NEW YORK – The stock market’s concerns about the economy aren’t letting up even after Congress reached a deal on a $789 billion economic stimulus plan.

With Wall Street skeptical about how effective the stimulus will really be, a surprise jump in January retail sales and better-than-expected results from Coca-Cola Co. could not keep the market from trading lower Thursday. The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 200 points, trading near its lowest levels since last November.
