Food Costs Rise in May and Bank Rates Hit 7 Percent
May saw sharp increases in food clothing and gasoline with the Labor Department reporting a six tenths of a percent rise in the cost of living. The First National Bank of Chicago raised the prime rate to 7 percent prompting several banks to follow. Purchasing power fell as prices climbed, while take home pay edged up modestly but was offset by higher living costs. Overseas, the dollar strengthened in Europe after record lows a week earlier.
