High Prices Waver Below Record Altitude
The high cost of living fluctuated under its peak, with wheat leading gains by 3 to 4 1/2 cents as corn oats sugar eggs and livestock fell slightly. The Associated Press index edged down to 190.838 from 190.81, 4.98 points below the all time high, while observers showed mixed views on price trends for spring 1948. Consumers largely kept spending on staples though some butcher shops cut steak prices and eggs dropped a cent or two per dozen. The CIO PAC director in Boston accused business of squeezing workers out of every possible gain.
