U.S. industry operated at a slightly faster pace in October than previously reported, while output fell 0.8%, according to revised data issued by the Federal Reserve.

The Fed said industrial capacity in use was 75.4% in October, a small upward revision from the 75.2% that had been reported initially. The 0.8% drop in production was unrevised.

September output at factories, mines and utilities was flat in the new figures, instead of the previously reported decline of 0.2%.
