Stocks ended pretty much where they started on Wall Street, leaving the market with a weekly loss for the first time since mid-February. Banks and other financial companies fell Thursday, while telecommunications companies rose. The Dow Jones industrial average edged up 13 points, or 0.1%, to 17,515. The Standard & Poor's 500 index slipped a point to 2,035. The Nasdaq composite inched up four points to 4,773. Trading was relatively quiet ahead of the Easter holiday weekend. US markets will be closed Friday for the Good Friday holiday. (More Dow Jones stories.)
