has been done by the Western Union
telegraph company , which had a force of

company as a common carrier | ; was un
able to resist discrimination in this news ,
and the consequence was the board ot
trade was unable to prevent the bucket
shops from receiving the quotation. It
tvos with a view to cutting off those
bucket shops that the board took the
business outof the hands of the Western
Union , contracting with it merely for
the transmission or meamgos to points
