YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Prices Near Stability Ideal
~ SYLVIA PORTER

Your cost OF living, as an
average city family, probably
will rise about is per cent in
1861 just as it went up around
is per cent in 1960-which
means your country has
achieved as close to the ideal
of reasonable price stability as
can be hoped for in a grow
ing, dynamic economy.
We are in a phase of extra
ordinary steadiness in the price
level of most goods and Of only
modest increases in the prices
of most services.
An overall price rise Of this
size over a full year-which
hides the fact that while some
prices are going up. plenty are
going down too-is not infla-
ton by any yardstick.
Instead, as one of the Gov
ernment's top experts on price
trends put it when / talked with
him in Washington the other
day, This comparative level
ling off Of prices should be one
of our proudest boasts. Some
price increases are bound to
occur in a period Of economic
growth. But the great thing is
that we've reached the point
where wage hikes are not auto
matically translated into price
hikes, and on the contrary we're
raising the wage level while
holding the price level"
What this price authority
says is of major significance to
you.
For the fact is that millions
of American workers are WIN
ming pay hikes twice and three
times the increases in their
living costs now. Even after
they've paid all taxes. they're
marching impressively up the
the Standard-of Living ladder.
Some Cut Expenses
The fact is that millions Of
housewives are now able to
reduce their family's living ex-
penseS. This even though the
official consumer price index
the only measure we have of
changes in living costs-stands
at a record.
The fact is that the prices
of big-ticket items are distinct
ly lower than at this time a
year ago. Prices Of durable
goods generally are down 3 per
cent; of new cars more than
3.5; Of used cars more than IA
per cent.
The fact is that increases
now are concentrated in serv-
ices, and the climb here too
has slowed to a crawl. When
compared with 1889 levels,
services as a whole have gone
up considerably less than COM
modities. The cost of services
is up around 88 per cent against
price increases in food of 157
per cent, in new cars Of l44
per cent, in commodities gen.
orally of 129 per cent.
The Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics won't release its consumer
price index for December until
the week of January %. But

Sears. Roebuck & Co., in what

billion Of its accounts receiv-
able to a group Of 30 banks.
The move would increase
Sears working capital about
$3.50 million by deferring pay
ment Of taxes on installment
sales as the company changes
to a new accounting system.
The transaction is awaiting

come effective January 81, at
the close Of the company's fis-
cal year.
All installment accounts
must be sold to avoid a tax
penalty. the company said

headed by the Continental H.

Co., would acquire title to the
$l.l billion assets in exchange
for cash and negotiable non

Responsibility for collection
of credit accounts would re-
main with Sears.
The company currently op-
crates on the accrual system of

But under the installmcnt

Sears plans to adopt, taxes are

that the index changed only a
tiny fraction from November
and that the index ended 1860
at about 1878, up is per cent
over the close of 1859. This
means it now costs $l2.75 to
buy the same goods and services

Why q Rise?
This 1860 rise is roughly the
same as in 1859 and in 1858. It
is far less than the annual in
creases in 1857 and 1856. There
is no comparison between re-
cent mild advances and the up
surges which followed World
War II and were made in
evitable by the scarcities and
controls during the abnormal
wartime l940s.
Since we're into an unmis-
taxable business recession, why
is the outlook for a further rise
in living costs in 1861?
The plain answer is that the
prices of services are still climb
ing and it's unlikely that others
Of our expenses will decline on
a broad enough front to offset
this trend. Service costs will re-
fleet the higher wages and SAL
aries to be paid to those in

previously emphasized fact that
