A hundred years ago | World prices on the increase

The latest index numbers of wholesale prices published by the International Labour Office, those for August and September, show a tendency for prices to rise in certain countries. This movement was most marked in Poland and Germany, but was also appreciable in Belgium, France, Luxemburg, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In Austria, Switzerland, Canada, India and Japan, wholesale prices fell, while in other countries for which new figures are available, the level appears to have been stable or the movement insignificant.
