New York stocks rose solidly as positive earnings reports and Greenspan’s encouraging comments boosted investor confidence.

Labor data showing payrolls fell and unemployment slipping to six months’ lows supported the market, though some firms like Bristol-Myers Squibb and others posted mixed results.
