CANADA STOCKS-TSX ends down slightly as commodities drag

TORONTO, April 18 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index
ended slightly lower on Wednesday as commodity markets dropped
broadly, but stronger financials and a series of deals in the
consumer, health and mining sectors put a firm floor under
losses. 	
    The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index
 unofficially ended down 8.05 points, or 0.07 percent,
at 12,128.89.
