>> hi, erika! >> how are you? >> good, how are you? >> good. tell us a little bit about the history of the printing press? >> sure. the printing press was developed in the 15th century around the 1450s by gutenberg in germany. the printing press had an enormous effect on our culture, on human culture, because it allowed knowledge and culture to be spread really quickly to a lot of people. so soon after the press was invented in the 1450s, it spread throughout europe in 20-25 years. >> today, you know, we're all used to just hitting a button and getting whatever you want, and whatever type face you want immediately. this was a lot more trouble, a lot more work. type was all in little pieces, much like these. individual pieces of metal or wood, and you had to put them together upside down and backwards -- so it was a lot of work, and took a lot more people than it, than printing takes now. >> so can you give us a little demonstration on how it works? >> sure. in the press right now, i've got some wood type locked up from our collection. it's some

erika miller reports. >> reporter: there's court, and then there's the court of public opinion. both matter in determining whether david sokol did something wrong. law professor jack coffee says criminal charges are highly unlikely. >> i think he may have done something that was morally wrong, reckless, even self- destructive. but i don't think he has violated the insider trading obligation, because he wasn't an insider of the company he was investing in. >> reporter: but to many, it appears that sokol violated berkshire hathaway's code of conduct. in it is warren buffet's rule of thumb: >> "i want employees to ask themselves whether they are willing to have any contemplated act appear the next day on the front page of their local paper." also at issue is whether sokol's personal trading will tarnish warren buffett's golden reputation. brand expert kelly o'keefe says the answer is unclear. >> if you have an issue in your company where somebody is found doing something that looks self- serving, and you don't look to see if anyone else is doing that, there's something wrong with y

erika has the story. >> the date is september 11, 1609. henry hudson has been hired by dutch businessmen to find a new trade route to india. instead, hudson discovers a secluded island, rich in natural resources. the dutch purchase it from a local tribe known as "the manahattas." then, in 1664, england captures the island, naming it after the duke of york. today, we know it as manhattan in the city of new york. i took a walk around manhattan's south street seaport with historian michael lord. it wound up being a trip into the past. so what was the beginning of commerce here in new york? >> well, i guess commerce would probably even predate hudson, if you're talking about native americans trading with one another. they had a tremendous number of animal pelts. they had lumber. this place was loaded with woods. >> while native americans are rich in resources, europeans have depleted much of theirs, including animals used for clothing. >> europeans had no more beavers, because they had already trapped them and all their lumber was diminishing.

erika miller, "nightly business report," new york. >> suzanne: higher interest rates could be in the works as early as this fall. the president of the minneapolis federal reserve bank said today a boost in short-term rates is, "certainly possible later this year, especially if inflation heats up." also today, the central bank today released thousands of pages detailing which banks took money from the discount window during the financial crisis. in the past, that info had been kept secret to protect banks from any appearance of weakness. today's release of names was prompted by a court fight with news agencies. >> tom: here are the stories in tonight's "n.b.r. newswheel." wall street wrapped up the first quarter with a relatively quiet day of trading. the dow fell 30 points, the nasdaq gained four, and the s&p 500 was off two points. we'll dissect the quarter with s&p's sam stovall in just a few moments. trading volume picked up-- just over a billion shares moved on the big board; just under two billion on the nasdaq. oil prices hit a 2.5-year high in new york trading, closing above $

erika miller reports. >> reporter: chances are you receive bank and credit card statements like these every month. but unless you examine them closely, you may miss some startling fees. like a 30% interest rate if you don't make a minimum credit card payment on time. or a $30 penalty for bouncing a check, which is the national average nowadays. j.p. morgan chase is even testing $5 a.t.m. charges in some markets. consumer advocate ed mierzwinski says the biggest change nationwide is that checking is going from "free" to "fee." >> what they've done is, they've divided checking up into an a la carte kind of a product. you pay extra for your a.t.m. card, you pay extra to use your a.t.m. card, get your checks mailed back, get your images mailed back, get your statements mailed back. it adds up to billions of dollars. >> reporter: once upon a time, fees were a way for banks to discourage bad behavior. now they are a huge money maker. last year, fees generated about half of all income for banks, slightly less for credit card companies. they struggle to replace billions of dollars in lost rev

erika miller was at the meeting and has more on the controversy. >> reporter: shareholders arrived early in the morning at the new york stock exchange armed with questions. many came to find out why the n.y.s.e. board will not consider a bid from the nasdaq and i.c.e. exchange that would pay shareholders more money. in a meeting closed to cameras, c.e.o. duncan niederauer answered them, arguing a merger with deutsche bourse will provide better long-term returns and is more likely to be approved by regulators. that won the support of irwin herling, whose family owns more than 150,000 shares. >> there's no benefit going forward for the shareholders getting involved with nasdaq. >> reporter: you own a fair number of shares, you are not tempted by a higher dollar offer? >> it's all short term. it's taxable. >> reporter: in the other camp is kenneth steiner, who owns 1,000 shares. he believes the deutsche bourse offer is too low. >> my prediction is that you'll see a higher price before the deal is actually voted upon, because i think it's doubtful as of today that it would pass. >> reporter:

but erika miller looks at how rising commodity prices are affecting the rest of corporate america. >> reporter: the rising price of gasoline is taking a serious, immediate toll on many households. but the impact doesn't seem to be nearly as bad on corporate balance sheets. there's no question, the cost of doing business has been increasing at many firms. after all, on top of energy, the prices of many agricultural and industrial raw materials have also surged. so it may surprise you that profit margins for the s&p 500 are close to record levels. earnings expert mike thompson explains one reason why. >> the consumer is basically absorbing the costs. so, corporations are being able to pass on their higher increases to the consumer and continue to, you know, make good profits. >> reporter: in addition, rising commodity prices are a reflection of an improving global economy. so, in many cases sales are rising at a faster rate than costs. plus, u.b.s. analyst david lefkowitz points out raw materials are only a small portion of total business expenses. >> we think it's somewhere between 7%

erika miller, "nightly business report," new york. >> hi, tom, a very nice start today to the second quarter. and even happening on april fool's day. >> no foog. still some buyers out there, still appetite to own stocks and yeah, a nice beginning for the second quarter. no doubt about it, suzanne. let's get folks updated with tonight's market focus. >> tom: a late afternoon swoon wasn't enough to knock the major indices into negative territory. they hung onto small gains. let's start by looking at the dow this year. with today's small gain, its up almost 7% since january first. we roll out a three-year view showing the dow has popped to a new post-recession high. the index is at its highest price since the late spring of 2008. it's up 87% from its recession low. among the leaders of this rally for the dow has been caterpillar. shares led the index today up more than 1.5%. that was enough to push it to a new 52-week high. cat shares have been building on the back of stronger farm commodity prices and emerging market demand. the industrial sector was the strongest sector today with hea

erika miller, "nightly business report," new york. >> tom: here are the stories in tonight's n.b.r. newswheel: the biggest-ever hedge fund insider trading case is winding down. the prosecution and defense in the raj rajaratnam trial rested today without the galleon group founder taking the stand. closing arguments in the case begin wednesday. jury deliberations start by the end of the week. still haven't finished your taxes? you have until midnight to get them postmarked. the internal revenue service says it's been a record year for electronic tax returns. more than 100 million have been filed this year. >> susie: a year ago this week, one the nation's worst environmental disasters rocked the gulf of mexico. the explosion at b.p.'s deep water horizon project killed 11 workers and spilled an estimated five million barrels of oil into the gulf. this week we take you back to the region to see how the communities, businesses and residents along the coast are faring one year later. in part one of our series "revitalizing the gulf," diane eastabrook visits gulf shores, alabama, where the

. >> reporter: this is erika miller in new york. if you want to find businesses that love a weak dollar, look no further than times square-- the heart of u.s. tourism. many foreigners travel here because their money can go a lot further than it did a year ago. those visitors are the lifeline of stores like "phantom of broadway," as anna maria cin will tell you. how much of your business comes from foreigners >> 90% >> reporter: and what are they buying? >> everything. >> reporter: she says sales are up over 30% compared to last year. but tourism is not the only sector of the economy that is benefiting from the dollar's fall. many u.s. firms are seeing strong sales overseas, because their goods sell at cheaper prices. and as analyst scott wren points out, the impact has been significant on earnings. >> i think the weaker dollar is always a tailwind. it kind of puts the wind at the back of a lot of these companies, if you consider that almost half the revenues for the s&p 500 comes from overseas, it definitely makes a difference. >> r

as erika miller reports, today's settlement could be a big deal for big banks and the overall economy. >> reporter: the agreement covers just 14 mortgage servicers. that may not sound like a lot, but these are the titans of the industry. j.p. morgan chase, bank of america, citigroup, wells fargo and u.s. bancorp are among those included. together, all the firms involved hold roughly $7 trillion in mortgages, nearly seven out of r.b.c. analyst gerard cassidy says the deal is a big win for financial firms. >> by lifting this cloud, it is certainly going to give stock investors the ability to say "okay." the dollar amount has been quantified, it's going to occur in 2011 earnings, and as we look about to 2012 and 2012 those charges will not be present. >> reporter: the settlement will also benefit some homeowners facing foreclosure. that's because banks will repay borrowers if they lost money due to bungled paperwork. the firms will also have to hire staff, upgrade document tracking systems and have an independent audit of their foreclosure practices. most big banks temporarily suspended

erika miller, "nightly business report," new york. >> tom: here's what we're watching for tomorrow: did the u.s. economy grow during the first three months of the year? we get a preliminary look at first quarter g.d.p. lots of earnings. exxon mobil, microsoft and pepsi release their quarterly results. also, new york stock exchange shareholders meet to mull a key question-- should they merge with germany's deutsche boerse or take a counter offer from rival nasdaq? >> susie: if you're worried your iphone is tracking and recording your every move, apple says forget it. the company today said a data file on the phone does keep a list of wifi hotspots and cell phone towers near you, but there's no tracking involved. that data file has been at the center of a swirl of controversy ever since it was unearthed by researchers last week. apple now says it's updating the phone's software to limit the data. >> tom: speaking of controversy, sony's in the center of one after revealing its playstation web network was hacked. credit card numbers and personal information of more than 77 million users mig

erika miller, "nightly business report," new york. >> susie: here are the stories in tonight's "n.b.r. newswheel." stocks slipped after a major earthquake in japan reignited fears about a nuclear crisis. the dow fell 17 points, the nasdaq lost threee, the s&p 500 off two. big board volume rose above 900 million shares; nasdaq dropped below two billion shares. oil prices are now at $110 a barrel, the first time in 2 1/2 years. in new york trading, crude futures jumped $1.47 to $110.30. but consumers are still spending, despite higher gas prices. the nation's retailers reported a sales gain of 1.7% in march compared to a year ago. economists were expecting a drop in spending, especially with the easter holiday coming late this spring. among the top performers: limited brands, parent of victoria's secret, posted a sales gain of 14%. costco rose 13%, while luxury department store chain saks saw an 11% rise. more good news on the jobs front. weekly jobless claims fell again, suggesting slow but steady improvement in the job market. requests for unemployment benefits were down by 10,000 to

as erika miller reports, that trend looks good again, especially if you talk with one new york company mopping up new business. >> reporter: deluxe bathmats might seem like a hard sell in a soft economy. but minds-in-sync, the company that makes them, has hired 20 new workers this year thanks to strong demand for its products. c.e.o. iain scorgie says for many frugal americans his merchandise is an affordable indulgence. >> they still need to have some pleasures in life, and maybe they couldn't do things that were costing hundreds or thousands that they were doing before, but maybe for just a little, small amount of money-- 20, 30 bucks-- they have a bit of luxury in their day. >> reporter: when small businesses ramp up hiring, it's usually a positive sign for the overall economy. that's because small firms are typically the first to hire during an economic recovery. payroll data firm intuit tracks hiring at firms with fewer than 20 employees, and its business employment index has risen 18 straight months. hiring in march was the strongest since december 2008. and there were gains in a
