The following is an excerpt:

NEW YORK (Reuters) - "U.S. manufacturing contracted slightly in September
for the first time in eight months, a report said on Tuesday, signaling the
stagnation that spread across the nation's factories this summer is persisting.


Manufacturing executives said they were worried
about the impact on business of higher energy costs
and a possible U.S. war on Iraq. Desperate to
salvage profits, they fired more workers, extending a
two-year trend

The Institute for Supply Management said its index
of business conditions in factories, the first major
monthly read on the U.S. economy, fell in
September to 49.5 from 50.5 in both August and
July."
