STOCKS FALL BACK: Investors cashed in some gains from two weeks of rallies Tuesday, sending stock prices lower. Analysts had expected the market to give back some of its advance, which over the previous eight sessions had boosted the Dow Jones industrials more than 1,200 points. The Dow closed down 88.08, or 1 percent, at 8,450.16. The Nasdaq composite index fell 1.3 percent and the Standard & Poor's 500 index declined 1.1 percent. "Given the strength of the rally, it was appropriate to expect a pause," said Jack Caffrey, equities strategist J.P. Morgan Private Bank.
