Price Levels May Rise in First Quarter 1947
The Bureau of Agricultural Economics predicts higher general price levels in early 1947 due to sustained income payments and demand for goods in short supply. It notes consumer spending may rise but likely not match the surge seen in the previous two winters, as saving declines. Farmers’ cash receipts from marketings in 1946 hit a record $2,000,000, about 15 percent above 1945.
