Retailers Fall

A report from the International Council of Shopping Centers showed March same-store sales growth was 1.6 percent, the slowest rate since August 2004, as cold weather, higher gasoline prices and a late Easter limited spending. The group had estimated growth of 2 percent to 2.5 percent.

Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, fell 31 cents to $46.56. April sales at U.S. stores open at least a year will climb 4 percent to 6 percent, the company said. March same-store sales rose 1.4 percent, the smallest gain since April 2005. Wal- Mart had forecast a March gain of 1 percent to 3 percent.

Dillard's, a department-store operator, dropped 42 cents to $26.10 after it reported little change in same-store sales. Limited Brands, which owns the Limited and Express chains, slipped 23 cents to $24.76 as sales rose 2 percent.
