Newspaper unions remained deadlocked yesterday over who should buy The Daily News. Exactly when -- or if -- a consensus can be reached was very much in doubt, despite a Monday deadline from a bankruptcy judge. Union support is viewed as the essential element of a sale of the bankrupt paper, and after months of unresolved negotiations, the frustration of prospective buyers is apparent.

Datek, an over-the-counter market maker based in Brooklyn, resumed trading today two days after the firm was sanctioned by the National Association of Securities Dealers. The association suspended the firm and its general manager, Sheldon Maschler, for 90 days on charges of abusing the Small Order Execution System. Datek's lawyers filed a petition for a stay of the sanctions until an appeal hearing on Tuesday. Until the hearing, Datek will be allowed to trade stocks, but the firm is prohibited from using the small order system, which was intended for electronic trading of orders not exceeding 1,000 shares. Datek is accused of executing large orders over the system by dividing them into multiple blocks of 1,000 shares each, allowing the firm to sell thousands of shares quickly from its own inventory.
