Report points to narrow miss of recession; manufacturing stil
NEW YORK (AP) — A key
gauge of future economic activity
rebounded in July after hinting at a
recession in the months ahead.But
manufacturing remained in the
doldrums last month.
Altogether, three reports, includ
ing one showing construction
spending reaching a record high in
July, painted a picture Tuesday of an
economy continuing to grow slowly
after its sizzling pace early this year.
“We are barely going to avoid a
recession, but perhaps not much
more than that,” said Sung Won
Sohn, chief economist at Norwest
Corp. in Minneapolis.
The reports were prepared before
the latest upheaval on Wall Street.
The Dow fell more than 500 points
on Monday, wiping out this year’s
gains. Some fear the downturn could
lead people to curb their spending,
tipping the economy into recession.
President Clinton, speaking dur
ing a visit to Moscow, sought to calm
American investors unnerved by the
turmoil roiling global markets.
“We believe our fundamental
economic policy is sound,” he said.
The Conference Board, a private
research group, reported its Index of
Leading Economic Indicators gained
0.4 percent in July, reversing two
months of declines that had raised
the specter of a downturn coming.
The index advanced to 105.4 in
July, well ahead of expectations.
“There is little risk of recession
in the near term,” the board said in
Seasonally adjusted inde'
1992 = 100
a statement.
Separately, the National Associa
tion of Purchasing Management re
ported its index of business activity
rose slightly in August, but not
enough to indicate the manufactur
ing sector is expanding. The reading
stood at 49.4 percent, marking the
third straight month the measure
was under 50 percent, a sign of con
traction in the industrial sector.
The overall economy, mean
while, grew for the 88th month in
a row, according to the survey of
corporate purchasing executives.
The indicator is usually the first
showing of how the economy per
formed in the previous month.

Earl projected as next hurrici
terling C. E
MIAMI (AP) — TYopical Storm
Earl strengthened rapidly Tuesday
and was expected to become the
season’s third hurricane as it
moved on a track toward the U.S.
Gulf Coast.
The storm’s clouds filled the
gulf and one computer model
projected “explosive intensifica
tion,’’ the National Hurricane
Center said.
“It’s getting better organized per
minute,” said forecaster Lixion Avi
la at the hurricane center in Miami.
“How intense it’s going to be, i
don’t know. ... This is in the devel
oping stage at the present time.”
By late morning Tuesday, the
storm’s highest sustained wind
was blowing at 60 mph, up from 40
mph late Monday. Its center was
about 350 miles south-southwest of
New Orleans and it was moving
north at 6 mph.
Earl was expected to build into
a hurricane by late 'TUesday or to
day and could come ashore Friday
with 90 mph wind. It was expect
ed to hit land somewhere from
Texas to the Florida Panhandle,
with the likeliest striking point near
New Iberia, La., meteorologists
said. But no watches or warnings
were immediately posted.
Just last week, TYopical Storm
Charley ran ashore in Texas, causing
flooding that was blamed for at least
19 deaths there and in Mexico.
Elsewhere, a tropical storm
watch was posted for Bermuda as
Hurricane Danielle rolled across
the Atlantic with 100-mph wind.
