Prices Still Well Above Last Year Washington. Feb. 5.— H'Pl — Another government ageucy found evidence today that the inflationary spiral is headed back to earth. In its monthly price report, the agriculture department said there was evidence that the prices of certain luxury items and some farm and food products are drop . ping, and that the prices of many other commodities are leveling off. The federal reserve I>oard said last month that inflation had about run its course. The agriculture department not- ' < d, however, that even though inflation tnay be tapering off. the general price level is still high hy most hhtorical comparisons. Despite the weakening of farm and fotid prices, the report predicted that demand for these pro ducts would continue strong enough “to support prices at not greatly below the present level" until the new crops come in. For farmers, the report bore the new* that prices to be paid for most of their products during the i first two months of 1947 will average about 25 percent higher than the corresponding prices I last year. Livestock and livestock products i prices will lie nearly 50 percent higher than for January and February last year while receipts from meat animals may show a gain ot .75 percent.
