Markets tumble as Dow slips amid three day correction

New York stocks fell for a third straight session, the Dow Jones industrial average dropping to 956.24 as trading remained active with 14 million shares changing hands. The gain in industrials contrasted with declines in rails and utilities, while the AP average slipped to 355.9. Analysts called the move a corrective step toward potentially renewing the push toward Dow 1000.
