America's gross domestic product expanded at a 2.7% annual rate in third quarter of this year, up from the 2% growth the Dept. of Commerce previously estimated.

Much of the increase resulted from an upward adjustment to inventory restocking.

But the Commerce Dept. lowered its estimate of third-quarter consumer spending to 1.4% from the previously reported 2% gain. The new figure marks the smallest advance in more than a year.
