Dow Jones & Co. reported that its profit edged up 2.1% in the second quarter and repeated an earlier prediction of “only modest earnings gains until fall.” Warren H.

He also said that the volume of classified advertising was down 4.2% in the Wall Street Journal during the second quarter. Circulation on June 30 was 3.8% below a year earlier.
