Wholesale Price Rise Tied to Farm Products Spark Food Inflation
December wholesale prices jumped 1.8 percent led by a 6.8 percent rise in farm product costs and a 5.1 percent increase in processed foods. Officials cited weather delays and grain shortages from U.S. exports, while the White House rejected price controls on raw farm goods and eyed supply expansion. Authorities warned consumer bills would rise in coming weeks and criticized Nixon's inflation program as inequitable.
