Average hourly wages in August grew by 7 cents to $12.86 — a faster pace than the 3cent increases recorded in each of the previous three months. The healthy rise in wages, which typically account ibr-two-thirds of a product's price, signaled that inflationary pressures remain and may keep the Fed from risking a rate cut. Financial companies took another beating amid worries about their loans to the crisisplagued economies in Asia and Russia. Chase Manhattan fell 3% to 45% and Citicorp fell 6 to 92M>.

The unit handles worldwide licensing for P&G's food and beverage, laundry and cleaning, paper, and beauty care businesses. A separate unit handles healthcare licensing. A lot of the technology P&G develops for its own use has other applications, or the company determines it doesn't want to enter the business the technology was developed for, said Stephen J. Baggott of the global-licensing unit. An example is FruitCal, also known as CCM or calcium-citratemalate. P&G developed it to add calcium to fruit juices. In 1992 P&G took Citrus Hill off the market and its now used only in Sunny Delight juice drink. So the company licensed FruitCal to Tropicana, a major fruitjuice company. "We secure additional return on a pre-existing technology, and our licensees win by having access to an outstanding technology on which the R&D investment has already been made," said Tom Minnick of the global-licensing unit.
