MAJOR RELEASES

Industrial product and raw materials price indexes, March 2004
Manufacturers' prices were up 0.5% in March following an increase of 1.9% in February. Compared with March 2003, prices fell 1.4%, largely because of the effect of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar. Meanwhile, prices of raw materials increased 4.5% from February and were 1.4% higher than March 2003.

Business Conditions Survey: Manufacturing industries, April 2004 
Uncertainty seems to best describe manufacturers' confidence regarding the outlook for the second quarter of 2004. Although remaining positive, production prospects for the coming quarter were slightly lower and satisfaction with the current level of unfilled orders was less negative. However, manufacturers indicated more concern with lower levels of new orders and rising levels of finished product inventories.
