Praxair profits drop on weak sales

Profits at Praxair, a Danbury-based manufacturer of industrial gases, dropped about 7 percent during first quarter due to pressure on international sales from a strong dollar and lower commodity prices, company executives reported Wednesday. Praxair also lowered expectations for revenue and earnings per share for the coming year during a conference call Wednesday.
