Of go stocks slipped CLIO TO

The limited trading interest
was mirrored In the marrow

1884 different issues crossed
the tape. OF these, eo4 re-
treated on the week and 26o

Brokers licked on these ex-
plantations for the investor
caution:
l. The uncertain effects Of

industries.
2. The lengthening steel

There's q reason for choos-
ing each base year, Of course,
For instance. 1918 marked the
start Of the index, 1920 marked
the peak Of the post-World
War I imitation. 1929 marked
the year Of the stock market
collapse, 1888 marked the bot
tom Of the great depression,
etc.
Base Year In Key
But notice how different are
the values Of today's dollar as
compared with the different

I can prove" to you that, as
Of today. the annual rate of
loss in the dollars value (the
rate Of inflation) has been only

That would be q most comfort
ing record. Or I can prove
to you that the annual rate Of
loss In the dollars value has
been almost 4 per cent II ]
go back to 1899. That's hardly
a loss to shrug OF.
It cannot be denied that the
dollar is worth less today than

" SYLVIA PORTER
What's your dollar worth?

What's your dollar worth?
II you've been listening to
Washington's stern warnings
about imitation in recent
months, you'll probably an
swer:
1.-THE dollar is worth only AZ
cents"
BY that you would mean that
measured in terms Of the OFF,
cial index of consumer prices,
the dollar which bought 100
cents Of goods and services In
1899 will buy only 48 cents Of
goods and services today.
But why automatically ac-
cept 1899 as the yardstick?
True, 1899 was the last year
before World War II and thus
it marks q turning point in
history. But 1899 was neither
a normal year nor an especially
happy one. What's more, to
millions Of Americans now
earning paychecks. spending
and saving money, 1899 was
before their time; they were
still at school, only indirectly
concerned with the dollars
value.
So let's say you measure the
value Of the dollar against
what 1t was buying in 1e47-49.
That period marked the end
Of World War II and the first
postwar imitation spiral. Also,
during those years millions Of
today's jobholders went to work
for the first time. If you took
1948 as q yardstick, your an
swer would have to be:
Loss Is Continuous
1.-THE dollar is now worth SO
cents"
Clearly the dollar has con-
tinued to lose value In the past
10 years-or putting It another
way, prices Of goods and serv-
ices we buy have continued to
climb. But just as clearly, the
pace Of loss in its buying power
has been a lot slower since 1949
than since 1899.
In the current bulletin Of the
Federal Reserve Bank Of Chi
cago is q short analysis which
