DISPELLED

London, Aug. 9.

Berlin. Aug. 9.

The Co-operative Society of Berlin, which has 120,000 mem- bers, chiefly small officials, has suspended payment.

The society has its own chain of shops, from which it has been selling goods very cheaply. It also has its own savings bank with an annual turnover 11.250,000.

The collapse is mainly due to the reduced purchasing power of the members, owing to salary cuts and consequent dwindling deposits.Reuter.
