To: Gregory Mullineaux (144649 ) From: John Hauser Friday, Oct 15 1999 9:42AM ET Reply # of 144650 Pick this up on YHOO thread Behind the numbers reveals this important fact: Almost all of the rise was tobacco related.With out the tobacco and car price increases the Core rate was up just .01%!!!! GET a grip investors! Philip Morris Cos., the world's largest tobacco company, raised U.S. cigarette prices by 18 cents a pack effective Aug. 30. The 11 percent increase was aimed at boosting profit and paying for rising taxes and legal-settlement payments. No. 2 cigarette maker R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings Inc. said it raised its wholesale prices by the same amount. The price increases marked the sixth in the past 20 months. Passenger car prices rose 2 percent in September, the biggest increase since a 3 percent rise in September 1990. Excluding cars and tobacco, the PPI's core rate rose 0.1 percent. ''Car and truck sales were firm during the summer, and therefore, end-of-model-year discounting may have been limited in September,' said Michael Moran, chief economist at Daiwa Securities America Inc. in New York, before the report.
