The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods increased 0.9 percent in
May, seasonally adjusted, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S.
Department of Labor reported today. This advance followed a 0.7-percent
rise in April and a 1.0-percent increase in March. The index for finished
goods excluding foods and energy moved up 0.2 percent in May after
remaining unchanged in April. At the earlier stages of processing, prices
received by producers of intermediate goods increased 1.1 percent in May
after advancing 0.9 percent a month earlier, and the crude goods index
turned up 2.0 percent following a decline of 1.5 percent in April. (See
