Exchanges closed on Columbus Day

I recently posted a message which stated that there was a new exchange
holiday, Columbus Day. When I originally posted the message I mistakenly
thought it was going to be a regular holiday schedule. I did not realize
that the holiday would pertain only to specific categories of symbols on
certain exchanges. After more extensive research I have determined that it
would be best NOT to add Columbus Day to the Holiday List. 

If Columbus Day is added NO daily data will be collected for ANY exchange.
In this particular instance I would recommend deleting the data for those
symbols that are not traded since there are more exchanges which will remain
open for this holiday than will close. To delete data from the Omega Server:

1.	Use the File - Delete menu sequence to access the Delete Data
dialog.
2.	Enable the option for Daily Data only. (To disable the option for
Intra-day Data click on the check box to remove the check mark.)
3.	Enter the Start Date and End Date. (In this case, 10/12/98 for
both.)
4.	Select the appropriate symbols by highlighting them and clicking the
Add button to move them into the Data to Delete window.
5.	Once all necessary symbols are listed in the Data to Delete window
click OK to delete the data. 
6.	Confirm the deletion. 

The data will be deleted and you will return to the Server.

Below is the original message I received from the CME as well as information
gathered from the other exchanges. This information lists the holiday
schedule for the remainder of the year for the following exchanges: AMEX,
CME, CBOT, CSC, KCBT, MIDAM, NYSE, NYCE and NASDAQ. I apologize for any
confusion that I caused by posting my original message.
