Wall Street pares gains after tremor


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks cut gains after a minor earthquake sent tremors along the east coast on Tuesday but a highly anticipated address by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke later this week kept markets higher.

    The Dow Jones industrial average gained 176.50 points, or 1.63 percent, to 11,031.15. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained 20.66 points, or 1.84 percent, to 1,144.48. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 60.89 points, or 2.60 percent, to 2,406.27.
