Conference Board sees consumer confidence, but not as much as past 2 months

NEW YORK (AP) -- A private research group says its gauge of future economic activity rose a slim 0.1 percent in January, significantly slower than in recent months.

Still, the rise in the Conference Board's index of leading economic indicators was the seventh consecutive monthly advance.
But It was slower than the 0.8 percent rise in December and a 1.1 percent increase in November. Those had been the biggest increases since March.
