Price 35 cents Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis P R E F A C E The charts and tables in this publication have been selected to supply a useful analytical tool for those concerned with evalu ating current price trends. Although based primarily upon the consumer and wholesale price indexes regularly published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a few other pertinent economic series have been included. Most of the charts begin with 1963, when the first evidences of the current industrial price uptrend appeared, but a few start with earlier periods in order to supply historical perspective. This year, the Bureau published for the first time seasonally adjusted indexes for selected consumer commodities, and some charts compare the trends of these seasonally-adjusted indexes with the matching unadjusted indexes. More detailed and comprehensive graphic presentations and tables can be found in Prices: A Chartbook. 1953-62 (Bulletin 1351) and the September 1963 Supplement (Bulletin 1351-1). This bulletin was prepared in the Branch of Price Economics of the Office of Prices and Living Conditions, Arnold E. Chase, Assistant Commissioner. mi C o n te n ts Page General price trends (Charts 1-7)...... ....... 1 Farm and food prices (Charts 8-14)....... ..... 8 Wholesale price index: Major groups, since 1955 (Charts 15-18).................... 14 Selected industrial prices, since 1963 (Charts 19-29)........... ......... 18 Consumer price index: Major groups, since 1959 (Chart 30)......... ............... 29 Consumer price index: Major sectors and selected nonfood commodities, since 1963 (Charts 31-36)........ •••••....... 30 Consumer services (Charts 37 and 38).... . ...... • 36 Appendix tables: 1.
