1/ Indexes in this table are derived from the net-output-weighted industry price indexes.  Because of differences 
   in coverage and aggregation methodology, they will generally not match the movements of similarly titled
   indexes which are derived from traditional commodity groupings.           
2/ The indexes for April 2004 have been recalculated to incorporate late reports and corrections by respondents.   
   All indexes are subject to revision 4 months after original publication.
