CHICAGO, Aug 5-The remarks of the man and woman in the street and behind thé counter show that a reported additional 2 cents in the buying value of the dollar is something they have not noticed yet. Experts-on- money- and prices, using for comparison the 1939 dollar and counting it as worth 100 tents in goods i$ would buy, say we had a 57cent dollar a few weeks ago and now have a 59cent dollar. “What will you do with the additional 2 cents?” a dozen persons-here-were-asked.
