Fracmaster Ltd., a Canadian oilfield- services company, was the index's worst performer, slipping 90 percent in the past three months. Shares of Montreal-based Emergis, which develops ways to transact business over computer networks, rose after the company was included in the TSE 300 and on profit growth optimism for the electronic commerce sector. ''In general, e-commerce has been quite an active sector, especially after Christmas, with projections of three-digit growth rates,'' said Jason Zandberg, an analyst at Pacific International Securities Inc. in Vancouver. Shares of Calgary-based Fracmaster plunged after a search for a buyer didn't turn up any bids, forcing the company to cut 250 jobs, or 25 percent of its workforce, and seek court protection from creditors.
