 NEW YORK, June 30 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks fell on Tuesday
as an unexpected drop in consumer confidence dented optimism
about an economic recovery, but the S&P 500 still closed out
its best quarter in more than a decade.
 The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI fell 82.38 points,
or 0.97 percent, to close unofficially at 8,447.00. The
Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX dropped 7.91 points, or
0.85 percent, to end unofficially at 919.32. The Nasdaq
Composite Index .IXIC shed 9.02 points, or 0.49 percent, to
 finish unofficially at 1,835.04.
