Dec. SO Wholesale prices edited nearer to day the all-time crest ol May 1920. and government economists say Uiey can Ilnd nothing to indicate that 1948 prices will slop there. With the exception of some items which slowed down the food group at least temporarily, wholesale prices on 900 commodities studied by the bureau of labor statistics sailed unchecked past another post war mark during the week ended December 20. An index figure of 162.5 was re corded for that date by the BLS. which uses average prices prevail ing in 1926 as its 100, or normal wholesale level. In May 1920, the bureau says prices averaged 167.2 per cent of the 1926 average. Re lating the Index points to percent ages, there is less than 3 per cent ditference in prices today and those existing in May 1920. PeaJt in February At the present rate of climb, wholesale prices should topple the 192U high about the end of Feb ruary, the economists say and keep on going in contrast to the ex perience 27 years ago. Then the Index dropped from 167.2 to 96 in May 1921. just one year later. It struck a bottom of 59 8 in February 1933. ! The statisticians say employment holding near the 60.000.000-mark ; and demand for goods of all kinds appear likely to sustain wholesale prices next spring. They declare that -political pres sures" on both the Truman admini stration and congress for a halt in the price trend may alter the pic ture, but they shy away from any opinions on the best approach. The BLS consumers price index. described as representing actual cost of living to the householder, already has broken all records. It stood at a peak of about 16S per cent of the 1935-39 average on November 15. the latest available computation.
