inflation rate OTTAWA CP Prices rose fourtenths of one per cent in August pushing the annual in flation rate up slightly to 84 per cent from 81 per cent month earlier Statistics Canada reported today The federal agency said the rise in prices in August was the smallest monthly increase this year mainly because of seasonal decline in food prices But despite the slower rise in prices in August the annual inflation rate rose slightly when combined with increases in the previous 11 months StatistiCS Canada said its monthly con sumer price index which measures the cost of basket of commonlypurchased goods and services row to 1928 in August from 192 in July year ago it stood at 1778 That means the consumer basket cost $19280 in August In 1971 it would have cost $100 Put another way the purchasing power of 1971 dollar in August was about 52 cents virtually unchanged from July down from 56 cents year earlier FOOD PRICES DROP Statistics Canada said food prices declined seventenths of one per cent in August after an increase of 17 per cent in July Seasonallylower prices for fresh vegetables which dropped nearly 21 per cent from July and for beef which declined 22 per cent were mainly responsible for the drop in the cost of food consumed at home The federal agency said however that these declines were offset by higher prices for fresh fruit especially apples and for some dairy and bakery products coffee and sugar 20¢ Per Copy the examiner serving barrie and Simcoe county With help from Le Cole second from right of Barrie Ma Hung and wife Sang Chung met with
