Wall and Main Streets Business Corner For complete stock market details, read The Daily News, regularly -Sylvia PorterLittle Trade-Down Is Left in Staples NEW YORK How far can the millions of poor in America trade down in food in an era of galloping "staple While you may be spending the national "average" of only 16 per cent of your after-tax income on food, what about the family already spending 30 to 50 per cent of its income on food and facing quantum jumps in the prices of those high-protein basics at the very bottom of the food ladder? What's below the bottom? In the past year, according to latest official figures, the cost of food at home has risen almost 20 per cent. But in the same period, the average price of a five-pound bag of flour has soared 60 per cent; a threepound can of shortening has jumped 64 per cent; a 10-pound bag of potatoes, 60 per cent; bread, 34 per cent; a pound of dried beans, 182 per cent; a pound of rice, 103 per cent; a half-gallon of milk, 27 per cent; a dozen large eggs, 29 per cent; a pound of turkey, 35 per cent; pound cheese, 30 per cent. And so it goes. As meat prices skyrocketed in 1973, millions traded down from steaks to stew, hamburger, fish and chicken; from stew and hamburger to milk, cheese, rice and beans. But by SO doing, we intensified an already powerful price rise among these "bottom rung" basics.

Bean prices were rising before our demands spurted because of production cutbacks by farmers discouraged by low bean prices in previous years. The price of rice took off in response to enormous exports by the U. S. last year and a huge gift of rice to South Vietnam to use as currency in exchange for money to support the South Vietnamese army. Increases in prices of milk, turkey and eggs are tied to increases in the costs of feed grains.

As a result, a pound of dried beans is becoming almost as expensive as a pound of hamburger and, reports one food processor, it's now more costly to produce a can of chili and beans than it is to produce a can of chili and beef! And that's only part of the staple inflation tale, for prices also have been soaring for oth- Livestock HOGS Early estimates 1200. Tradins. moderately active.

(Somewhat surprisingly, though, the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not price these items for its monthly reports.) Where does the low-income family which has been leaning more and more heavily on spaghetti, beans, cheese, rice and the like turn now? Among the few items left to trade down to is peanut butter. But peanut butter costs an average of more than 75c a pound at latest official reporting date, hardly a bargain anymore. Another is tuna fish. But tuna fish is also up 19 per cent from a year ago and is moving rapidly out of the bargain category. Our Secretary of Agriculture's memorable advice a while back to "eat less" is fine for the overweight, overfed middle-income American-and indeed, in 1973, our national per capital food consumption dropped 2 per cent white our consumption of meat fell sharply for the first time in decades (7 per cent).

Welcome as this may be for our overfed, it's hardly practical advice for the family already on a grossly inadequate diet, already buying at the bottom of the food ladder and facing along with the rest of us inescapable increases in the costs of clothing, shelter, transportation, other absolute necessities. The diets of most of the one in five Americans who now qualify for food 1 stamps are widely considered nutritionally deficient. Where does this family turn except to more malnutrition or more help via food stamps? Still to come, I suppose, is the money-saving advice: "Eat dog food." However, pet food sales are zooming, and in lowincome areas sales are now far exceeding the amounts which could be consumed by their animal populations. By one recent estimate, one-third of the dog and cat food being bought in ghettoes is consumed by people. And, notes a report on food price changes by the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs, advertising by pet food manufacturers has appeared to be "more and more directed at possible human consumers." (P.

S. The American Assn. for the Advancement of Science predicts food price increases of 20 to 30 per cent a year for the remainder of the century because of surging energy costs and an over-all price spiral of 600 per cent over the next four decades.)
