Wall Street Mixed At Midday As Trade Activity Slips
The New York stock market showed mixed results at midday with lighter volume than Thursday. The Dow Industrial Average fell to about 902.5, while the Associated Press index slid, reflecting jitters from Vietnam peace talks rumors, a March U.S. trade deficit, and higher housing costs. Major issues like McDonnell Douglas and Rayonier traded actively with varied moves, and gains clustered around Great American Industries and a few tech names amid broad softness.
