Summary box: market follows lower retailers (AP)

MIND THE GAP: Retailers Gap Inc. and Aéropostale each lost more than 14% Friday after having cut their forecasts of profit for the year, in part because of the costs for raw materials and sluggish sales. It was a worrying sign for investors who had counted on buyers to result in a resumption of spending.

DOLLAR GAINS: Concerns about the economy sent the dollar and the Government of obligations higher.

Indexes: the Dow Jones index fell 93.28 points, or 0.7%, to 12,512.04. Standard & Poor 500 index lost 10.33 or 0.8%, to 1,333.27. The Nasdaq composite 19,99 ignored or 0.7%, to 2,803.32.
