Economic outlook improves
as wholesale prices stabilize
WASHINGTON (P)-The gov-
ernment reported yesterday that
prices were unchanged at the
wholesale level in November,
softening some of the inflation-
ary pressure which had plagued
the economy this fall.
The nation's major retail
stores, meanwhile, reported that
growing consumer confidence in
the economy and some early
Christmas shopping boosted No-
vember sales.

of increase in wholesale prices,
including an October jump of
1.8 per cent, which was thef
largest of the year. For the
three months ended in October,
wholesale prices had jumped at
an annual rate of 13.5 per cent,
compared to a six-tenths of one
per cent annual rate of increase
this spring.
The report l e f t wholesale
prices 3.7 per cent ahead of
where they were a year ago in
