January's consumer price index edged down again due to lower meat and groceries, even as costs rose in coal, copper, lumber, fuel oil, tin, rubber and rayon. Wholesale prices rose about 12 percent year over year, with farm products depressed by a 25 percent five year decline. Forecasters expect 1956 to bring continued increases in many consumer costs, though farm prices may stabilize.
