WASHINGTON (MNI) - Because of past and anticipated snowfalls, the U.S. Census Bureau announced that instead of releasing the December Wholesale Trade report to news agencies in advance within the hour, so the data can be delivered at exactly 10:00:00 ET, it will be released only via the U.S. Census Bureau Web site, www.census.gov/wholesale/index.html. Therefore distribution of the data by all news services will lag behind the usual release time to some small degree.
