bank.

U.S. declined 0.6% to an annual rate of 618,000 in Feb 2018 from an
upwardly revised 622,000 in Jan 2018. The decrease in new home sales
was due to a sharp decline in sales in the West by 17.6% and 3.7%
decline in Midwest. However, new home sales in the South and
Northeast rose 9.0% and 19.4%, respectively.

transportation equipment.
