 DOW STUTTERS TO NEW HIGH: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The Dow Jones industrial average lurched to a new high Monday after first
squandering a 75-point gain that briefly put Wall Street's best-known
indicator above 6,600 for the first time. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The Dow wound up gaining 23.09 to close at 6,567.18, surpassing the
previous high of 6,560.91 that was reached Dec. 27. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 In a session that continued a volatile trading pattern, the Dow began the
day by following through on Friday's 101-point surge. The blue-chip average
climbed 75 and stood as high as 6,619.13, then fell 88 points before
recovering at day's end. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Market jitters were aggravated by worries about inflation, linked to rising
oil prices, and concern over deficit reduction because of the growing
challenges to Newt Gingrich's bid to remain Speaker of the House. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
