Stocks waffle after mixed news on manufacturing

Stocks drift as a September rally weakens; Mixed signals on manufacturing

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are mixed as a rally that drove the market sharply higher in September appears to be running out of gas.

Major indexes are fluctuating throughout Wednesday as investors reconcile a poor reading on manufacturing activity in New York with a separate report showing that U.S. industrial production grew.

European markets are falling, but Japanese stocks surged after the country's government stepped in to weaken the yen.

The Dow Jones industrial average is up 30, or 0.3 percent, at 10,557. The S&P 500 is up less than 1 at 1,121, while the Nasdaq composite is up 3, or 0.1 percent, at 2,293.

Even with indexes higher, declining stocks are outpacing those rising on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was 300 million shares.

Yesterday's Top Performing Small Cap Stock:

Curaxis Pharmaceutical Corp. CURX

Curaxis Pharmaceutical Corp. was a SmallCapVoice.com top performer closing up over 7% on trading volume of 45,433 shares.

Curaxis is an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company with a hormone drug product candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and multiple cancers. Curaxis' therapeutic platform is based on the hypothesis that many diseases of aging may be caused by age-related changes in the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. The HPG axis is a hormonal endocrine feedback loop that controls development, reproduction and aging in animals. This drug development platform is built on the premise that hormones associated with this feedback loop are beneficial early in life, when they promote growth and development, but are harmful later in life when the mechanism foCHfeedback is compromised, thereby leading to disease processes, including pathologies associated with Alzheimer's disease and various cancers. We believe our discovery of similar hormonal signaling mechanisms at the cellular level in brain tissue from Alzheimer's patients and in multiple tumors will enable us to develop significant new treatments for Alzheimer's disease as well as many cancers.
