Ministers fanned out to areas scarred by the sudden flare-up of rioting, appealing for calm but also warning that the violence that injured scores of police and damaged nearly 100 public buildings wouldn’t be allowed to continue.

The four-week moving average of claims, which evens out some of the weekly fluctuations, rose by 1,500 to 257,500.Jobless claims applications are seen as representative of the number of layoff...
