The Labor Department reported that wholesale prices rose 1.2 percent in November, down from October and marking the slowest rise in 13 months. Prices for farm products and processed foods jumped, with sugar and confectionery leading consumer food price gains. Officials cited higher processing and distribution costs as the main culprit, while agriculture analysts noted most of the consumer food price increase stems from margins rather than farm costs.

House rejects tax cut plan ending oil depletion allowance
The House Rules Committee killed a multimillion-dollar tax overhaul aimed at ending the petroleum depletion allowance and increasing oil industry taxes while cutting taxes for many Americans. The measure would have raised taxes on production at home and abroad, boosted the investment tax credit, closed major loopholes, and revised various tax rules including for political organizations. The panel adjourned early for the session, citing focus on other bills. UAW President Leon Woodcock said no tax-cut proposal was discussed with Ford, while noting the auto and construction sectors face an economic crisis and costs.
