28 September 2001, 13:08  U.S. shares ended mixed Wednesday

with technologies weak in an otherwise firm market. The Dow Industrials ended up 114.03, or 1.3 percent, at 8681.42. The S&P 500 and Wilshire 5000 were both up about 1 percent. Technologies were weak, with the Nasdaq Composite down 3.33 at 1460.71 and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index down more than 2 percent. Dealers said a bright spot for the session was strong buying during the afternoon, perhaps by managers rebalancing portfolios at the end of the quarter, that pushed most indexes to their highs at the close.
