<<NEW YORK, Sept 8 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond

Here follows a breakdown of the Richmond Fed's monthly manufacturing

MANUFACTURING SURVEY August July June
Shipments -2 18 -3
New Orders 11 7 5
Backlog Orders 4 1 -14
Number of Employees -5 2 -2
Average Workweek -1 1 2

and prices paid are in response to the question: ''What do you believe

basis?''>>
