RISING PRICES.
TREND IN BRITAIN. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, April 8. The increase of 3.3 per cent, in the average of wholesale prices in March, says the Board of Trade Journal, is the largest recorded for any month since the upward movement began in J une, 1930. . Since that month the index numbers for all articles and for industrial materials and manufactures have risen continuously, the aggregate increases in the period being about 17 and 18 per cent, respectively. . Food- prices have also risen in eight of the past 10 months, and in March the usual seasonal decline from the February level was displaced by an advance of 2.1 per cent.
