Market posts scattered gains on lower rates amid tobacco stock moves
New York stocks edged higher for a second straight session as rates declined. The Dow rose to 3290.70 after a 5.08 point gain, with 867 advances to 820 declines on the NYSE and 193.86 million shares traded. Durable goods orders fell 2.4 percent in May, tempering earnings hopes while easing long bond yields to about 7.83 percent as Philip Morris, RJR Nabisco, and American Brands reacted to a Supreme Court ruling allowing smokers to sue cigarette makers.
