WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - Manufacturing activity in the New York area continued to expand in October, but at a slower pace than the previous month, the New York Federal Reserve Bank said Friday.

The Empire State manufacturing index fell to 17.4 in October from a revised 27.3 in September.

The drop was larger than expected.

Economists had expected the index to fall to 24.9 in October from the initial estimate of 28.3.

Readings over zero indicate economic expansion.

Conditions continued to improve for New York manufacturers, but the pace of growth over the past three months has been slower than over the past year, the New York Fed said.

While improved conditions were reported by 40 percent of the firms surveyed, 23 percent said that conditions had worsened, up from 14 percent in September.

The new orders index slipped lower to 21.2 in October from 26.2 in September, while shipments fell to 19.1from 32.1.

The unfilled orders index fell to -2.7 from 11.7 in September.

The employment index fell to 17.7 from 20.3 while the workweek index fell sharply to 4.9 from 17.3.

The prices paid index rose to a record 59.2 in October from 52.0 in the previous month.

The prices received index fell to 15.0 from 16.3.

The Empire State index is of interest to traders primarily because it's seen as an early forecast of the national Institute for Supply management survey due out in two weeks. In September, the ISM fell to 58.5 percent.
