Wall Street pulled back in erratic trading Monday as investors grew more concerned about a deteriorating housing market and the widening impact of soured debt after Citigroup Inc. warned it plans to book $8 billion to $11 billion in additional losses. The re-emergence of credit concerns -- like those that pummeled Wall Street this summer -- comes as the market also contends with concerns about housing and the health of consumer spending, and with rising expectations that the Federal Reserve is leaning away from cutting interest rates when it meets next month. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 51.70, or 0.38 percent, to 13,543.40. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 7.48, or 0.50 percent, to 1,502.17. The Nasdaq composite index fell 15.20, or 0.54 percent, to 2,795.18. For the year: The Dow is up 1,080.25, or 8.67 percent. The S&P is up 83.87, or 5.91 percent. The Nasdaq is up 379.89, or 15.73 percent.
