Among the 30 Dow components, telecommunications companies did well.

Despite the fact that the market was concerned with economic growth, cyclical stocks were the main casualties among the Dow components.

International Paper, a Dow component, fell 2 1/4, to 53 7/8.

Hewlett-Packard, another Dow component, was up 6 3/16, at 144.

That is not true of any other Dow components.

Some Dow components fell in the morning but turned around and posted gains by the end of the day.

Citigroup, a Dow component, fell 1 3/4, to 42 15/16.

Among the Dow components, 18 issues advanced while 12 declined.

Still, the Dow components that have led the charge back have done exceedingly well.

American Express, a Dow component, gained 2 3/4, to 128.
