NEW YORK, N.Y. – Stocks are ending with modest gains on Wall Street after recovering from an early stumble caused by a poor report on the housing market.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose six points, or 0.4 per cent, to 1,663.

Report: 2 rival stock-exchange companies in talks on merger to make No. 2 US market operator
– canadianbusiness.com
Two electronic stock-exchange companies are in advanced talks on a merger that would create the second-biggest stock market operator in the U.S., according to a news report.
BATS Global Markets and Direct Edge Holdings could announce a combination within days, The Wall Street Journal said Friday, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter.
Representatives for the two companies declined to comment when asked about the report by The Associated Press.
A merger of BATS and Direct Edge would create the No. 2 U.S. operator, behind New York Stock Exchange owner NYSE Euronext Inc. and ahead of Nasdaq OMX Group Inc., the Journal said, accounting for 20 per cent of the market.
It would be the latest consolidation in the sector. Futures exchange IntercontinentalExchange wants to buy NYSE Euronext for $8 billion.

Vt. town looks to spring for cash flow; seeks bottlers to capture ‘ultra-clean’ water
– canadianbusiness.com
BENNINGTON, Vt. – A Vermont town looking to boost its economy is considering dipping into the most liquid of assets: its water.
Bennington is looking for a bottler who might want to set up a plant and sell what town officials describe as its “ultra-clean” water from an artesian spring at the base of the Green Mountain National Forest.
The town of about 16,000 people only uses about 10 per cent of the 2.1 million gallons of water Morgan Spring generates daily, officials said.
“With a vast percentage of this resource being untapped, Bennington sees this as an opportunity that should not be overlooked,” said Michael Harrington, the town’s economic and community development director.
Bennington already sells about $25,000 worth of water a year to bottled water company Vermont Pure, which is limited to hauling 100,000 gallons a day from the spring but never maxes out, said Town Manager Stuart Hurd. So why not try to sell more?
“A bottling plant would not only be good to buy more water, the bottling plant would also create jobs, it would build the grand list, and it’s an economic development opportunity as well as a revenue opportunity of us,” Hurd said…
