Summer rally myth deflated by market analysts
Financial experts across firms declare there will be no reliable summer rally in 1994. They note the Dow could dip or rise modestly through late September, with gains not tied to a seasonal pattern.

Color Tile owned by Louis Buntin of Olathe opened in Southwest Plaza Shopping Center at 23rd and Iowa, occupying about 5,000 square feet with two employees.

UtiliCorp sees mixed quarter results despite UtilCo boost
UtiliCorp United expects second quarter profits to fall to 6.8 million from 7.3 million in 1993 as warmer weather boosts electric operations but lowers gas earnings. Primary EPS should rise to 14 cents from 13. For the first six months of 1994 net income is seen at 45.8 million, up from 42.1 million, with EPS at 1.01 versus 0.97. UtilCo Group holds gas, coal and hydro interests and dividend policy remains intact with slower future increases.
