due to a scarcity of raw materials. The unemployed in Moscow total 250,000.
