NEW YORK (Reuters) -
Stocks fell on Monday as shares of
energy and commodity-related companies tumbled on falling oil
and metals prices and investors worried the housing slump could
fuel further losses at financial companies.

Based on the latest available data, the Dow Jones
industrial average
(.DJI) fell 42.17 points, or 0.37 percent,
to end unofficially at 11,284.15. The Standard & Poor's 500
Index
(.SPX) fell 11.30 points, or 0.90 percent, to finish
unofficially at 1,249.01. The Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC)
fell 25.40 points, or 1.10 percent, to close unofficially at
2,285.56.
