Blue chips rallied after falling sharply in morning trading on fears that a Japanese recession will bite deeply into the American economy and corporate profits. But skittishness about weakened earnings suppressed the oft-bubbly technology sector. The Dow rose 23.17 points, or 0.26 percent, to close at 8834.94. The Nasdaq fell 4.70 points, or 0.27 percent, to 1745.05.
