Wall Street falls on Japan but off session lows


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks fell on Tuesday, but ended far from session lows on the Federal Reserve's more upbeat economic outlook and growing sentiment that Japan's nuclear crisis would only temporarily depress share prices.

    The Dow Jones industrial average was down 137.82 points, or 1.15 percent, at 11,855.34, according to the latest available data. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 14.55 points, or 1.12 percent, at 1,281.84. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 33.64 points, or 1.25 percent, at 2,667.33.
