Cost of Living
Hits New High
WASHINGTON. Feb. 25 (/P)-
The gox’emment announced today
that food prices reached a record
high last month, sending over-all
living costs to a new peak. The
increase was the biggest in 18
months.
Officials said moreover they
foresaw no relief for housewives
from soaring costs over-the next
18 months.
They held out hope that heavy
price cuts being felt in raw ma
terial markets—for rubber, met
als, hides, wool, petroleum and
lumber and so on—may trickle to
the consumer level in the form
of lower prices by summer and
fall, and also that food may de
cline somewhat
The new living cost peak was
measured at 122.3 ner cent of the
1947-49 average of the consumer
price index. This was an increase
of six-tenths of one per cent from
December to January. It was the
largest monthly rise since July
1958.
-The new living cost jump was
attributed mainlv to the record
freezes of Florida’s winter fruit
and vegetables crops, and to a
low suddlv of meat with conse
quently high costs.
