CANADA STOCKS-TSX ends higher as bank shares gain

TORONTO, June 17 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index rose
on Tuesday as strength in the financial sector helped offset
worries about the volatile situation in Iraq and nervousness
about the outcome of a Federal Reserve policy meeting.
    The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index
 unofficially closed up 15.46 points, or 0.10 percent,
at 15,055.89. Seven of the 10 main sectors on the index were
higher.
