Moderate Rise in the Consumer Price ndex The consumer price index (1981 = 1) was up.3% in April, the smallest rise in recent months. Six of the seven major component indexes registered moderate increases with the greatest upward pressure coming from housing, food and transportation. The CP was 4.6% higher than in April This rate remains unchanged in three months. The housing component increased.5% largely as a result of higher mortgage costs. Climbing new house prices, maintenance and repair charges and rents also contributed to the April advance. This component continues to follow the upward movement of the last six months.

2 Moderate Rise in the Consumer Price ndex Higher prices for fresh fruit, vegetables and beef pushed the food index up.4%. Price declines in soft drinks, cured meats and breakfast cereal moderated the overall rise in this component, which has risen for four consecutive months.

The only component to register a decline was clothing (-.4%) which droppped largely as a result of heavy promotional activities, especially in mens wear. Consumer Price ndex Dec. Jan. Feb. Mar.

Sales fell.6% to $14. billion. The decline was attributable to decreases reported by motor vehicle dealers (-1.7%) and merchandise stores (-7.%). The fall was partly offset by small gains in combination stores, service stations, and drug stores. Department store sales advanced slightly in February (.3%) and March (.2%); however, the increases did not fully compensate for a sharp 1.9% decline in January. The rate of growth of sales on a yearto-date basis are lagging behind results for 1988 by almost two percentage points. Retail Trade Nov. Dec. Jan. Feb.
