NEW YORK - Consumer confidence fell in January for the second
straight month, largely because Americans feel less optimistic about the job
front and any increases in their incomes, a private research group reported
Tuesday.

The New York-based Conference Board (news -
web sites) said its Consumer Confidence Index
dropped to 79 from a revised
80.7 in December. Analysts had been
expecting a bigger decline in the index to a
reading of 78.5 for January.

"Overall readings continue to reflect the
country's lackluster economic activity," said
Lynn Franco, director of the Conference Board's
Consumer Research Center. "Now, with the
threat of war looming, consumers have grown
increasingly cautious about the short-term
outlook."
