NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks dropped at the open on Friday after congressional talks on a $700 billion financial sector bailout stalled and authorities seized the largest U.S. thrift, heightening worries about the fallout from the credit crisis.
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI was down 126.80 points, or 1.15 percent, at 10,895.26. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX was down 18.36 points, or 1.52 percent, at 1,190.82. The Nasdaq Composite Index .IXIC was down 47.03 points, or 2.15 percent, at 2,139.54.
