14/09/05NYSE equities down on economic dataThe New York equities markets were down on the day Wednesday as new government data revealed slower than expected retail sales and weak industrial production numbers. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.5 percent to 10,544.90, the Nasdaq composite was down 1 percent to 2,149.33, and the S&P 500 lost 0.3 percent to 1,227.16.

Elsewhere, internet search engine Google was to begin selling $4.4 billion in new shares, with the goal of building a fund that might be used on new acquisitions, after the close of the trading day.
