The publisher of The Daily News said yesterday that the 71-year-old newspaper, once the largest daily in the country, would be closed on March 15 unless it could be sold to a new owner. The announcement moves up by five days a previous deadline that the publisher, James Hoge, set in January, and begins the final act in the prolonged, often painful drama of The Daily News.

The British publisher Robert Maxwell agreed yesterday to buy The Daily News provided he can reach a settlement with the paper's nine striking unions, the publisher of The News said. James Hoge, The News's publisher, said Mr. Maxwell had signed a letter of intent to buy the paper from the Tribune Company of Chicago. But Mr. Maxwell immediately told the unions that they would have to reach an agreement with him by Monday -- a settlement that has eluded labor and management for 13 months. 'Difficult, Tortuous Road' "In general," Mr. Hoge said in a telephone interview, "the two parties have agreed to terms of a sale, contingent on several things, including his reaching agreements with the unions."

WHEN it comes to dividends, the good news is almost always much greater than the bad news. That is a sign of the enduring strength of the American economy and a reason for long-term increases in stock prices. But this year, the amount of good news is getting to be less and less, and the bad news is growing rapidly. Such crescendos of bad news typically come at the bottoms of bear markets, but this one is coming with stock indexes like the Standard & Poor's 500 at a record level.

About 2,000 new Honda Accords, the best-selling car in the United States for the last two years, are being stored as the Japanese manufacturer resists layoffs at its United States assembly plant, the company said. The cars are being kept at a former Army depot in Marion, Ohio, about 25 miles northeast of the Accord assembly plant in Marysville, Ohio, a Honda Motor Company spokesman, Kurt Antonius, said. It is expected that unsold Honda Civics, made at Marysville and nearby East Liberty, Ohio, will also be stored at the depot.
