The 1.6% drop in mining output came after six months of gains, and output there is up 4.8% from the same period of 2012
Manufacturing output edged up 0.3%, the third straight rise, and was up 3.3% from a year ago Utilities output fell 1.1% but is up 0.2% from a year ago
Capacity utilization slipped to 78.1% from 78.3% in September and below the 78.2% seen in a MarketWatch-compiled economist poll
