Dow Jones News
Shares of manufacturing and transportation companies rose as
traders took heart from a strong round of earnings reports this
past week. United Parcel Service was more or less flat after the
package-delivery giant posted third-quarter growth, fueled by an
increase in package shipments both in the U.S. and abroad and
increased domestic business-to-business deliveries. The
business-to-business activity was interpreted as a good portent for
the U.S. economy.
