Week in business shows pockets of activity amid downturn
Walter Breede Jr reports brighter spots in the national business picture. Residential activity remains steady, and retail sales rise with holiday promotions. Yet rails cut payrolls to lean levels after freight declines, while copper, zinc, and steel sectors curtail output. Textile and auto sectors show weakness, though gains in steel demand and Chevrolet Ford output appear.
