(E.D.T.), THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1994 PRODUCER PRICE INDEXES--APRIL 1994 The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods moved down 0.1 percent seasonally adjusted from March to April, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. S. Department of Labor reported today. This decline followed a 0.2 percent rise in March and an advance of 0.5 percent in February. The Intermediate Goods Price Index showed no change in April following a 0.2 percent increase a month earlier. Prices received by domestic producers of crude goods fell 0.5 percent over the month after climbing 2.8 percent in March. (See table A.) Among finished goods, consumer food prices turned down following a March increase. The index for finished energy goods eased down slightly after remaining unchanged in the preceding month. Prices for finished goods other than foods and energy edged up 0.1 percent following a 0.2 percent rise in March. Table A.

From April 1993 to April 1994, the Finished Goods Price Index moved down 0.4 percent. During this same period, consumer food prices moved up 0.4 percent, the finished energy goods index dropped 3.7 percent, and prices for finished goods other than foods and energy inched up 0.1 percent. Prices received by domestic producers of intermediate goods rose 0.4 percent from April 1993 to April 1994, and the Crude Goods Price Index was up 0.5 percent over the last 12 months. Finished goods The Producer Price Index for finished consumer foods decreased 0.5 percent seasonally adjusted in April in the wake of an increase of the same magnitude in the month before. Prices for fresh and dry vegetables, beef and veal, chicken eggs, fish, processed chickens, and fresh fruits and melons turned down in April after increasing a month earlier. Pork prices, however, fell only half as much as in March, and indexes for shortening and cooking oils, pasta, soft drinks, and processed turkeys turned up following March declines. Table B.

The Producer Price Index for the net output of total domestic mining industries fell 1.2 percent in April following an 8.4 percent increase in March. (Net output price indexes are not seasonally adjusted.) In April, prices for the oil and gas extraction industry group turned down 1.6 percent after climbing 12.5 percent a month earlier. Prices for the metal mining industry group turned down slightly after rising in March, and prices for anthracite mining turned down after 3 months of no change. In contrast, the index for the nonmetallic minerals mining industry group moved up after showing no change in the previous month. Prices for the bituminous coal and lignite mining industry declined, but somewhat less than in either of the previous 2 months. In April, the Producer Price Index for total mining industries stood at 75.1 (December 1984=100), 1.3 percent lower than a year earlier. Manufacturing.
