* On the TSX, 118 issues were higher, while 93 issues declined in a 1.27-to-1 ratio favouring gainers, with 11.32 million shares traded.

* The largest percentage gainers on the TSX were oil producer Vermilion Energy Inc (TO:VET), which jumped 3.1%, and Fortuna Silver Mines Inc (TO:FVI), which rose 2.2%, after the miner posted third-quarter data on production of gold and silver.

* Empire Company Limited (TO:EMPa) fell 1.5%, the most on the TSX, followed by software maker Descartes Systems Group Inc (TO:DSG), down 1.4%.

* The most heavily traded shares by volume were Toronto-Dominion Bank (TO:TD), Silver Elephant Mining Corp (TO:ELEF), and Microbix Biosystems Inc (TO:MBX).
