| Waterhouse painting owned by Cdn couple to go on auction block ...
TORONTO (CP) - A rare Edwardian-era painting that belongs to a Canadian couple is expected to fetch up to US$2.5 million at a Sotheby's auction in New York on Wednesday. The oil-on-canvas piece, called "Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May," was painted by well-known British artist John William Waterhouse in 1909 and depicts young women picking flowers in a meadow. The composition comes from the Robert Herrick poem of the same name. The painting was obtained by the unidentified Canadian couple in the early 1970s when they bought an Ontario estate and its entire contents - including the artwork. Sotheby's believes the painting wound up in the house after the previous home owners purchased it from a private Canadian collection. The original owner was Sir Brodie Haldane Henderson in Hertfordshire, England.

Shares of Mylan Laboratories Inc. rose nearly 7 percent yesterday on a court-ordered decision that the Food and Drug Administration not approve any more generic versions of Pfizer Inc.'s Norvasc until at least April 13. Mylan was the first to file for a generic version of Norvasc, a blood pressure drug, and was granted approval with a 180-day exclusivity period. It launched the generic version last week. The court order halting FDA generic approvals means only that Mylan and Pfizer will have their drugs on the market in the short term. Mylan shares settled back at the close, up $1.06, or 5.2 percent, at $21.28. Separately, Mylan said it had begun marketing ciprofloxacin extended-release tablets, the generic version of Bayer Pharmaceuticals' Cipro XR tablets. The drug is used to treat urinary tract infections.
