1:The investment community , for one , has been anticipating a speedy resolution . 
2:`` The market has taken two views : that the labor situation will
get settled in the short term and that things look very rosy for
Boeing in the long term , '' said Howard Rubel , an analyst at Cyrus
J. Lawrence Inc .  
3:`` I would n't expect an immediate resolution to anything . '' 
4:In separate developments : -- Talks have broken off between
Machinists representatives at Lockheed Corp. and the Calabasas ,
Calif. , aerospace company .

6:The planes , long range versions of the medium-haul twin-jet , will
be delivered with Pratt & Whitney PW4060 engines .  
7:Martinair Holland is based in Amsterdam . 
8:`` The projects are big . 
9:Our long suit is our proven ability to operate '' power plants , he said . 
10:`` This is a real thrust on our utility side , '' he said , adding
that Canadian Utilities is also mulling projects in underdeveloped
countries , though he would be specific .  
11:Mr. Stram said Enron is considering building gas-fired power plants
in the U.K. capable of producing about 500 megawatts of power at a
cost of about $ 300 million to $ 400 million .  
12:PSE Inc. said it expects to report third earnings of $ 1.3 million

partnership subsidiary to buy land in California suitable for
residential development .  
17:The land to be purchased by the joint venture has n't yet received
zoning and other approvals required for development , and part of
Kaufman & Broad 's job will be to obtain such approvals .  
18:Typically , developers option property , and then once they get the
administrative approvals , they buy it , '' said Mr. Karatz , adding
that he believes the joint venture is the first of its kind .  
19:And if rain does n't fall soon across many of the Great Plains '
wheat-growing areas , yields in the crop now being planted could be
reduced , further squeezing supplies .  
20:That would be the lowest level since the early 1970s . 
21:The government estimates that the new plan will boost production
next year by about 66 million bushels .  
22:On the Chicago Board of Trade Friday , wheat for December delivery
settled at $ 4.0675 a bushel , unchanged .  
23:In July , the CBOT ordered Ferruzzi Finanziaria S.p . A. to
liquidate futures positions equal to about 23 million bushels of
soybeans .  
24:Unseasonably hot , dry weather across large portions of the Great
Plains and in wheat-growing areas in Washington and Oregon is
threatening to reduce the yield from this season 's winter wheat crop
, said Conrad Leslie , a futures analyst and head of Leslie Analytical
in Chicago .  
25:That figure climbs to about 47 % in wheat-growing portions of
Kansas , he said .  
26:Looking ahead to other commodity markets this week :

29:New York futures prices have dropped significantly from more than $

harvesting and processing of oranges in Florida reach their peak , the
analyst said .  
31:On the New York Mercantile Exchange , West Texas Intermediate crude

33:Many traders foresee a tightening of near-term supplies ,
particularly of high-quality crudes such as those produced in the
North Sea and in Nigeria .  
34:If a hostile predator emerges for Saatchi & Saatchi Co. ,
co-founders Charles and Maurice Saatchi will lead a management buy-out
attempt , an official close to the company said .  
35:Last week , Saatchi 's largest shareholder , Southeastern Asset
Management , said it had been approached by one or more third parties
interested in a possible restructuring .  
36:And Carl Spielvogel , chief executive officer of Saatchi 's big
Backer Spielvogel Bates advertising unit , said he had offered to lead
a management buy-out of the company , but was rebuffed by Charles
Saatchi .  
37:The executive said any buy-out would be led by the current board ,
whose chairman is Maurice Saatchi and whose strategic guiding force is
believed to be Charles Saatchi .  
38:The executive denied speculation that Saatchi was bringing in the
new chief executive officer only to clean up the company financially
so that the brothers could lead a buy-back .  
39:Asked about the speculation that Mr. Louis-Dreyfus has been hired
to pave the way for a buy-out by the brothers , the executive replied
, `` That is n't the reason Dreyfus has been brought in .  
40:`` It has n't had any impact on us , nor do we expect it to , ''
said a spokeswoman for Miller Brewing Co. , a major client of Backer
Spielvogel .  
41:Executives at Backer Spielvogel client Avis Inc. , as well as at
Saatchi client Philips Lighting Co. , also said they saw no effect .  
42:NEW ACCOUNT :

and a former employee , pleaded not guilty in federal court in New
Haven , Conn. , to conspiracy and racketeering charges .

50:Southmark Corp. said that it filed part of its 10-K report with the
Securities and Exchange Commission , but that the filing does n't
include its audited financial statements and related information .  
51:Southmark said it plans to amend its 10K to provide financial
results as soon as its audit is completed .  
52:Alan Seelenfreund , 52 years old , was named chairman of this
processor of prescription claims , succeeding Thomas W. Field Jr. , 55
, who resigned last month .  
53:Messrs. Malson and Seelenfreund are directors of McKesson , which
has an 86 % stake in PCS .  
54:MedChem Products Inc. said a U.S. District Court in Boston ruled
that a challenge by MedChem to the validity of a U.S. patent held by
Pharmacia Inc. was `` without merit . ''  
55:The patent is related to hyaluronic acid , a rooster-comb extract
used in eye surgery .  
56:MedChem said the court 's ruling was issued as part of a ``
first-phase trial '' in the patent-infringement proceedings and
concerns only one of its defenses in the case .  
57:MedChem said that the court scheduled a conference for next Monday
-- to set a date for proceedings on Pharmacia 's motion for a
preliminary injunction .  
58:Newspaper publishers are reporting mixed third-quarter results ,
aided by favorable newsprint prices and hampered by flat or declining
advertising linage , especially in the Northeast .  
59:Many papers throughout the country are also faced with a slowdown
in classified-ad spending , a booming category for newspapers in
recent years .  
60:`` Improved paper prices will help offset weakness in linage , but
the retailers ' problems have affected the amount of ad linage they
usually run , '' said Edward J. Atorino , industry analyst for Salomon
Brothers Inc .  
61:For instance , Gannett Co. posted an 11 % gain in net income , as
total ad pages dropped at USA Today , but advertising revenue rose
because of a higher circulation rate base and increased rates .  
62:Gannett 's 83 daily and 35 non-daily newspapers reported a 3 %
increase in advertising and circulation revenue .  
63:At Dow Jones & Co. , third-quarter net income fell 9.9 % from the
year-earlier period .  
64:Revenue gained 5.3 % to $ 404.1 million from $ 383.8 million . 
65:Ad linage at the Journal fell 6.1 % in the third quarter . 
66:William O. Taylor , the parent 's chairman and chief executive
officer , said earnings continued to be hurt by softness in ad volume
at the Boston newspaper .  
67:After a supply crunch caused prices to rise 14 % since 1986 to $
650 a metric ton , analysts are encouraged , because they do n't
expect a price increase for the rest of this year .  
68:`` Times Co. 's regional daily newspapers are holding up well , but
there is little sign that things will improve in the New York market ,
'' said Alan Kassan , an analyst with Shearson Lehman Hutton .  
69:According to analysts , profits were also helped by successful
cost-cutting measures at Newsweek .  
70:However , analysts point to positive advertising spending at
several of its major daily newspapers , such as the Miami Herald and
San Jose Mercury News .  
71:GM is under intense pressure to close factories that became
unprofitable as the giant auto maker 's U.S. market share skidded
during the past decade .  
72:Now , GM appears to be stepping up the pace of its factory
consolidation to get in shape for the 1990s .  
73:Against that backdrop , UAW Vice President Stephen P. Yokich , who
recently became head of the union 's GM department , issued a
statement Friday blasting GM 's `` flagrant insensitivity '' toward
union members .  
74:That means two plants -- one in Scarborough , Ontario , and the
other in Lordstown , Ohio -- probably will be shut down after the end
of 1991 .  
75:But Canadian auto workers may benefit from a separate GM move that
affects three U.S. car plants and one in Quebec .  
76:That announcement left union officials in Van Nuys and Oklahoma
City uncertain about their futures .  
77:He said he believes GM has plans to keep building A-body cars into
the mid-1990s .  
78:Union officials have taken a beating politically as a result .  
79:The French company said the government gave it 30 days in which to
submit information to further support its takeover plan .  
80:Alan Nymark , executive vice president of Investment Canada , which
oversees foreign takeovers , said it marked the first time in its
four-year history that the agency has made an adverse net-benefit
decision about the acquisition of a publicly traded company .  
81:Mr. Andre issued the ruling based on a recommendation by Investment
Canada .  
82:`` This has become a very politicized deal , concerning Canada 's
only large , world-class bio-research or pharmaceutical company , ''
Mr. Mehta said .  
83:The university is considering a settlement proposal made by
Connaught .  
84:Officials for the two concerns , which are bidding C$ 30 a share
for Connaught , could n't be reached for comment .  
85:Weatherford said market conditions led to the cancellation of the
planned exchange .  
86:Weatherford currently has approximately 11.1 million common shares
outstanding .  
87:Earnings for most of the nation 's major pharmaceutical makers are
believed to have moved ahead briskly in the third quarter , as
companies with newer , big-selling prescription drugs fared especially
well .  
88:Less robust earnings at Pfizer Inc. and Upjohn Co. were attributed
to those companies ' older products , many of which face stiffening
competition from generic drugs and other medicines .  
89:In New York , the company declined comment . 
90:Sales of both drugs have been hurt by new state laws restricting
the prescriptions of certain tranquilizing medicines and adverse
publicity about the excessive use of the drugs .  
91:Revenue is expected to be `` up modestly '' from the $ 26.5 million
reported a year ago .  
92:Sharp-witted and funny but never mean , she 's a memorialist a bit
like Truman Capote , if he 'd been Jewish and female and less bitchy .

93:Rosie died young and Lily has remembered her as a romantic figure ,
who did n't interfere much with her child 's education on the streets
.  
94:She analyzed families by their sleeping arrangements .  
95:Maybe Lily became so obsessed with where people slept and how
because her own arrangements kept shifting .  
96:They came by their strangeness honestly . 
97:For the most part , though , there 's much pleasure in her saucy ,
poignant probe into the mysteries of the Babylonian Bronx .  
98:For his sixth novel , Mr. Friedman tried to resuscitate the
protagonist of his 1972 work , `` About Harry Towns . ''  
99:Harry has avoided all that by living in a Long Island suburb with
his wife , who 's so addicted to soap operas and mystery novels she
barely seems to notice when her husband disappears for drug-seeking
forays into Manhattan .  
100:In 1984 the EPA notified Gulf Resources , which was a part-owner
of the smelter , that it was potentially liable for sharing cleanup
costs at the site under the federal Superfund program .  
101:The company said that as part of its agreement with the EPA , it
`` made certain voluntary undertakings with respect to intercorporate
transactions entered into after the reorganization . ''  
102:Under the agreement , Gulf must give the U.S. government 45 days '
advance written notice before issuing any dividends on common stock .
103:Assuming that the market does n't head into a bottomless free fall
, some executives think Friday 's action could prove a harbinger of
good news -- as a sign that the leveraged buy-out and takeover frenzy
of recent years may be abating .  
104:Where 's the guy who can say : ` Enough is enough ' '' ? 
105:`` There has n't been any fundamental change in the economy , ''
added John Smale , whose Procter & Gamble Co. took an $ 8.75 slide to
close at $ 120.75 .
