Thursday September 17, 1:19 pm Eastern Time U.S. stock index futures slide early, S&Ps fall 32 Sept 17 - U.S. stock index futures slid in early pit trading. Dec S&P 500 futures skidded 27 pts after touching and coming up from that first downside limit in Globex trading. Dec S&Ps were locked limit-offered at the end of 10 minutes, so trade halted for two mins and resumed with next limit of down 55 pts or 5 pct in effect. Beyond there, next limit is down 10 pct or 110 pts. Losses tied largely to overseas shares, flight-to-quality into Treasuries, on disappointment Greenspan dashed hopes of coordinated global rate cuts.
