If you are the highest bid- der at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien be- ing auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priori- ty, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county re- corder's office or a title insur- ance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this in- formation.

Call 527-2151 Website: redbluffdailynews.com E-Mail: advertise@redbluffdailynews.com Stocks rise as US manufacturing expands NEW YORK (AP) — The pendulum swung again for stocks on Thursday. The stock market got a boost on Thursday from a couple of encouraging signs that the economy could pick up after a winter slump. That wiped out a drop from the day before trig- gering by some unnerving news from the Federal Reserve. Manufacturing in the U.S. expanded at the fastest pace in almost four years in February, according to a private survey by Markit. In a separate report, the Conference Board said that its index of leading indicators posted a moderate gain in Janu- ary, suggesting that the econo- my will continue to expand in the first half of the year. ''Today's market is reflect- ing the fact that the economy has gone through the doldrums due to the weather and we should now see a substantial pickup,'' said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 11.03 points, or 0.6 percent, to 1,839.78. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 92.67 points, or 0.6 percent, to 16,133.23. The Dow fell 89 points Wednesday after min- utes from the Fed's latest meet- ing showed that a few policy- makers raised the possibility that an increase in interest rates should come ''relatively soon.'' The Nasdaq composite climbed 29.59 points, or 0.7 percent, to 4,267.55. The stock market is now close to erasing all of its losses after a volatile start to the year. Concerns about slowing growth in China and other emerging markets, as well as worries about the health of the U.S. economy, had pushed the S&P 500 down almost six per- cent for the year by the start of February. Among individual stocks, Safeway rose after the grocer said it was in talks to put itself up for sale. The grocer's stock climbed 71 cents, or 2.1 per- cent, to $35.32 after the compa- ny said late Wednesday that discussions are ongoing but that it hasn't yet reached an agreement on a transaction. Tesla Motors was also another winner after posting strong earnings and forecasting a sharp rise in sales this year. Tesla's stock jumped $16.33, or 8.4 percent, to $209.97. Stocks moved between small gains and losses in the first hour of trading as investors weighed the data from the U.S. against a survey that showed manufacturing in China con- tracted for a second straight month in February. Data showing weakness in China's manufacturing sector had pushed stocks lower in Jan- uary, but on Thursday investors decided to focus on the positive news out of the U.S., and by late morning stocks moved decisively higher. The S&P 500 ended the day nine points short of its record high of 1,848.38 set Jan. 15. After a surge of almost 30 percent in the S&P 500 in 2013, the market has become more volatile this year. Given those strong gains, the market will struggle to climb much further this year, said Tom Karsten, an investment adviser at Karsten Advisors. ''While we may see contin- ued economic growth, I don't think that it's powerful enough to justify that there would real- ly be much upward possibility for equity prices,'' said Karsten. Among the day's losers were Wal-Mart and oil and gas company Denbury. Wal Mart's stock fell $1.33, or 1.8 percent, to $73.52 after it offered a weak profit outlook, signaling that it expects eco- nomic pressures to keep weigh- ing on its low-income shoppers around the world. The world's largest retailer also said Thurs- day that its fourth-quarter prof- it, which covers the crucial hol- iday season, dropped 21 per- cent. Energy company Denbury Resources fell 24 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $15.95 after it post- ed earnings that fell short of the expectations of Wall Street ana- lysts. The company also said that its 2014 production would likely be at the lower end of its expectations. In government bond trading, the yield on the 10-year note rose to 2.75 percent from 2.74 percent on Wednesday. The price of oil fell 39 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $102.92. The price of gold fell $3.50, or 0.3 per- cent, to $1,316.90 an ounce. Wall Street To raise or not to raise wages? NEW YORK (AP) — Gap's decision this week to raise the hourly wages of workers at its stores nationwide puts pressure on other major U.S. retail- ers to do the same. Following Gap's announcement that it will set the minimum wage for workers at $9 an hour this year and $10 an hour in 2015, big store chains from Wal-Mart to Sears said Thursday that they will con- tinue to evaluate their wages. But ultimately, industry watchers say whether they follow Gap's move will depend greatly on whether or not they feel they need to in order to remain competitive. ''I think more people will wait on the sidelines and not take on additional expenses,'' said Ken Perkins, president of RetailMetrics, a retail research firm. ''It's a gamble on Gap's part.'' Gap's move comes at a time when the plight of hourly workers has made headlines. Protests by fast food workers asking for higher pay last year in cities across the country made headlines. Several states are considering raising their minimum wages. And President Barack Obama is endorsing a bill in Con- gress that includes a proposed increase in the feder- al minimum wage to $10.10 an hour by 2016. There's no question that whatever the major players in the U.S. retail industry decide to do will have a big impact on the job market. In fact, the industry supports one in every four U.S. jobs, repre- senting about 42 million workers. Still, the industry has mostly shunned the idea of higher wages. The National Retail Federation, which represents some of the nation's largest retail- ers, is fighting President Obama's proposal, saying the financial burden could force them to raise prices or reduce workforce. Indeed, the decision to raise wages is a com- plex one for stores. The industry is built on a busi- ness model that keeps costs low, including those for labor. Stores want to make a profit, but in order to stay competitive, experts say retailers have to offer U.S. shoppers the low prices they demand. But keeping prices low and profits high is a con- stant juggling act, especially during a down econ- omy. In fact, retailers just wrapped up an abysmal hol- iday shopping season. Earnings for the fourth quar- ter, which covered the holiday shopping season, are expected to be down 5 percent compared with a year ago — the worst since the second quarter of 2009 when that figure was down 6.7 percent, according to RetailMetrics' tally of 122 stores. Gap Inc. has been one of the bright spots in the clothing industry, enjoying a sales turnaround that started in early 2012. The company owns the Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic and Athleta chains and employs 90,000 hourly and salaried workers in the U.S. The nation's largest clothing chain declined to give an average wage for its employees, but said that the vast majority earn more than the federal mini- mum wage. The company said the raise will affect 65,000 hourly workers. Gap declined to comment on how much the pay hike will cost it, but said there are no plans for cuts in jobs or store hours or increases in prices to cover the costs. Nancy Green, general manager of Gap's Athleta brand, told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday that she believes some competitors can't afford to do raise wages, but ''others will be inspired.'' So far, though, rivals don't seem inspired. Target Corp.'s spokeswoman Molly Snyder declined to comment on the average pay for a Target hourly worker, but said in an email it's ''considering how best to balance the needs of working Americans while maintaining a healthy business environment conducive to job creation.'' Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the nation's largest private employer with 1.3 million U.S. workers, said Thurs- day that less than one percent of its workforce is paid minimum wage. It said its average wage for both full- and part-time hourly workers is nearly $12 an hour. ''Our wages are determined on a market by mar- ket basis and we continually look at them in order to remain competitive,'' said David Tovar, a Wal-Mart spokesman. Sears Holdings Inc., which operates Kmart and Sears, also said while it offers ''competitive com- pensation packages,'' it plans to ''continually moni- tor and evaluate our pay and benefit programs in light of business and market conditions.'' Philly-area sports bar to pay $8M in back wages PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A popular sports bar chain will shell out about $8.5 million to com- pensate employees for failing to pay them minimum wage and improperly keeping a portion of their tips, federal officials and the company said Thursday. Chickie's and Pete's agreed to repay $6.8 million in back wages and damages to more than 1,100 current or former workers in a settlement described by the U.S. Labor Department as the largest wage-and-tip violation case in agency history. Separately, the restaurant announced it would spend nearly $1.7 million to settle private law- suits with about 90 other employ- ees who alleged unfair pay prac- tices. ''Our employees are the back- bone of our company, and they deserve our respect and apprecia- tion,'' owner Pete Ciarrocchi Jr. said in a statement. ''We believe these settlements are in their best interests.'' The Labor Department began a yearlong probe of the Philadel- phia-area eateries in November 2012.
