In other market highlights:

* Wyeth lost $5.37, or 12%, to $39.74 after its experimental Alzheimer's drug was linked to a brain-swelling side effect in a test. The company's drug, bapineuzumab, developed with Elan Corp., showed no benefit for the majority of Alzheimer's patients.

* CB Richard Ellis Group and Jones Lang LaSalle plunged after the commercial real estate brokers reported declines in second-quarter earnings, citing weakness in property sales and leasing stemming from the credit crisis.
