Mr.. Snyder commented that this
Nations position on gold is sun
changed" in discussing plans for
attending the meeting of the World
Bank and International Monetary
Fund in Mexico City Tuesday.
This country has been buying
and selling gold at $35 an ounce,
setting the world price. Some gold
producing countries have urged
that the United States increase
the price.
The Labor Department report
said the latest wholesale price
index stood at 1l1.9 August 26,

Gus week, and 110.7 for the week
that ended July 8, The l947-49
period is figured at 100.
Farm products in the index de-
clined IL per cent in price COM
pared with the preceding week.
Lower prices were shown for many
fresh fruits and vegetables, live
stock, raw cotton and wheat. Pro-
cessed foods were down 2 per cent
with the biggest drops reported
for beef, lamb and pork products.
Butter Prices Up.
Butter prices continued upward
with reports Of decreasing produc-
ton. Prices were up for lard
and other fats and oils. Eggs.
corn, oats. calves and some fruits
and vegetables also were higher.
The Agriculture Department re-

The report noted that farm
prices have gone up only per

The drought which affected
wide areas in southeastern and
eastern States during July and
early August had little If any
effect on farm prices. Some Gov
ernment officials had expressed
concern that the dry weather
could cause sharp advances in
both farm and retail food prices.
officials said that If present
generally favorable weather con-
ditions continue, total farm pro-
duction would be larger than ex-
pected. This could cause a modest
decline in farm prices during the
