TO ALL APPLICANTS.

New York, March s.DAuthenticat-
ed reports that so-called bucket shops
had resumed operations in northern

tween the exchange and the Western
Union Telegraph Co. for distribution
Of stock quotations.
The Western Union has had the sole
right Of the sale of quotations to out
siders for many years, paying the ex-
change 100000 annually for the con-
cession.
The exchange purposes in its new
contract to bipd the Western Union
not to sell its quotations to any indi-
vidual, firm or corporation until the
exchange has approved the applica-
ton. The telegraph company has ex-
pressed willingness to comply with
this stipulation, which, in the judg-
ment of the exchange officials, would
effectually stop all stock quotation op-
.erations Of an Illicit character and
speedily drive existing offenders out
OF business. The old quotation contract
between the stock exchange and West
