TORONTO, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index
unofficially closed higher on Wednesday as advances in banks
and Potash Corp (POT.TO: Quote, Profile, Research) outweighed a drop in the energy
group.

After a brief turn lower near the end of the session on
weakness in EnCana (ECA.TO: Quote, Profile, Research) and other oil producers, the
S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE clawed back to finish
unofficially up 12.23 points at 11,438.97.
