Wal-Mart weighs on Dow; Stocks close mixed Wall Street NEW YORK (AP) — stores and other shoppers return to more expensive stores. Wal-Mart dropped 1.6 percent and was the weakest company among the 30 that make up the Dow Jones industrial aver- age.

Republicans and 384-1563 WE ACCEPT FOOD STAMPS NO CARDS REQUIRED FOR EVERYDAY LOW PRICING OR SALE ITEMS Democrats have sparred over how much spending to cut. The worry is that slashing spending could imperil the economic recovery. Bond prices held steady after details of the budget proposal were revealed. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Trea- sury note edged down to 3.62 percent, slightly lower than late Friday. A jump in Treasury bond yields would suggest that investors see U.S. debt as increasingly risky. MGM Resorts Interna- tional Inc. fell 3 percent after reporting a loss of $139 million last quarter, a little narrower than ana- lysts had expected. The Dow fell 5.07 points, or less than 0.1 percent, to 12,268.19. That’s just the second time the Dow closed lower so far in February. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 3.17 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,332.32. The Nasdaq composite gained 7.74 points, or 0.3 percent, to 2,817.18. Stocks ended last week with a slight gain after the resignation of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.
