Back to Back Declines in July Food and WPI Drops
Washington reports a July 4.0 percent fall in wholesale prices marking back-to-back monthly declines for the first time in two and a half years.

Industrial commodities such as metals, lumber, textiles, and machinery added to the trend, though fuels and transportation equipment softened the gains.
