PHOENIX (AP) — Western Union said in a regulatory filing that it expects to settle its legal battle with Arizona over money transfers to Mexico that the state contends are drug and immigrant smuggling money.

MONTVALE, N.J. (AP) — Supermarkets operator Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. posted a wider second-quarter loss, citing rising unemployment and price competition, and said its chief executive, Eric Claus, is leaving the company.

ATLANTA (AP) — Invesco Ltd. said its third-quarter profit fell 20 percent as revenue declined in results announced after the investment manager said it is acquiring Morgan Stanley's retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments.
