Director North Is particularly well

suit OF which was tabulated and given
70 the public on Monday morning at
10 O'Clock. Heretofore the result of this
investigation has been made known in
the afternoon about $3.50 O'Clock. This
practice was found to be unsatisfactory
fer several years
Under the present arrangement the
bureau is not troubled with possible
leakages. The clerks do not commence
to compile the reports until o'clock o..
the morning IN which the result Is male
known. The report reaches New York
officially by the time the stock ex-
changes are open fer the days business,
which makes it impossible that any one
could leak the information and profit
thereby.
The reports also reach the European
markets before the close Of business for
the day, which is said 70 be a very
much more satisfactory arrangement to
the business people abroad. some Of
whom suggested that such change be
made
