The Troy based company will close underperforming stores. About 700 stores may shutter as it reorganizes with 2 billion in financing and aims to emerge in 2003.

The Dow slipped 13.98 to 9,699.82 while the S&P 500 rose 4.50 to 1,123.81 and the Nasdaq gained 19.53 to 1,902.06. Novellus rose after beating estimates. SAP AG forecast a 2002 gain. Pfizer met expectations. Microsoft slid on AOL Time Warner antitrust suit claims, and AOL Time Warner fell. Local stock quotes and grain prices were listed for several firms and commodities.
