WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Industrial production slipped in January on declines in manufacturing and mining output, after the Federal Reserve found the final two months of last year were stronger than initially estimated. Industrial production slipped 0.1% in January, the Fed said, after gains of 1.4% in November and 0.4% in December. The Fed had initially estimated gains of 1% in November and 0.3% in December. Economists polled by MarketWatch had forecast a 0.2% pick-up in January output. Capacity utilization also fell in January, to 79.1% from an upwardly revised 79.3% in December.
