Prices to Remain High After War Peak
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports retail food prices peaked in December 1918 with slight declines in January and February and rises in the following months. In April 1919 the average cost of twenty two food items was 15 percent higher than April 1915 and 85 percent higher than April 1913. Julius Rosenwald of Sears Roebuck & Co. expects little price relief, noting exceptions but no near term drop. John J. Arnold of First National Bank of Chicago shares a similar view that pre war prices are unlikely to return soon.
