SYMBOL LOOKUP

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 Colgate-Palmolive Co. fell $1.19 to $75.87 in mid-afternoon trading Monday.

Kimberly-Clark Corp. was down 94 cents to $65.13.

Procter & Gamble Co. shares fell 88 cents to $67.96.

Clorox Co., however, rose 2 cents to $61.80.
