Reuters) - Stocks fell on Friday after revenue from Wells Fargo (WFC.N) disappointed investors, offsetting a jump in consumer sentiment to a five-year high.

Wells Fargo (WFC.N), the biggest U.S. home lender, lost 3.3 percent to $34.03 after its total quarterly revenue of $21.2 billion missed analysts' forecasts. That shortfall prompted investors to sell other bank shares, in spite of a record quarterly profit reported on Friday by JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N). Shares of JPMorgan slid 1 percent to $41.68.

The KBW Bank index .BKX lost 2.5 percent.

As a group, S&P 500 companies' quarterly earnings are expected to fall 3 percent from a year ago, according to Thomson Reuters data, compared with a forecast calling for a 2.1 percent decline estimated at the beginning of the month.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- In a surprisingly strong economic report, China said Saturday that its trade surplus widened in September, easing worries that the world's second-largest economy might be slipping back into a recession.

Exports were at a record monthly level of $186.4 billion in September, rising a solid 9.9% from a year ago, data from the General Administration of Customs showed Saturday, according to The Wall Street Journal.

That was much higher than the 2.7% rise in August and well above the median forecast of 5.0% by 13 economists in a Dow Jones Newswires survey.

Imports were up 2.4%, compared with a 2.6% fall in August and a median forecast of a 2.0% rise, the Journal said.

The September trade surplus expanded to $27.67 billion from $26.7 billion in August, surpassing a median forecast of $22.4 billion.

Economists have been looking to trade data for signs that China might be shaking off its recent sluggishness. Read story about data providing clues to China's recovery pace.

A 62-year-old seafood plant worker was cooked to death in an industrial accident in Southern California, authorities said Friday.

The Whittier Daily News reported that the worker, identified as Jose Melena, had been a six-year employee of Bumble Bee Foods in Santa Fe Springs, Calif. The incident occurred shortly after 7 a.m. Thursday, police said.

Erika Monterroza, a spokeswoman for the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, said initial findings indicated “he was fatally injured when he was cooked in an oven.” It was unclear how precisely the man ended up in the industrial cooking device, described as a “steamer machine.”
