NEW YORK - Shares in many beverage companies and their bottlers fell Monday amid a sharp market decline as investors feared that Congress won't approve a financial bailout package.
In a major setback, the House defeated a $700 billion emergency rescue package on Monday, 228-205, despite urgent pleas from President Bush and bipartisan congressional leaders to quickly bail out the staggering financial industry.
Many stocks, already down before the vote was announced, tumbled further.
Shares in The Coca-Cola Co. fell 42 cents to $52.06 in mid-afternoon trading.
Its biggest bottler Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. fell 75 cents, or 4.3 percent, to $16.59.
PepsiCo Inc., the food and drink company, fell $1.14 to $70.57.
Pepsi Bottling Group fell $1.57, or 5.2 percent, to $28.74.
