(Reuters)
2008-06-10 10:25:00 Thu Jun 5, 8:04 AM ET CHICAGO (Reuters) - Smithfield Foods Inc. (SFD.N) posted sharply lower quarterly profit on Thursday as losses in its hog unit, due in part to high feed prices, outweighed better results in its meat operations, which include Armour and Eckrich brands.

Credit worries rattle markets again
(Reuters)
2008-06-08 22:06:00 By Jeremy Gaunt Tue Jun 3, 4:42 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) - Fears that the credit crisis is back rattled financial markets on Tuesday as a newspaper report added to previous woes by suggesting that U.S. giant Lehman Brothers may need to raise nore capital.

The report followed Monday's Standard & Poor's debt rating downgrade of three big securities companies and the ouster of number four U.S. bank Wachovia's (WB.N) chief executive. Monday also saw UK mortgage lender Bradford & Bingley (BB.L) slash its emergency fundraising pric...
