To All: Hot news from Yahoo: Wednesday February 11, 10:07 am Eastern Time Lunar up amid talk of large Russian order CHICAGO, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Shares in Lunar Corp, a maker of systems that test for human bone density, jumped 2-3/4 early Wednesday to 25-3/4 in over-the-counter trading. Analysts said the Madison, Wis.-based firm was one of 35 companies reportedly involved in a large order of medical equipment made by a Russian buyer, but details were unclear. Lunar could not immediately be reached for comment. ''Lunar was tagged as one of the companies involved in a $70-million medical equipment order to the Moscow Academy,'' said Hans von der Luft, analyst at Tucker Anthony. Another analyst said he doubted whether the Russian order was big enough to explain the stock's movement. The shares were up as much as four shortly after the opening bell.
