K, U.S. TRADING SUMMARY: U.S. stocks were sharply lower at midday Tuesday after a key gauge of U.S. manufacturing activity, accidentally released a day ahead of schedule, sent stocks tumbling. The U.S. National Association of Purchasing Management had been scheduled to release its monthly gauge of manufacturing activity Wednesday morning. But the data ended up posted on its Web site and quickly spread through the market. The NAPM said its index came in at 54.2 for August, lower than the expected reading of 56.1. Although that would seem to calm inflation fears, the report showed signs of pricing strength, with its prices paid index rising to 59.8 from 54.7. ''That data came out somehow and immediately the market went down,'' said one trader.
