Kansas economy slows as October index dips modestly
The Kansas Index of Leading Economic Indicators declined to 128.31 in October from 129.73 in September, signaling a slight slow down. Key negative factors were a drop in average weekly hours in manufacturing and wheat and stock prices, while M2 and cattle prices rose slightly and unemployment claims fell. Kansas State University compiles the index, using six state components and a U.S. M2 measure, with monthly figures for 1989 and a 1990 ASCS committee slate also noted.
