Wall Steet rises with transports, data drags


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks posted their sixth straight day of gains on Thursday as an encouraging profit forecast from United Parcel Service lifted transportation shares, though concerns about a rise in weekly jobless claims limited the market's advance.

    The Dow Jones industrial average added 21.46 points, or 0.19 percent, to end unofficially at 11,144.57. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index edged up 1.03 points, or 0.09 percent, to finish unofficially at 1,211.68. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 10.83 points, or 0.43 percent, to close unofficially at 2,515.69.
