With little economic news on Monday, investors focused on falling oil prices, which declined as much as $5 to less than $141 a barrel.

In the paper sector, a Credit Suisse analyst upgraded the industry to "Overweight" from "Underweight."

Weyerhaeuser Co., up 20 cents to $49.62.

AbitibiBowater Inc., up 25 cents, or 3.1 percent, to $8.27.

International Paper Co., up 25 cents to $22.67.

Temple-Inland, up 77 cents, or 7.3 percent, to $11.37.
