Price Movements
July 1987
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
(CPI-U) rose 0.2 percent before seasonal adjustment in July
to a level of 340.8 (1967 = 100). For the 12-month period
ended in July, the CPI-U has increased 3.9 percent.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and
Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also rose 0.2 percent in July,
prior to seasonal adjustment. The July 1987 CPi-w level of
335.6 (1967 = 100) was 3.9 percent higher than the index
in July 1986.
CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.2 percent
in July following a 0.4-percent increase in June. The smaller
advance in July was largely due to a downturn in food prices
and a slowdown in energy prices. The food index declined
0.2 percent in July following a 0.7-percent rise in June,
primarily due to a sharp turnaround in fruit and vegetable
prices. The index for energy, which rose 1.5 percent in June,
increased 0.1 percent in July. Prices for energy commodiies
continued to advance, but were nearly offset by a 3.1-percent
drop in charges for natural gas. Excluding food and energy,
the CPI-U rose 0.3 percent in July following a 0.2-percent
increase in June.
For the first 7 months of 1987, the CPI-U has advanced at
a 5.0-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate. Energy prices
have increased at a 14.3-percent rate; food prices, 3.5 percent; and the CPI-U excluding food and energy, 4.5 percent.
The food and beverage index declined 0.2 percent in July
following a 0.7-percent increase in June. Grocery store food
prices declined 0.5 percent in July, largely due to a sharp
turnaround in fruit and vegetable prices. After advancing at a
17.3-percent annual rate in the first 6 months of 1987, the
index for fruits and vegetables declined 3.6 percent in July.
The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs continued to
increase—up 0.3 percent in July—but substantially less than
the double digit rates recorded in May and June. Increases
in beef, 0.6 percent, pork, 0.9 percent, and eggs, 1.1 percent were partially offset by a 1.0-percent decline in poultry
prices. Among other grocery store foods, the index for dairy
products declined 0.2 percent, while prices for cereal and
bakery products rose 0.4 percent. The other two components
of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—rose 0.3 and 0.4 percent, respectively.
Housing costs continued to rise moderately, increasing 0.2
percent in July. The index for fuel and other utililties declined
0.1 percent following a 0.8-percent rise in June. The 3.1 percent drop in charges for natural gas more than offset increases
in the indexes for fuel oil, 1.2 percent, electricity, 0.1 percent, and other utilities 0.9 percent. Within the latter group,
the index for telephone services rose 0.9 percent as increases
in charges for local calls and intrastate toll calls were partially offset by a 4.2-percent decline in charges for interstate
toll calls. Shelter costs rose 0.3 percent in July. Within
shelter, renters' costs rose 0.9 percent, homeowners' costs,
0.1 percent, and maintenance and repair costs, 1.9 percent.

The advance in renters' costs was primarily due to larger
than usual seasonal increase in charges for lodging while out
of town. The index for residential rent rose 0.4 percent. The
other major group in the housing component—household
furnishings and operations—increased 0.3 percent in July.
The transportation index rose 0.6 percent in July, with increases in prices for motor fuels and new and used vehicles
accounting for about four-fifths of the advance. Gasoline
prices—up 1.1 percent in July—have increased 17.7 percent
in the first 7 months of this year. Despite the increase thus
far in 1987, as of July, gasoline prices were 28.4 percent
below their peak level of March 1981. Used car prices continued to advance sharply, increasing 1.0 percent in July and
9.4 percent in thefirst7 months of 1987. New vehicle prices
rose 0.4 percent in July and 0.8 percent so far in 1987. The
index for automobile finance charges registered its third
consecutive increase—up 0.1 percent in July—after declining sharply earlier this year. Automobile insurance costs
increased 0.6 percent in July, the same as in June and about
the same as the average monthly increase for the first 7
months of 1987. The index for public transportation was virtually unchanged in July, following declines in each of the
preceding 3 months. The continued decline in fares for
airlines was offset by increases in other forms of intercity
public transportation.
The index for apparel and upkeep—down 0.6 percentdeclined for the second consecutive month after advancing

4.6 percent in the first 5 months of 1987. Larger than usual
seasonal price reductions, principally for women's clothing^
and footwear, were responsible for the July decrease.
The medical care component advanced 0.5 percent in July
to a level 6.7 percent above a year ago, In July, the index
for medical care commodities—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—increased 0.7 percent. The index for medical care services rose 0.5 percent,
with the cost of professional services and hospital and related
services both up 0.6 percent.
Entertainment costs rose 0.5 percent in July following a
0.1-percent increase in June. Advances in prices for reading materials—up 0.7 percent—and charges for admissions
(to movies, theaters, concerts, operas, other musical events,
and sporting events)—up 1.5 percent—accounted for over
two-thirds of the July entertainment increase.
The other goods and services component rose 0.8 percent
in July and has increased at a 8.4-percent annual rate so far
this year. Prices for tobacco products increased 1.9 percent
in July and accounted for nearly one-half of the other goods
and services advance.
CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers
(CPI-W)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers also rose 0.2 percent in July.
Reconciling Two Meaures
of Consumer Price Change:
First Quarter 1987
This article continues the analysis of differences between
two price measures—the Consumer Price Index (CPl-u) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Implicit Price
Deflator for Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the
Department of Commerce. More information on the technique of reconciliation appears in the September 1981
Monthly Labor Review.1
Effective December 1985, BEA rebased the PCE data from
a 1972 to a 1982 reference base. 2 With the use of a 1982
reference base, the residual housing effect, 3 which had contributed a substantial portion of the cumulative difference
between the CPI and PCE through 1982, is no longer a contributing factor, since both the CPI and PCE have used a
rental equivalence measure of homeowners' costs since the
beginning of 1983.
fixed-weight PCE. " Other" effects historically have resulted, in part, from differences in seasonal adjustment
methods, different market baskets, and the use of Consumer
Expenditure Survey data for determining the weight distribution in the CPI as opposed to the use of GNP composition
to determine the PCE weighting structure. The CPI introduced
weights derived from the 1982-84 Consumer
Expenditure Survey in January 1987, whereas the PCE has
used 1982 based weights since 1982. This gap in weighting
further contributed to differences reflected in "other"
effects between 1982 and 1986.
Additional insight into the large difference in other effects
is gained through examining the measured increases in durable goods, nondurable goods, and services between 1982 and
1986. These increases as well as the 1986 relative importance of the three groups are shown below:
PCE (1982-weight)
Relative
1982-86
importance difference
Cumulative differences
The PCE continued to increase at a faster rate than the CPI
through the first quarter of 1987 (see table C). The CPI-U
has advanced 15.9 percent since 1982, while the currentweight PCE has risen 16.9 percent. At the end of the first
quarter the difference between the cumulative percent
changes in the two indexes was 1.0 percentage point.
The net difference is the result of two partially offsetting
factors—weighting differences and an aggregate of "other"
effects. Weighting differences, which reflect the cumulative
effect of using fixed 1982 weights rather than current, or
moving, weights, accounted for a first quarter 1987 fixedweight index which was 1.0 percentage point higher than
the current-weight PCE. The weighting effect has been more
than offset by a 2.0-percentage-point difference in "other"
effects as measured by a comparison of the CPI-U with the

Period-to-period differences
Analysis of differences in the annual and quarterly rates
of change in the CPI and PCE (see table D) makes use of the
chain-weight PCE in place of the current-weight PCE.4 The
CPI-U rose at an annual rate of 5.3 percent from fourth
quarter 1986 to first quarter 1987. This was 0.2 percent more
than the 5.1-percent increase in the chain-weight PCE. During the fourth quarter, the CPI-U and the chain-weight PCE
increased at rates of 2.6 percent and 3.6 percent, respectively.
Comparing the chain-weighted PCE with the fixed 1982weighted PCE in the first quarter shows an annualized rate
for the chain-weighted index which was 0.1 percentage point
higher than the PCE rate using fixed weights. The firstquarter rates for the CPl-u and the fixed-weight PCE, which
determine the "other" effects, showed a 0.3 percent difference.

Consumer Price Index Revision
The Bureau of Labor Statistics introduced a revised
Consumer Price Index (CPI) with the release of the January
1987 index in February 1987. As a result of the revision,
both the CPI-U and the CPI-W now use updated expenditure
weights based upon data tabulated from 3 years (1982, 1983
and 1984) of the Consumer Expenditure Surveys, replacing
the old expenditure weights based on 1972-73 data. The
Bureau periodically revises the expenditure weights so that
the CPI reflects price changes of items currently being
purchased by consumers.
A greatly enhanced housing survey designed to improve
the rental equivalence measure of homeownership costs in
both the CPi-u and CPi-w was introduced with release of the
January 1987 CPI. The selection of the new housing sample
is structured to represent optimally both owners and renters
in the estimation of shelter costs.
In addition, a number of methodological and sampling
advances first introduced in the 1978 revision were enhanced
and incorporated into the CPI for January 1987. For example,
the selection of the urban areas and the allocation of outlet
samples in which prices are collected for the CPI were done
by the Bureau with the primary objective of producing the
most accurate national CPI possible with the funds available.
The CPI revision was begun as a 5-year project in 1984. In
addition to the new expenditure weights and enhancements
introduced with the January 1987 CPI, other technical
improvements will be introduced over the next 2 years. (See,
for example, ' 'Adjustment of Shelter Indexes for Aging
Effects," page 5.)
Also, the January 1987 index was based for the first time
on the geographic distribution of consumers as of the 1980
Census of Population. The previous CPI used the 1970
Census of Population. The requirement to allocate the
sample so as to provide the most accurate national CPI has
resulted in some local areas not having samples sufficient
to permit frequent publication. Therefore, effective with
release of the data for January 19E7, a number of local area
CPi's are now published less frequently. The areas affected
by the changes in publication are identified later in this article.
Both of the CPi's are linked to the indexes for December
1986 to provide a continuous series. The linking was
accomplished by setting the index levels of the revised CPI,
with the updated expenditure weights and samples,equal to
the index levels published for the previous series in December
1986. Each index has been moved upward or downward from
the December 1986 level in accordance with subsequent
changes in prices.
As in the past, the Bureau is publishing selected indexes
using the old expenditure weights for 6 months after the
issuance of the revised CPI. In order to conserve resources,
the overlap indexes will differ from the revised indexes
only in their expenditure weights. Unlike earlier revisions,
the overlap indexes are not based on the old sample of items
and outlets. The reference base period for revised CPI indexes
issued for January 1987 is 1967 = 100, the same as for the
previous indexes: As described below, this reference base
period will be changed to 1982-84=100 effective with the
CPI for January 1988.
In addition to the national all-city average CPI-U and CPi-w
indexes, the Bureau previously published indexes for 28 local
areas. In 1987, the Bureau is publishing indexes for all but
one of these areas—Northeast Pennsylvania (ScrantonWilkes-Barre). Because of the requirement to allocate the
sample to provide the most accurate national CPI possible,
however, 14 of the remaining 27 published areas have had
a change in the frequency of their publication.
Based on population growth since 1970 and the expanded
definitions of the Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas
issued by the Office of Management and Budget, the San
Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area has replaced the DetroitAnn Arbor area as the fifth largest area covered by CPI
indexes. For that reason, the San Francisco area is now
published monthly while the Detroit area is published only
for even-numbered months rather than monthly.
Indexes for 12 areas previously published bimonthly are
now compiled on a semiannual average basis. These areas
are: Buffalo-Niagara Falls, N.Y.; Cincinnati-Hamilton,
Ohio-Ky.-Ind; Kansas City, Mo.-Kansas City, Kan.;
Milwaukee, Wis.; Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.-Wis.;
Atlanta, Ga.; Anchorage, Alaska; Denver-Boulder, Colo.;
Honolulu, Hawaii; Portland-Vancouver, Ore.-Wash.; San
Diego, Calif.; and Seattle-Tacoma, Wash.
The semiannual average indexes, which refer to the
arithmetic averages of the 6-month periods from January
through June and July through December, are published with
release of the CPI for July and January, respectively, i.e.,
in the months of August and February. These series are compiled and published on their previous reference bases,
1967 = 100 for all areas other than Anchorage, which is on
an October 1967 reference base. Also, the Cleveland-AkronLorain, Ohio, indexes are now published for odd-numbered
rather than even-numbered months.
Indexes were previously published bimonthly for 4 regions,
5 size classes, and 16 region-by-size groups. Beginning with
January 1987, publication of these indexes is monthly; two
of the size classes have been combined and two of the regionby-size groups (nonmetropolitan areas in the West and in the
East) were eliminated.
Additional details on the revision are available from BLS.
Adjustment of Shelter Indexes
for Aging Effects
Recent Bureau of Labor Statistics research demonstrates
that the CPFs for residential rent and owners' equivalent rent
should be adjusted for the effects of the aging of the housing
units. Currently the BLSdoes not adjust for the fact that, on
average, houses amd apartments depreciate slowly through
time. If the results from the revised shelter survey confirm
this initial result, then an aging adjustment will be introduced
with the CPI for January 1988. (The research results indicate
that annual changes for the residential rent and owners'
equivalent rent indexes would be about 0.3 percent larger
if aging adjustments were included.) The basic research
papers on this topic are available from the BLS.
Consumer Price Indexes Will
Shift to New Reference Base
in 1988
Beginning with the release of data for January 1988 in
February 1988, most Consumer Price Indexes will shift to
a new reference base year. All indexes currently expressed
on a base of 1967 = 100, or any base through December
1981, will be rebased to 1982-84=100. Only indexes with
a base later than December 1981 will keep their current
bases. This base change was reviewed by the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, Office of Management
and Budget and is in keeping with their longstanding policy
to update index bases periodically. Selection of the 1982-84
period was made to coincide with the updated expenditure
weights, which are based upon data tabulatedfromthe Consumer Expenditure Surveys for 1982, 1983, and 1984. The
last rebasing of CPI data occurred in February 1971, when
the current 1967 base was substituted for the former 1957-59
base. Historical data for each CPI series on the new base will
be available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). For
the convenience of users, the BLS will continue to publish
all items indexes for the U.S. city average, and for the individual local areas for which CPis are published on their
former official reference base (1967=100 in most cases).
Conversion factors will also be available from BLS. Multiplication by one of these factors will rebase the related
index seriesfromits current base to a 1982-84 reference base.
To help users in planning for this change, BLS is supplying
the conversion factors for the U.S. City Average All Items
CPI-U and CPI-W at this time; they are .3338279 and
.3357176, respectively. As an example, the 1967=100 based
U.S. City Average All Items CPI-U and CPi-w for January
1987 are 333.1 and 327.7 respectively. When multiplied by
the appropriate rebasing factor, these indexes become 111.2
and 110.0, respectively, on a 1982-84=100 base. (Users
should note: because of rounding effects, there may be
occasional minor differences between the final rebased index
and the result obtained using the conversion factor).

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are byproducts of the national CPI
program. Each local index has a smaller sample size than the national
index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other
measurement error. As a result, local area indexes show greater
volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are
similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users
to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator
clauses.

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are byproducts of the national CPI
program. Each local index has a smaller sample size than the national
index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other
measurement error. As a result, local area indexes show greater
volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are
similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users
to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator
clauses.

Technical Notes
Brief Explanation of the CPI
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the
average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket
of goods and services. The Bureau of Labor Statistics
publishes CPfs for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All
Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 80
percent of the total population and (2), a CPI for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers (CPi-W) which covers 32 percent of the total population. The CPI-U includes, in addition
to wage earners and clerical workers, groups such as professional, managerial, and technical workers, the selfemployed, short-term workers, the unemployed, and retirees
and others not in the labor force.
The CPI is based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, and
fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors' and dentists'
services, drugs, and the other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 91 urban areas across the country from about 60,000 housing units
and approximately 21,000 retail establishments—department
stores, supermarkets, hospitals, filling stations, and other
types of stores and service establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are included in the index. Prices of food, fuels, and a few other items
are obtained every month in all 91 locations. Prices of most
other commodities and services are collected every month
in the five largest geographic areas and every other month
in other areas. Prices of most goods and services are obtained by personal visits of the Bureau's trained representatives.
Mail questionnaires are used to obtain public utility rates,
some fiiel prices, and certain other items.
In calculating the index, price changes for the various items
in each location are averaged together with weights which
represent their importance in the spending of the appropriate
population group. Local data are then combined to obtain
a U.S. city average. Separate indexes are also published by
size of city, by region of the country, for cross calculations
of regions and population-size classes, and for 27 local areas.
Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices
among cities, they only measure the average change in prices
for each area since the base period.
The indexes measures price change from a designated
reference date, 1967, which equals 100.0. An increase of
203 percent, for example, is shown as 303.0. This change can
also be expressed in dollars as follows: The price of a base
period "market basket" of goods and services in the CPI has
risen from $10 in 1967 to $30.30.
For further details see BLS Handbook of Methods, Vol.
II, "The Consumer Price Index," Bulletin 2134-2, April
1984 and "The Consumer Price Index: 1987 Revision, "BLS
Report 736, January 1987.
Calculating Index Changes
Movements of the indexes from one month to another are
usually expressed as percent changes rather than changes in
index points, because index point changes are affected by
the level of the index in relation to its base period while percent changes are not. The example in the accompanying box
illustrates the computation of index point and percent
changes.
Percent changes for 3-month and 6-month periods are expressed as annual rates and are computed according to the
standard formula for compound growth rates. These data indicate what the percent change would be if the current rate
were maintained for a 12-month period.

Homeownership Changes
calculated from bills priced within these ranges. It
should be noted that bills-priced for the CPI are not only
for different consumption amounts, but may also be
calculated from different types of residential rate
schedules. The average prices per therm and per
kilowatt hour are not, therefore, generally suitable for
use in place-to-place price comparisons.
The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural
gas and for 500 kilowatt hours of electricity (table P-l)
are calculated from a special price collection program.
They are not used in the calculation of the CPI. Since
heating and air-conditioning requirements vary by
geographic location, climate, and weather conditions, it
cannot be inferred that these consumption amounts
represent those used by a typical residential consumer.
These bills are used merely to track price changes over
time for constant amounts of consumption, to provide
data for place-to-place price comparisons, and to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and electricity
formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised
Consumer Price Index.
The Consumer Price Index (CPi) has been changed to
incorporate a rental equivalence measure of
homeowners' costs in accordance with plans announced
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on October 27,
1981. For the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPi-U), this
change was effective with release of the index for
January 1983 and for the CPI for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers (CPi-W), it was effective with the
release of the January 1985 index. The rental
equivalence approach calculates shelter costs of
homeowners based on the implicit rent owners would
have to pay to rent homes that they own. The old
method calculated homeownership as home purchase,
mortgage interest costs, property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and repairs. The new
homeownership component was introduced into both the
CPI-U and the CPI-W in such a manner that in each case
the indexes using the old and new methodologies were
equal in the so-called "link month"—December 1982
for the CPI-U and December 1984 for the CPI-W. For
more information, see the CPI Detailed Report for
January 1983, pp. 7-13.
Fuel oil. Only #2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced.
Prices are collected, in most cases, for quantities greater
than one gallon. These prices are converted to a per
gallon price for this program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity and/or quick payment.
Energy Prices
Prices are usually available for the U.S. city average,
28 large urban areas, and 16 areas reflecting the four
Census regions cross-classified by four population sizes.
However, not all energy commodities and services are
used in every area of the country. Fuel oil, for example,
is not a common heating fuel in some urban areas, particularly in the Sputh and West. Where no average
prices are available, the designation NA will appear. NA
will also appear if the data sufficiency criteria have not
been met in any given month. For example, if there are
fewer than five usable fuel oil prices for a published city
or region size class, no fuel oil prices for the area will be
published.
All prices, except for electricity, are collected monthly
by BLS representatives in the urban areas priced for the
CPI. Electricity prices are collected monthly on mail
questionnaires by the Department of Energy for BLS.
Prices for natural gas and electricity include fuel and
purchased gas adjustments and all applicable taxes. Fuel
oil and gasoline prices include applicable Federal, State,
and local taxes.
Gasoline. Gasoline prices are collected at the pump
from a sample of full service, mini-service, and selfserve gas stations.
Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTUX values for
some energy items are as follows, according to the
source indicated:
1 therm = 100,000 BTU'S (U.S. Department of
Energy).
1 kwh = 3,412 BTU'S (Edison Electric Institute)
1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 BTU'S (U.S. Department
of Energy).
Food Prices
In the revised CPI, actual weighted average prices are
calculated each month at the national level and for the
four Census geographic regions. As a result of changes
in price collection methodology and sample sizes,
average prices for individual cities cannot in general be
produced. It is hoped, however, that regional average
prices will help satisfy the need for local area data. It
should be noted, however, that the average food prices
in this report reflect variations in brand, quality, and
size among geographic areas. Users of average food
prices should be aware that these differences exist.
Because a number of food commodities are not
available in all areas on a year-round basis, prices will
Natural gas and electricity. Natural gas prices are
reported in therms, which are a measure of heating
value. Electricity prices are given in kilowatt hours
(kwh). For both utility services, the consumption ranges
specified in table P-2 are the upper and lower limits of
the bill sizes priced for the Consumer Price Index. The
average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are
220
not appear in some months for some regions or for the
U.S. city average. In other instances, sufficient prices
may not be available due to temporary disruptions in
supplies. Where no average prices are available, the
designation NA will appear. When a price is not
available from an individual store in any month, an
estimated price will be calculated for the missing item
and used in computing the average price. In cases where
the proportion of estimated prices used to calculate the
average is considered too high, the average price will not
be published and NA will appear for that item in the
table.
Because of space limitations in the table, the description for each item is abbreviated. More detailed
specifications are available from BLS Regional Offices
or from the Washington Office upon request.
Seasonally Adjusted and
Unadjusted Data
Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes
seasonally adjusted as well as unadjusted changes each
month.
For analyzing general price trends in the economy,
seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since they
eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur at the
same time and in about the same magnitude every y e a r such as price movements resulting from changing climatic
conditions, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays,
and sales.
The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers
concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data
are also used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans,
for example, tie compensation changes to the Consumer Price
Index unadjusted for seasonal variation.
Seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted
indexes are derived by the X-l 1 ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment
Method. The updated seasonal data at the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977. Subsequent annual updates
have replaced 5 years of seasonal data, e.g., data from 1982
through 1986 were replaced at the end of 1986. The seasonal
movement of all items and 43 other aggregations is derived
by combining the seasonal movement of 50 selected components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is
reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of
the 50 components change their status from not seasonally
adjusted to seasonally adjusted, seasonally adjusted indexes
will be used before the period.
