TORONTO, May 1 (Reuters) – Canada’s main stock index fell

more than 1 percent on Wednesday, hurt by sluggish economic data

from China that hurt commodity prices and weak earnings reports

from some of the country’s biggest companies.

The Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P;/TSX composite index

unofficially closed down 135.21 points, or 1.09

percent, at 12,321.29. Eight of the 10 main sectors on the index

were in the red.
