WALL STREET

Stocks fall for third day

NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market ended a down week with light selling as investors grew uneasy about a rising dollar and spiking demand for the safest government debt.

After two strong weeks, investors tried unsuccessfully to extend the market’s rally after major stock indexes closed at 13-month highs on Tuesday. Disappointing reports on housing and worries about flagging demand at technology companies sapped strength from the market’s eight-month rally.

The Dow Jones industrial average slipped 14.28 to 10,318.16 and ended the week with a 0.5 percent gain but broader indexes slid.
