Shares of specialty retailers rose in early trading Wednesday after department store chain Macy's Inc. reported a loss in its first quarter partly due to weak sales.

Investors also digested a Labor Department report that showed consumer prices rose 0.2 percent last month.

How some specialty retailers were trading:

OfficeMax Inc. rose 45 cents to $20.25.

Lowe's Companies Inc. climbed 36 cents to $24.75.

Gap Inc. jumped 39 cents to $18.85.

TJX Cos. rose 76 cents to $31.41.
