y- Dow posts record drop at closing, but it wasn 't unexpected NEW YORK (AP) Nervous investors sent stocks reeling Monday on Wall Street's first day of trading since the terrorist attacks. The Dow suffered its biggest one-day point drop and closed below 9,000 for the first time in more, than 2'A years. The resumption of trading on a floor still smelling heavily of acrid smoke ended the stock market's longest shutdown since the Depression. The Dow ended the day down 684.81 points at 8,920.70, according to preliminary calculations. Its previous record for a one-day drop was 617.78, set April 14, 2000.

The Nasdaq fell 115.83 points to 1,579.55, and the broader Standard Poor's 500 index was down 53.77 at 1,038.77. Still, in percentage terms the drop in the Dow was only a third as big as the 1987 crash. Both the Dow and the Nasdaq were off about 7 percent. By comparison, the Dow dropped more than 22 percent when it lost 508 points in the crash of 1987. Even before last week, the market had been hurting because of the sluggish economy.

But the terrorist attacks dealt a punishing blow, particularly to airlines, which have been forced to cut back service and lay off tens of thousands of employees because a fear of flying has reduced bookings. The Federal Reserve, hoping to boost the economy and the market's confidence, cut interest rates by a half-point just an hour before trading began. It was the eighth rate cut so far this year.

"I would prefer Macon County, a large county in Central Illinois, to be more compact and in one Senate district. That was obviously not the intent." REMAPA5 The proposal, unveiled late Monday afternoon, is designed to increase the chances for the maximum number of Democratic victories in next year's House and Senate elections. Macon County is now represented by state Sen. N.

Duane Noland, R-Blue Mound. Under the plan prepared by legislative Democrats, Noland's home would be in a district that shifts Decatur, would go into a district that includes state Sen. Frank Watson, R-Greenville. That district would take in parts of Macon, Bond, Clinton, Effingham, Fayette, Moultrie, and Shelby counties and include sections of Madison and St. Clair counties near East St.

His new district would take in parts of Macon, Christian, DeVVitt, Logan, McLean, Sangamon and Tazewell counties. It would include most of Bloomington-Normal and extend as far west as the outskirts of Springfield.
