U.S mfg sector backlog of orders see significant improvement Ian: Hope this helps the trade deficit a bit in 1999. ================================= NEW YORK, May 3 (Reuters) - The National Association of Purchasing Management (NAPM) on Monday said economic activity in the manufacturing sector grew for the third consecutive month in April, but at a slower pace. NAPM's April index of manufacturing activity fell to 52.8 from a reading of 54.3 in March. A reading above 50 suggests growth within the manufacturing sector, while a sub-50 level implies contraction, NAPM said. ''NAPM's Backlog of Orders Index has strengthened significantly in the last three months and should help drive activity in May and June,'' the report said. A listing of the main NAPM components follows: Apr Mar Feb Jan Dec Nov Oct Sept Aug PMI 52.8 54.3 52.4 49.5 45.3 46.8 48.3 49.4 49.4 Production 57.6 59.6 56.9 53.1 46.8 48.6 52.6 53.4 50.3 New Orders 54.8 58.2 57.2 51.3 46.4 45.5 45.7 50.1 50.9 Supplier Del 49.4 52.5 50.6 50.9 48.7 50.2 50.0 51.5 50.6 Inventories 46.6 44.6 44.2 42.3 41.9 44.9 49.8 42.3 45.3 Employment 49.5 48.0 45.0 44.8 40.9 44.9 45.0 45.5 46.9 Prices 49.9 43.2 35.9 32.5 31.1 35.0 35.8 34.4 38.4 Export Orders 51.6 51.7 54.0 49.8 44.7 42.9 42.0 45.8 44.1 Imports 53.4 55.3 52.3 49.4 49.9 49.2 51.2 53.1 51.4
