FOOD COSTS UP by

Food prices rose more sharply than other prices between Jan- uary and February indexes, bouncing up 1.9 points to 142..5 The bureau said prices were higher for all food except eggs, oranges, canned and frozen or- ange juice,. apple juice, celery, canned peas, macaroni, mix, cookies and a few miscel- laneous items.

The big price increases, ex- pressed by the bureau in - centages, were fats, including butter, up 3.1 per cent; meats, fish and poultry, up three per cent; and vegetablés, up 2.9 per vent. Food prices account for 27 per cent of the general con- sumer: price index.

Housing, shelter” ‘and house- hold operations, accounting for 32 per cent of the general index, its biggest component ,rose one- fifth: of a point to 243.1. Prices and rates were higher for in- surance, fuels, some utensils and equipment and household supplies. These outweighed lower prices and floor cover- ings’, ahd some’ furniture.

The clothing index, represent- ing 11 per cent of the general in- dex, was up six-tenths of a point to '123.3, mainly because of the return to regular prices after January sales in many lines of men's and women's wear, foot- and piece goods. There were, however, some . February sales of men's and boys’ over- coats and sweaters, boys’ shirts, girls’ winter coats, and women’s overshoes.

The transportation index, ac-

general index, rose nine-tenths of a point to an even 150, re- flecting higher costs of automo- | bile operation and local -trans- | portation rates. Automobile. in- surance rates were higher, gas- oline: and motor oil prices in- creased, and some taxi fares were higher. These outweighed | the “seasonal decline in train) fares. a

The recreation and reading {n- | dex rose a full point to 156.4 but | it accounts for only five per |

cent of the general index. Some | ==8iie;-—;

magazine subscription rates went up, as did the prices of | camera films and bicycles.

Higher cigarette prices pushed | ——

the tobacco and alcohol index up three - tenths of a point to 123.4. Alcohol prices were unchanged during the period surveyed. This index represents six per cent of the general index.

In the case of health and per- sonal care items, the index re- mained unchanged at 178.1. It represents seven per cent of the general index. There were mixed -price. changes in’ both pharmaceutical

each other out.

The general index and its components are compiled from surveys of prices of approxi- mately 300 goods and services, taken late in the month preced- ing the one for -whidh it-applies. Ti this case;-although called fhe February ifidex, the prices were sumveyed late in January.
