Prices rise in July but hope for CPI relief noted
Washington reports July consumer prices up 1.2 percent at an annual rate of 14.4 percent, with food leading gains at 17 percent.

Meat, produce, gasoline, and used cars drove about three quarters of the increase. GNP for Q2 rose 1.6 percent, while wheat sales effects are deemed negligible on the CPI.
