(E.S.T.), TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1994 PRODUCER PRICE INDEXES -- NOVEMBER 1994 The Producer Price Index for finished goods increased 0.5 percent in November, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. S. Department of Labor reported today. This increase followed declines of 0.5 percent in both September and October. Prices received by domestic producers of intermediate goods advanced 1.1 percent, the largest monthly increase since October 1990 when it rose 1.4 percent. Crude material prices climbed 1.0 percent, after falling in each of the 4 previous months. (See table A.) Among finished goods, the index for finished energy goods rose 2.1 percent in November and the index for finished consumer foods turned up 0.2 percent. Both indexes had declined in each of the prior 2 months. The index for finished goods less foods and energy inched up 0.1 percent after decreasing 0.5 percent in October. Table A.

BLS will switch from the Bureau of the Census' X-11 program to a new system for calculating its Commodity and Stage-of-Processing indexes. This new system will improve our data production capabilities and modernize our basic methods of seasonal adjustment. Central to this change will be Statistics Canada's X-11ARIMA/88 software (Dagum 1988) for seasonal adjustment. To receive a summary report on the new methodology, please contact our Branch of Information and Analysis at 202-606-7708. Table 1.
