(July 1)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] Wall Street began the third quarter with an erratic session Tuesday. As a mix of news made it clear the country is still knee-deep in economic problems, some positive trends emerged, including better than expected sales for General Motors and strong exports for U.S. factories. The Dow Jones industrial average - down more than 150 points earlier in the day - rose 32 points to 11,382. The Standard&Poor's 500 index rose 4.91, or 0.38 percent, to 1,285. The Nasdaq composite gained 12, to 2,305. Oil rose 97 cents to settle at a new record of $140.97 a barrel as worries about tight supply and mounting tensions in the Middle East continued. [Notes:SOT: Ray Carbone, President Paramount Options]Meanwhile, worries about personal investments had many expressing concern about the stability of the economy. [Notes:MOSMOS]Prices rose early in the session, then turned sharply lower for much of the day before recovering late in the session. The uneven performance wasn't surprising _ some bargain hunting was to be expected after a dismal first half, and in particular, a dismal June. ___ ___, The Associated Press.(****END****) less
