U.S. crude futures drop $1 after bailout passes


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. crude oil futures fell more than $1 on Friday in seesaw trading after the House of Representatives passed a financial sector rescue bill.

    On the New York Mercantile Exchange at 1:48 p.m. EDT, crude for November delivery was down 85 cents, or 0.9 percent, at $93.12 a barrel, having traded from $91.30 to $96.03.
