Wall Street ended lower on Monday as tumbling oil prices dragged energy shares to a three-year low and factory data from China raised concerns about the world's second-biggest economy.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 0.52 percent to end at 17,598.2. The S&P 500 lost 0.28 percent to 2,098.04 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.25 percent to 5,115.38. The Visual Marketplace Index also closed down, but was virtually unchanged, losing only a tenth of a point, to finish the day at 271.58.
