It expects 8 to 12 percent cuts in individual income payments, 15 to 20 percent lower wholesale food prices, and farmer returns 20 to 25 percent below forecasts this fall. A rapid fall in living costs could raise real wages and sustain activity. contrastingly, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a 1.5 percent weekly rise in commodity prices to a post 1920 high for the period ended March 1.
