Yesterday, Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW) posted operating revenues for the three months ended Aug 31. Operating revenues decreased 21% year over year primarily due to a 19% fall in base revenues and a 7% decline in contributions from currency translation.   Based on the ongoing contributions from restructuring activities and improvements in discrete end markets such as automotive and construction, the company raised its earnings forecast range for the third quarter.
