Dow starts week closing down 100+ points

NEW YORK - The stock market recovered much of a nearly swoon Monday caused by the latest signs of distress in China's economy and rising U.S. bond yields.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 139 points, or 0.9 percent, to close at 14,659. It was down as much as 248 in the first hour of trading.

The Standard & Poor's index fell 19 points, or 1.2 percent, to 1,573. The Nasdaq composite fell 36 points, or 1.1 percent, to 3,320.

An increase in China's commercial lending rates worried investors. The Shanghai Composite Index plunged 5 percent.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to its highest level in almost two years.

Seven stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was heavy at 4.7 billion shares.
