Retail prices likely to increase

WASHINGTON (47 - Rising steady stream of upbeat eco-
farm prices brought an abrupt nomic news, which President

stable wholesale prices in April issues.

Wholesale prices had shown
little change since October and
even declined at an annual rate
of 1.8 per cent during the first
three months of the year. lIeTail
price increases slowed to 29
per cent annual rate in the first
quarter.
But administration econnists
had warned that the low infla-
tion rate was unlikely to last
and said prices were expected to
begin picking up again.
MAYNARD COMIEZ, the Com-
merce Department's acting chief
economist, called the April
wholesale renort "about what we
exnected." He said as the eco-
nomic recovery continues and
expands. "we are likely to see
some rising prices, but I don't
think it's going to be in double-
diit figures"
The economist noted that re-
cently annon-ed price in-
creases for steel, alumintm and
gesoline have vet to be reflected
at the retail level, and will be-
ein showing up in May and
Jone.

coimt for easonal inflences,
o the tirz st since last Octo-
hi when >ou-sese prices rose
1.1 per cInt. If prics increased
at the April rate for 12 ionths
they would be up early 10 per
cent.
Ford a-inistratio officials
forcest prices will neroase
about ten per cent this year, an
improvement over the seven per
cent rise last year nd the 12.2
per cent julp in 1974.
Wholesale p r i c e increases
eventually show up at the retail
level, thougth there re time ags
aid relationships are not always
precise.
HIGhER prices for livestock,
eggs and coffee offset declines
for poultry, grains and milk last
moith. Farm prices had de-
clined dring the firstdthree
months of the year.
Prices for processed foods and
feeds also.rose sharply in April,
climbing 1.9 per cent swith le-t'
reflecti ng the higher livestock
prices.
Industrial prices, regarded as
a more reliable measure of in-
flation, rose only three-tenths of
one per cent in April. Metals,
paper and chemicals were up
while prices declined for lumber
products.
ESPECIALLY worrisome was
a sharp second consecutive
monthly increase in crude ma-
terial prices. These advances
will show up in the coming
mouths as they work their way
through the price chain,
The category of wholesale
prices related most directly to
retail prices is the sector called
consumer goods. These prices
rose 1.4 per cent in April after
declining in each of the previous
three months.
