Shares of Lund International Holdings Inc. fell 23 percent yesterday after the company said late on Tuesday that sales for its second quarter, ending Dec. 31, would be lower than expected. The company, which makes accessories for light trucks and vans, attributed the outlook to a soft retail economy, a decline in light truck sales and other factors that caused expanded inventory at distributors. Lund, which is based in Anoka, Minn., said it had cut its work force by 10 percent and had consolidated its operations. In last year's second quarter, Lund earned $1.65 million, or 37 cents a share, on sales of $11.1 million. Lund's shares were down $3.375, to $10.75, in Nasdaq trading.
