		<description><![CDATA[W.W. Grainger, Inc. (GWW) completed its tender offer bid in Japan for 380,000 shares of MonotaRO Co., Ltd., a Japanese company, at a price of 1,010 yen ($11.11) per common share. With the completion of this transaction, Grainger has become a 53% majority owner of MonotaRO, a direct marketer of maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) supplies to businesses in Japan. In June, Grainger first announced its plans to increase its stake in MonotaRO with an investment of approximately $4 million. MonotaRO started as a joint venture between Grainger and Sumitomo Corp. in 2000 to supply MRO products in Japan, the second largest industrial market in the world.

		<description><![CDATA[W.W. Grainger Inc.’s (GWW) sales for the month of August were down 13% compared to last year. This was slightly narrower compared to the 14% decline in July. The company continues to witness weak demand in all its end-markets and geographies. The economic slowdown is driving Grainger’s customers to idle or close facilities and delay purchases, thereby affecting the company’s top-line growth. Grainger witnessed a 14% decline in U.S. sales, same as in July. Sales were down in all the end-markets. After increasing marginally in the second quarter, sales to the government segment declined in single digits in the first two months of the third quarter, reflecting weakness among state agencies owing to budget cuts. In the Canadian (Acklands-Grainger) division, sales were down 8%, an improvement compared to the 19% ]]></description>
