NEW YORK - U.S. stocks
gave up large gains and fin-
ished barely higher Friday.
Banks and technology com-
panies traded higher, while
stocks that pay large divi-
dends fell thanks to a jump in
bond yields.
Stocks were on track for
large gains early in the day
as reports showed consumers
in both the U.S, and China
appeared to be spending
more. Banks rose after JPM-
organ Chase and Citigroup
disclosed solid quarterly
results. But the gains faded
as the day wore on. Drug
company stocks continued
to fall and energy companies
slipped.
“The retail sales numbers
on the surface looked pret-
ty good but when you dig
into them they were not that
great,” said Mike Baele, man-
aging director at U.S. Bank’s
Private Client Reserve. “It
seems like every good report

POSTSCRIPT
Bob Dylan on Thursday
received the Nobel Prize for
literature, setting off a bit of
a controversy over whether a
rocker is deserving. As far as
a singer, Dylan’s always been
a bit of an acquired taste,
but his writing is right there
with the all-time greats. He
produced a career’s worth
of classics on “Highway 61
Revisited,” one of my favor-
ites that’s now 51 years old.
Another is “Oh Mercy,” a
1989 release that doesn’t
receive a lot of attention.

MOUNT ENTERPRISE -
The building housing offices and
equipment of the Mount Enter-
prise Progress remained closed
up tightly for roughly 20 years.
When finally reopened in
2012, inside was a time capsule of
sorts, preserving a snapshot of a
bygone era in publishing.

the Compton family that owned
and published the weekly newspa-
per in Mount Enterprise for more
than 70 years, spent summer days
and holidays around that office.
