Aug 21 (Reuters) - Macy's missed market

expectations for quarterly revenue on Wednesday as lingering

weakness in U.S. consumer spending hurt demand for big-ticket,

non-essential goods.

The company's second-quarter net sales fell 3.8% to $4.9

billion, compared with analysts' expectations for a 0.23% fall

to $5.12 billion, according to LSEG.
