From Times Staff and Wire Reports
USX Corp.: The steel and energy company said first-quarter profit fell 40% from the same period in 1989 to $176 million. Sales totaled $4.7 billion, up 4%. The year-ago results included a $74-million pretax gain from asset disposals. The Pittsburgh firm said increased sales at its Marathon Oil Co. were offset by weakness in its steel segment.
