Cost of living drops eyed in early May report
The National Industrial Conference Board reports there was a sharp fall from July 1914 highs, with current living costs about 65 percent higher than that baseline and monthly declines averaging under 1 percent since April 1921. The May entry levels show varied percentage gaps above 1914 costs across essential items. Railroad equipment demand expected to rise in July as Baldwin Locomotive Works runs at a quarter capacity while steel mills run around 28 percent. U S Steel shows a small output gain to 45 percent capacity.
