Wall St. Suffers Worst Day in Two Years
By MICHAEL J. MARTINEZ, AP Business Writer
NEW YORK -
Wall Street suffered its worst single day in nearly two years Friday,
with the Dow Jones industrial average falling 191 points for its third
straight triple-digit loss.
Deepening concerns over economic growth and higher prices led to the
worst week of trading since August.
An already uneasy market began the biggest one-day selloff since May
19, 2003, after the Federal Reserve reported drops in manufacturing
and other industrial production, and a Labor Department report showed
higher oil costs driving up import prices.
