Wall Street shot higher Tuesday as investors got some heartening economic news: a report that activity in the services sector fell less than expected last month, and another drop in the price of oil. The upbeat developments, which lifted the Dow Jones industrials nearly 200 points, came as the market awaited the outcome of a Federal Reserve meeting on interest rates. (AP Photo/Richard Drew)
