FOOD PRICES SOAR
TORECORD FIGURE

Retail prices in August were ]
per cent higher than In July. setting
a new high price record, the Bureau
og labor Statistics reported today.
Todays estimate, however, IS ap-
parently in conflict with the Depart
ment OF Justice statement that fig-
ures from twelve States indicate a
decline Of from 10 to 10 per cent In
foUd prices
Discussing its report, the Labor
Bureau says:
"This makes the total cost Of
twenty-five articles Of food, upon
which this comparison Is based, the
highest OF record"
The bureau further shows that
since August, 1918, food prices have
increased 10 per cent, and that dur
ing the siX-yesr period, from August,
1913, to 1919, food prices increased 81
per cent.
Except for meats, price increases, It
was. noted, were in the articles most
largely used.
The increase in August prices took
place during the height Of the Gov
ernments campaign to reduce living
costs. At the same time, all official
records show that wholesale prices
and prices paid producers fell
slightly.
