Americans were buying more cars, home furnishings and back-to-school supplies in August, the Commerce Department said Wednesday, as sales rose 0.8 percent after remaining un changed the previous month. Analysts said the buying binge was spurred by job growth and there is still steam left in a consumer-driven expansion. “The report is really quite positive for the economy,” said economist Lynn Reaser of First Interstate Bancorp in Los Angeles. “The con sumer has definitely not stalled out.” “The economy has nine lives, and -i maybe there are a couple of more to go,” said Sung Won Sohn of Norwest Corp. in Minneapolis. The outlook was bolstered by a Federal Reserve survey of business conditions around the country. “Economic activity continued to expand through the summer,” the report said. “Regions that have been lagging are generally said to be doing better while most of the stronger ar eas saw growth plateau.” The survey by the Fed’s 12 re gional banks found that higher inter est rates are having an impact, par ticularly in slowing home building. But the so-called beige book report said consumer spending, while slower, still remains strong, and re tailers look forward to a good year end holiday buying season beginning around Thanksgiving. The Fed, which has boosted short term interest rates five times since February to check inflation, sounded fairly optimistic about price stability. “There are more reports of tight ening labor markets than before, though wage pressures are still de scribed as modest,” the beige book said. “This August performance is good news for the economy in the third quarter The fundamentals of this expansion remain sound. ” ■ RON BROWN Commerce Secretary Analysts said they still expect the Fed to raise interest rates, but not until its next post-election meeting in November. While the growth in retail sales was expected, analysts said the breadth of the surge is noteworthy. Ironically, some economists said, rising interest rates that are hurting the housing market may be helping sales of home furnishings and build ing supplies. “Higher mortgage rates are prob ably stimulating home remodeling as an alternative to buying a home,” said Bruce Steinberg of Merrill Lynch & Co. The Commerce Department said August sales totaled a seasonally ad justed $186.6 billion, up from a re vised $185.1 billion in July. The July figure originally was estimated to be $184.8 billion. “This August performance is good news for the economy in the third quarter,” said Commerce Secretary Ron Brown. “The fundamentals of this expansion remain sound.” Retail sales posted a 0.9 percent increase in June after holding steady in May and falling 1 percent in April. Analysts said the uneven pattern sug gests consumer spending is leveling off but still growing moderately. U.S. forces ready to invade Haiti WASHINGTON (AP)—No concrete deadline has been set by the United States for the re moval of Haiti’s military lead ership, but one could be estab lished in the coming days, De fense Secretary William Perry said today. The Pentagon chief also warned that U.S. forces will be in place to conduct an invasion of Haiti “very soon,” should such an action be ordered by Presi dent Clinton. Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan. ap pearing on CBS, agreed that “we’re going to support the troops if there is an invasion. But we certainly don’t support the policy.” mmmmmam.
