TORONTO, May 30 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell on Tuesday as broad declines among oil and gas companies, partly hurt by a slide in crude oil prices, offset a moderate rise by Bank of Nova Scotia BNS.TO and slight gains in other sectors.

The energy group, which make up about a fifth of the index, fell 1.5 percent, at one point touching an eight-month low.
U.S. crude CLc1 prices were down 0.8 percent to $49.4 a barrel, as concerns that production cuts by the world's big exporters may not be enough to drain a global glut in crude. in Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMI) Canada Ltd KML.TO debuted at C$16.06 on the TSX after raising C$1.75 billion ($1.3 billion) in an initial public offering at C$17.00 each last week. 10:30 a.m. ET (1430 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE fell 33.41 points, or 0.22 percent, to 15,388.50.

National Railway Co CNR.TO , which averted a strike after reaching a tentative deal on Monday with the Teamsters union that represents 3,000 conductors, rose 0.8 percent rise to C$104.21. The overall industrials sector climbed 0.2 percent. issues outnumbered advancing ones on the TSX by 163 to 78, for a 2.09-to-1 ratio on the downside.
