CPI - up 0.1% in Jan..Possible profit squeeze on some retailers...? WASHINGTON - Americans paid more for oranges, airline tickets and cigarettes in January but declining prices for pork, clothing and used cars helped keep overall inflation mild. The Labor Department says the Consumer Price Index rose a seasonally adjusted 0.1% last month following an identical increase in December. A substantial 0.5% rise in January prices charged by producers such as factories, reported Thursday, apparently was not passed on to retail shoppers. In fact, sharper-than-usual discounting pushed clothing costs down by a seasonally adjusted 1.1%, the largest one-month drop in a decade. usatoday.com
