By Jim Butman

The BizTimes Stock Index recovered 1.87 points to close at 167.53 Thursday, but local stocks slipped back into the muck again this morning, with decliners far outnumbering advancers. The largest local decliners this morning were Kohl's Corp. (down $2.25 to $48.24), Manpower Inc. (down $1.62 to $67.70) and Weyco Group Inc. (down $1.07 to $27.11). The largest local advancers this morning were Bucyrus International Inc. (up $3.96 to $142.65) and Joy Global Inc. (up 55 cents to $80.85). The BizTimes Stock Index was created by Small Business Times and is monitored by North Shore Bank. The index, which measures the stock values of publicly held companies based in southeastern Wisconsin, is updated daily and can be viewed at www.biztimes.com.
