Of the thirteen Exchange Dates between now and February 24, ten will be resolved by redemption. Next up is BMO.PR.N, (Exchange Date 2014-2-25) but with an Issue Reset Spread of +383bp, there&#8217;s not much suspense surrounding the eventual announcement. In fact, the seven following Exchange Dates (going out to June 1) are all for issues with spreads in excess of 400bp, so there&#8217;s not a lot of scope for entertaining speculation.<\/p>\n<p>It was a mixed day for the Canadian preferred share market, with PerpetualDiscounts up 14bp, FixedResets down 3bp and DeemedRetractibles off 2bp. The Performance Highlights table is surprisingly lengthy. Volume was very low, as might be expected on a half day.<\/p>\n<table border='1'>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='8'><strong>HIMIPref&trade; Preferred Indices<br \/>These values reflect the December 2008 revision
