Subject	Change in Weather Contracts Holiday Trading Schedule
Notice Date	2004-02-10
Notice Number	04-17
Effective Date
At its recent meeting, the Board of Directors approved a proposal to change the holiday trading schedule for weather contracts. As a result, the closing time on Friday, February 13 for weather contracts will be 12:00 noon, Central Standard Time (CST), rather than the previously announced 3:15 p.m. (CST) close. This change comes at the request of market participants, so that the weather products’ trading hours more closely resemble those of the NYMEX energy contracts (rather than equities), because they are often traded in conjunction with the energy products.
