5 CORN FUTURES 1936-1939
OLD AND NEW STYLE CONTRACTS
An order of amendment to the official grain Standards of the United States for corn was promulgated by the Acting Secretary of Agriculture on October 22 1936 effective January 20 1937 which changed the percentage of flint corn tolerance in the deliverable grades Accordingly on November 2 1936 the Chicago Board of Trade instituted trading in old style and new sty-Ie contracts for delivery in May 1937 and Tuly 1937 Trading 1ll old style contracts was terminated January 19 1937 except for such trades as were made to liquidate contracts then open
LIFE OF FUTURE
The life of a future is the period elapsing between the day the first trade is made in the future and the last day of its delivery month The volume of trading on the Chicago Board of Trade during the life of each of the principal futures maturing during the years Hl21-39 is presented in table 5 The data are given by months in table 6 for the years 1936-39
ROUND LOTS AND JOB LOTS
Data on the amolmt of the trading on the Chicago Board of Trade done in round lots (5000-bushel units) and in job lots (IOOO-bushel units) have been available since 1935 The monthly volume of tradinl in each with the percentages of the total volume is presented in tAble 7
CLASSES OF TRADERS
Since Augusi 2 1937 dl1ta have been available showing the daily purchases and sales of corn futures as well as the contracts open 011 all markets for all traders holding commitments amounting to 200000 bushels or more ill anyone future on anyone contract market The reports submitted bythese traders classify the character of the conshytracts held open as speculative spreading or hedging Separate tabulations are made of the transactions of those spreaders whose positions indicate that they are spreading between round lots and job lots and those who are spreading between futures or markets The monthly purchases ancI sales reported by those subject to the reporting requirement at Chicago aTe presented by classes of traders in table 9 The purchfises find sales of the fifth cluss namely the Ilonreporting or smull traders were obtained by subtracting the aggreshygate of the purchases and the aggregate of the sales of the reporting traders from the totnl volume of trading for all customers on the Chicago Board of Trade The monthly percentage of the total trnding that was done by each class of traders is presented in table 10 The purchases and sales made on other contmct markets and on foreign markets by traders subject to the reporting requirement at Chicago are presented in table 11
The net tlllde or the difference between the total purchases and totnJ sules of a class us presented in table 9 for uny single month mny be Imger or smaller than the chan~e in the net position of the same class for the same period as determmed from the net of the long and short commitments presented in tables 20 and 21 This is due mainly to the fact that traders are required to render reports showing their truding and commitments only during the time that they hold open contracts in flny one future amounting to 200000 bushels or

more At all other times their transactions are included in the class of nonreporting traders On the first day that a trnder is within the reporting requirement his report shows only the trades which he made on that day Therefore the increase in the aggagate commitshyments of a class of reporting traders caused by the inclusion of his open contrncts may be only partly accounted for by the trades which he reported for that day The same situation occurs on the day on whic~ a reporting traders commitments fall below the reporting requIrement
Prior to August 1937 traders subject to the reporting requirement were classified as speculators hedgers and spreaders The figures shown in til bles 20 and 22 follow this classification whidl also was used in presenting similar illformlltion in Statistical Bulletin No 55 BegiIl1ling with August 2 1937 each reporting trnder c1nssified his commitments as speculative spreading or hedging The data shown in tables 21 and 23 follo this clnssification
AVERAGES
With the exception of the first month ill the life of the future the monthly averages of the daily volume of ernding in the principal futures shown ill tables 14 to 17 are computed on the basis of the total number of trading days in the month whether or not tll1des were mnde in the future on ench day Those for the first month in the life of the future are bused on the numbel of trnding days remaining in the month after trnding began rhe monthly nverage of the daily volume of tmding in all futures combined is prescnted in tnble 13
OPEN CONTRACTS
Open-contmet datn relnting to a mnrket ns n whole represent the daily nggregate in thousnnds of bushels of the contracts held open at the close of the market ns reported by members of the dearing nssociation of the exchange For eneh open contract there is n long commitment and a short commitment so that the nggregate of the long commitments is the same as the aggregnte of the short comshymitments Deliyery mnde on n contrnct settles both the outstanding sale commitment nnd the purchase commitmnt Daily figures on open contracts are presenteltL in tnbles 38 to 42 for the lnrgest contract market the Chicago Board of Trade Figure 1 shows for each month the ayerage daily open contracts for the 16H-yeal period from July 1923 to December 1939 End-oC-week figures for the Minneapshyolis Chnmher of Commerce I1nd the Kunsns City Board of Trade nrc presClled in tables 26 and 27

CLASSES OF TRADERS
The daily aggregates of the long and the short commitmenY in Chicago corn futures held by each of the yarious classes of traders coming within the reporting requirements at Chicago during 1936-39 are shown in tables 20 and 21 Previous to August 2 1937 the commitments held by spreaders other than those spreading between round lots and job lots were included in the class of speculators Since that date however the commitments representing spreads between futures or markets are shown separately (table 21) The commit~ ments of the class of nonreporting smnll traders were obtained by sUbtracting the aggregate commitments (long and short respectively) of the reporting traders from the total commitments in Chicago corn futures The open trades of the nonreporting traders represent mainly speculation but also include some hedging
The percentage of the aggregate commitments held at the end of each week by the various classes of traders during 1936-39 is shown in tables 22 and 23
DELIVERIES
The comparison between the volume of trading during the life of the future and the amount of contracts settled by delivery is shown in the table 24 for each of the principal Chicago futures from December 1930 to December 1939 Effective with the 1935 December future the rules of the Chicago Board of Trade were amended to require one days notice of intention to delivaI As a result traders receiving notice of delivery prior to the close of the market may make a con~ tract of sale in the pit to offset the long commitment on which the notice WflS received and pass the notice back to the clearing associ~ ation with memoramhm of the sale In table 24 contracts so settled are shown separately and are not included in the total of contracts settled by delivery In Statistical Bulletin No 55 tho contracts on which notices were passed wero included in contracts settled by deliyery for the 1935 December future
PRICES
Price data presented are compiled from the official quotations of the Chicago Board of Trade occasionally supplemented by information obtained rom brokerage houses Early in the life of a future when trading is light a few trades may be made which do not come to the attention of the quotation department of the exchange und therefore the prices are not entered in the official price records In such instances pric~s have been secured directly from the brokers by the Commodity Exchange Administration whenever possible and are included in this bulletin
The daily opening high low and closing prices paid for the May Jllly September Rnd December com futures on the Cllicngo Boald of lrude und the net change in the closing price from dtlY to day are given in tables 39 to 42 Tilt duilynet cbnnge in price is determined by obtllining the difference between tbe flvernge of the closing price range of the future on one dny amI that of the previous dny fl net ndvance being indicilted by a plus 15ign nnd It net decline by a minus sign OJ) some dnys when the limit of iiuctul1tion permitted under the rules of the Chicago Board of Trade was renched the net price change determined as described above varied one-eighth eent from
8 STATISTICAL BULLETIN 74 U S DEPT OF AGRlOULTUlffi
the permissible limit as computed by the Ohicago Board of Trade In these instances the net change shown in the various tables has been adjusted arbitrarily in order to conform with the official record of limits reached
The duily net change in price from close to close may be considered as consisting of the sum of the ovemight chflnge (the difference beshytween the average close OIl one day and the average opening price on the following business day) und the Llet opening-to-close change The monthly aggregates of the daily net opening-to-close advances and declines in the price of the dominant future during 1924 to 1939 are shown in table 30 The net change in price of the dominant future for the month the monthly net of the daily opening-toshyclose changls and the ovemight chan5es for the same period are presented in tabJe 31
The hi~h and low prices the range and the average daily range in price durlIlg the life of each of the principal futures maturing during 1921 to 1939 are given in table 32 Monthly data from July 1935 to December 1939 for the principal futures are presented in tablefl 33 to 36
OPENING PRICE RANGE
The opening range in price of a future on the Ohicago Board of Trade includes the prices paid at 930 a m the opening time and such time thereafter usuaJ]y not more thm a few minutes as is required for the execution of orders to buy or se11 at the opening The hours for trading for futurEJ delivery of grain on the Ohicago Board of Trade are from 930 a m to 115 p m except on Saturdays when the market closes at 12 noon For a short period i e Sepshytember 28 to November 16 1936 the hours were from 1015 a m to 2 p m except Saturdays when they were from 1015 a m to 1230 p m
mGHS AND LOWS
The highest and lowest prices paid durulg the tradrng session are presented in the daily data for the prulcipal futures in tables 39 to 42 Bid or (tasked quotations which are above or below the highest or lowest prices paid for the future are recorded as official highs or lows provided they have been quoted folloving a trade Although the bid and asked quotations arl so designated when they are sent out on the public wires during the trading session they are not indicated as such in the official high and lew quotations
CLOSING PRICES
The closing prKce mnge usually consists of the prices paid at 115 p m (12 m on Saturdays) Howevor when a broker has a large order to fill reading lito buy (or sell) at the close he may notify the exchange r~presentatiye accordingly and all trades mnde by him shortly before and at 115 p m are mcluded in the closing mnge for the day Bid ot asked quotations at 115 p m are included in the official closing mnge designated by the letteS lib for bid and a for asked
Early in the life of a future v~ry few closing prices will be found in the records owing to the fact that the few trades made seldom occur at or near the close of the market
9 CORN FUTURES 1936-1939
IJMITATION OF FLUCTUATIONS
The Chicago Board of Trade adopted rule No 1823 on October 15 1935 prohibiting trading during any day in futures contracts of com at a price more than 4 cents higher or lower than the closing price on the previous business day On August 31 1936 the rule was amended to permit an advance or decline of 8 cents from the previous close on transactions in the future deliverable in the current month The 4-cent limit remained in effect on all other futures The difference in limits on the cunent and deferred futures however brought about an unnatural relationship between futures when prices advanced precipitously following Germanys invasion of Poland Therefore on September 5 1939 before the opening of the trading session the directors of the Chicago Board of Trade under the provisions of rule 251 declared that an emergency existed and ordered that no trading be done on that day in the September corn future at prices higher than 53 cents 4 cents above the previous close or lower than 45 cents 4 cents below the previous close At the same time regulation No 1823 was amended effective September 6 1939 prohibiting trading in any com future at a price more than 4 cents higher or lower than the closing price on the previous day This was in effect for only 1 day Effective September 7 1939 regulation No 1823 was amended to prohibit trading in any com future at a price more than 8 cents higher or lower than the closing price on the previous business day The days on which the price of corn futures -on the Chicago Board of Trade advanced or declined to the limit permitted during 1936-39 are shown in table 29
AVERAGES
Only the official prices sent out over the public wires are used in the compufuation of the monthly averages of daily closing prices and ranges as rhown in tables 33 to 36 The prices recorded early in the life of a fllture previous to the time that the quotations committee of the Chicago Board of Trade directs thnt quotations are to be sent out on the public wires have not been used in the average calculations Since the trading during these periods is intermittent there are very fev quotations recorded and inclusion of these partial data might distort fhe averages

5 CORN FUTURES 1936-1939
OLD AND NEW STYLE CONTRACTS
An order of amendment to the official grain Standards of the United States for corn was promulgated by the Acting Secretary of Agriculture on October 22 1936 effective January 20 1937 which changed the percentage of flint corn tolerance in the deliverable grades Accordingly on November 2 1936 the Chicago Board of Trade instituted trading in old style and new sty-Ie contracts for delivery in May 1937 and Tuly 1937 Trading 1ll old style contracts was terminated January 19 1937 except for such trades as were made to liquidate contracts then open
LIFE OF FUTURE
The life of a future is the period elapsing between the day the first trade is made in the future and the last day of its delivery month The volume of trading on the Chicago Board of Trade during the life of each of the principal futures maturing during the years Hl21-39 is presented in table 5 The data are given by months in table 6 for the years 1936-39
ROUND LOTS AND JOB LOTS
Data on the amolmt of the trading on the Chicago Board of Trade done in round lots (5000-bushel units) and in job lots (IOOO-bushel units) have been available since 1935 The monthly volume of tradinl in each with the percentages of the total volume is presented in tAble 7
CLASSES OF TRADERS
Since Augusi 2 1937 dl1ta have been available showing the daily purchases and sales of corn futures as well as the contracts open 011 all markets for all traders holding commitments amounting to 200000 bushels or more ill anyone future on anyone contract market The reports submitted bythese traders classify the character of the conshytracts held open as speculative spreading or hedging Separate tabulations are made of the transactions of those spreaders whose positions indicate that they are spreading between round lots and job lots and those who are spreading between futures or markets The monthly purchases ancI sales reported by those subject to the reporting requirement at Chicago aTe presented by classes of traders in table 9 The purchfises find sales of the fifth cluss namely the Ilonreporting or smull traders were obtained by subtracting the aggreshygate of the purchases and the aggregate of the sales of the reporting traders from the totnl volume of trading for all customers on the Chicago Board of Trade The monthly percentage of the total trnding that was done by each class of traders is presented in table 10 The purchases and sales made on other contmct markets and on foreign markets by traders subject to the reporting requirement at Chicago are presented in table 11
The net tlllde or the difference between the total purchases and totnJ sules of a class us presented in table 9 for uny single month mny be Imger or smaller than the chan~e in the net position of the same class for the same period as determmed from the net of the long and short commitments presented in tables 20 and 21 This is due mainly to the fact that traders are required to render reports showing their truding and commitments only during the time that they hold open contracts in flny one future amounting to 200000 bushels or

more At all other times their transactions are included in the class of nonreporting traders On the first day that a trnder is within the reporting requirement his report shows only the trades which he made on that day Therefore the increase in the aggagate commitshyments of a class of reporting traders caused by the inclusion of his open contrncts may be only partly accounted for by the trades which he reported for that day The same situation occurs on the day on whic~ a reporting traders commitments fall below the reporting requIrement
Prior to August 1937 traders subject to the reporting requirement were classified as speculators hedgers and spreaders The figures shown in til bles 20 and 22 follow this classification whidl also was used in presenting similar illformlltion in Statistical Bulletin No 55 BegiIl1ling with August 2 1937 each reporting trnder c1nssified his commitments as speculative spreading or hedging The data shown in tables 21 and 23 follo this clnssification
AVERAGES
With the exception of the first month ill the life of the future the monthly averages of the daily volume of ernding in the principal futures shown ill tables 14 to 17 are computed on the basis of the total number of trading days in the month whether or not tll1des were mnde in the future on ench day Those for the first month in the life of the future are bused on the numbel of trnding days remaining in the month after trnding began rhe monthly nverage of the daily volume of tmding in all futures combined is prescnted in tnble 13

CLASSES OF TRADERS
The daily aggregates of the long and the short commitmenY in Chicago corn futures held by each of the yarious classes of traders coming within the reporting requirements at Chicago during 1936-39 are shown in tables 20 and 21 Previous to August 2 1937 the commitments held by spreaders other than those spreading between round lots and job lots were included in the class of speculators Since that date however the commitments representing spreads between futures or markets are shown separately (table 21) The commit~ ments of the class of nonreporting smnll traders were obtained by sUbtracting the aggregate commitments (long and short respectively) of the reporting traders from the total commitments in Chicago corn futures The open trades of the nonreporting traders represent mainly speculation but also include some hedging
The percentage of the aggregate commitments held at the end of each week by the various classes of traders during 1936-39 is shown in tables 22 and 23
DELIVERIES
The comparison between the volume of trading during the life of the future and the amount of contracts settled by delivery is shown in the table 24 for each of the principal Chicago futures from December 1930 to December 1939 Effective with the 1935 December future the rules of the Chicago Board of Trade were amended to require one days notice of intention to delivaI As a result traders receiving notice of delivery prior to the close of the market may make a con~ tract of sale in the pit to offset the long commitment on which the notice WflS received and pass the notice back to the clearing associ~ ation with memoramhm of the sale In table 24 contracts so settled are shown separately and are not included in the total of contracts settled by delivery In Statistical Bulletin No 55 tho contracts on which notices were passed wero included in contracts settled by deliyery for the 1935 December future
PRICES
Price data presented are compiled from the official quotations of the Chicago Board of Trade occasionally supplemented by information obtained rom brokerage houses Early in the life of a future when trading is light a few trades may be made which do not come to the attention of the quotation department of the exchange und therefore the prices are not entered in the official price records In such instances pric~s have been secured directly from the brokers by the Commodity Exchange Administration whenever possible and are included in this bulletin
The daily opening high low and closing prices paid for the May Jllly September Rnd December com futures on the Cllicngo Boald of lrude und the net change in the closing price from dtlY to day are given in tables 39 to 42 Tilt duilynet cbnnge in price is determined by obtllining the difference between tbe flvernge of the closing price range of the future on one dny amI that of the previous dny fl net ndvance being indicilted by a plus 15ign nnd It net decline by a minus sign OJ) some dnys when the limit of iiuctul1tion permitted under the rules of the Chicago Board of Trade was renched the net price change determined as described above varied one-eighth eent from

the permissible limit as computed by the Ohicago Board of Trade In these instances the net change shown in the various tables has been adjusted arbitrarily in order to conform with the official record of limits reached
The duily net change in price from close to close may be considered as consisting of the sum of the ovemight chflnge (the difference beshytween the average close OIl one day and the average opening price on the following business day) und the Llet opening-to-close change The monthly aggregates of the daily net opening-to-close advances and declines in the price of the dominant future during 1924 to 1939 are shown in table 30 The net change in price of the dominant future for the month the monthly net of the daily opening-toshyclose changls and the ovemight chan5es for the same period are presented in tabJe 31
The hi~h and low prices the range and the average daily range in price durlIlg the life of each of the principal futures maturing during 1921 to 1939 are given in table 32 Monthly data from July 1935 to December 1939 for the principal futures are presented in tablefl 33 to 36
OPENING PRICE RANGE
The opening range in price of a future on the Ohicago Board of Trade includes the prices paid at 930 a m the opening time and such time thereafter usuaJ]y not more thm a few minutes as is required for the execution of orders to buy or se11 at the opening The hours for trading for futurEJ delivery of grain on the Ohicago Board of Trade are from 930 a m to 115 p m except on Saturdays when the market closes at 12 noon For a short period i e Sepshytember 28 to November 16 1936 the hours were from 1015 a m to 2 p m except Saturdays when they were from 1015 a m to 1230 p m
mGHS AND LOWS
The highest and lowest prices paid durulg the tradrng session are presented in the daily data for the prulcipal futures in tables 39 to 42 Bid or (tasked quotations which are above or below the highest or lowest prices paid for the future are recorded as official highs or lows provided they have been quoted folloving a trade Although the bid and asked quotations arl so designated when they are sent out on the public wires during the trading session they are not indicated as such in the official high and lew quotations
CLOSING PRICES
The closing prKce mnge usually consists of the prices paid at 115 p m (12 m on Saturdays) Howevor when a broker has a large order to fill reading lito buy (or sell) at the close he may notify the exchange r~presentatiye accordingly and all trades mnde by him shortly before and at 115 p m are mcluded in the closing mnge for the day Bid ot asked quotations at 115 p m are included in the official closing mnge designated by the letteS lib for bid and a for asked
Early in the life of a future v~ry few closing prices will be found in the records owing to the fact that the few trades made seldom occur at or near the close of the market
9 CORN FUTURES 1936-1939
IJMITATION OF FLUCTUATIONS
The Chicago Board of Trade adopted rule No 1823 on October 15 1935 prohibiting trading during any day in futures contracts of com at a price more than 4 cents higher or lower than the closing price on the previous business day On August 31 1936 the rule was amended to permit an advance or decline of 8 cents from the previous close on transactions in the future deliverable in the current month The 4-cent limit remained in effect on all other futures The difference in limits on the cunent and deferred futures however brought about an unnatural relationship between futures when prices advanced precipitously following Germanys invasion of Poland Therefore on September 5 1939 before the opening of the trading session the directors of the Chicago Board of Trade under the provisions of rule 251 declared that an emergency existed and ordered that no trading be done on that day in the September corn future at prices higher than 53 cents 4 cents above the previous close or lower than 45 cents 4 cents below the previous close At the same time regulation No 1823 was amended effective September 6 1939 prohibiting trading in any com future at a price more than 4 cents higher or lower than the closing price on the previous day This was in effect for only 1 day Effective September 7 1939 regulation No 1823 was amended to prohibit trading in any com future at a price more than 8 cents higher or lower than the closing price on the previous business day The days on which the price of corn futures -on the Chicago Board of Trade advanced or declined to the limit permitted during 1936-39 are shown in table 29
AVERAGES
Only the official prices sent out over the public wires are used in the compufuation of the monthly averages of daily closing prices and ranges as rhown in tables 33 to 36 The prices recorded early in the life of a fllture previous to the time that the quotations committee of the Chicago Board of Trade directs thnt quotations are to be sent out on the public wires have not been used in the average calculations Since the trading during these periods is intermittent there are very fev quotations recorded and inclusion of these partial data might distort fhe averages

5 CORN FUTURES 1936-1939
OLD AND NEW STYLE CONTRACTS
An order of amendment to the official grain Standards of the United States for corn was promulgated by the Acting Secretary of Agriculture on October 22 1936 effective January 20 1937 which changed the percentage of flint corn tolerance in the deliverable grades Accordingly on November 2 1936 the Chicago Board of Trade instituted trading in old style and new sty-Ie contracts for delivery in May 1937 and Tuly 1937 Trading 1ll old style contracts was terminated January 19 1937 except for such trades as were made to liquidate contracts then open
LIFE OF FUTURE
The life of a future is the period elapsing between the day the first trade is made in the future and the last day of its delivery month The volume of trading on the Chicago Board of Trade during the life of each of the principal futures maturing during the years Hl21-39 is presented in table 5 The data are given by months in table 6 for the years 1936-39
ROUND LOTS AND JOB LOTS
Data on the amolmt of the trading on the Chicago Board of Trade done in round lots (5000-bushel units) and in job lots (IOOO-bushel units) have been available since 1935 The monthly volume of tradinl in each with the percentages of the total volume is presented in tAble 7
CLASSES OF TRADERS
Since Augusi 2 1937 dl1ta have been available showing the daily purchases and sales of corn futures as well as the contracts open 011 all markets for all traders holding commitments amounting to 200000 bushels or more ill anyone future on anyone contract market The reports submitted bythese traders classify the character of the conshytracts held open as speculative spreading or hedging Separate tabulations are made of the transactions of those spreaders whose positions indicate that they are spreading between round lots and job lots and those who are spreading between futures or markets The monthly purchases ancI sales reported by those subject to the reporting requirement at Chicago aTe presented by classes of traders in table 9 The purchfises find sales of the fifth cluss namely the Ilonreporting or smull traders were obtained by subtracting the aggreshygate of the purchases and the aggregate of the sales of the reporting traders from the totnl volume of trading for all customers on the Chicago Board of Trade The monthly percentage of the total trnding that was done by each class of traders is presented in table 10 The purchases and sales made on other contmct markets and on foreign markets by traders subject to the reporting requirement at Chicago are presented in table 11
The net tlllde or the difference between the total purchases and totnJ sules of a class us presented in table 9 for uny single month mny be Imger or smaller than the chan~e in the net position of the same class for the same period as determmed from the net of the long and short commitments presented in tables 20 and 21 This is due mainly to the fact that traders are required to render reports showing their truding and commitments only during the time that they hold open contracts in flny one future amounting to 200000 bushels or

more At all other times their transactions are included in the class of nonreporting traders On the first day that a trnder is within the reporting requirement his report shows only the trades which he made on that day Therefore the increase in the aggagate commitshyments of a class of reporting traders caused by the inclusion of his open contrncts may be only partly accounted for by the trades which he reported for that day The same situation occurs on the day on whic~ a reporting traders commitments fall below the reporting requIrement
Prior to August 1937 traders subject to the reporting requirement were classified as speculators hedgers and spreaders The figures shown in til bles 20 and 22 follow this classification whidl also was used in presenting similar illformlltion in Statistical Bulletin No 55 BegiIl1ling with August 2 1937 each reporting trnder c1nssified his commitments as speculative spreading or hedging The data shown in tables 21 and 23 follo this clnssification
AVERAGES
With the exception of the first month ill the life of the future the monthly averages of the daily volume of ernding in the principal futures shown ill tables 14 to 17 are computed on the basis of the total number of trading days in the month whether or not tll1des were mnde in the future on ench day Those for the first month in the life of the future are bused on the numbel of trnding days remaining in the month after trnding began rhe monthly nverage of the daily volume of tmding in all futures combined is prescnted in tnble 13

CLASSES OF TRADERS
The daily aggregates of the long and the short commitmenY in Chicago corn futures held by each of the yarious classes of traders coming within the reporting requirements at Chicago during 1936-39 are shown in tables 20 and 21 Previous to August 2 1937 the commitments held by spreaders other than those spreading between round lots and job lots were included in the class of speculators Since that date however the commitments representing spreads between futures or markets are shown separately (table 21) The commit~ ments of the class of nonreporting smnll traders were obtained by sUbtracting the aggregate commitments (long and short respectively) of the reporting traders from the total commitments in Chicago corn futures The open trades of the nonreporting traders represent mainly speculation but also include some hedging
The percentage of the aggregate commitments held at the end of each week by the various classes of traders during 1936-39 is shown in tables 22 and 23
DELIVERIES
The comparison between the volume of trading during the life of the future and the amount of contracts settled by delivery is shown in the table 24 for each of the principal Chicago futures from December 1930 to December 1939 Effective with the 1935 December future the rules of the Chicago Board of Trade were amended to require one days notice of intention to delivaI As a result traders receiving notice of delivery prior to the close of the market may make a con~ tract of sale in the pit to offset the long commitment on which the notice WflS received and pass the notice back to the clearing associ~ ation with memoramhm of the sale In table 24 contracts so settled are shown separately and are not included in the total of contracts settled by delivery In Statistical Bulletin No 55 tho contracts on which notices were passed wero included in contracts settled by deliyery for the 1935 December future
PRICES
Price data presented are compiled from the official quotations of the Chicago Board of Trade occasionally supplemented by information obtained rom brokerage houses Early in the life of a future when trading is light a few trades may be made which do not come to the attention of the quotation department of the exchange und therefore the prices are not entered in the official price records In such instances pric~s have been secured directly from the brokers by the Commodity Exchange Administration whenever possible and are included in this bulletin
The daily opening high low and closing prices paid for the May Jllly September Rnd December com futures on the Cllicngo Boald of lrude und the net change in the closing price from dtlY to day are given in tables 39 to 42 Tilt duilynet cbnnge in price is determined by obtllining the difference between tbe flvernge of the closing price range of the future on one dny amI that of the previous dny fl net ndvance being indicilted by a plus 15ign nnd It net decline by a minus sign OJ) some dnys when the limit of iiuctul1tion permitted under the rules of the Chicago Board of Trade was renched the net price change determined as described above varied one-eighth eent from

the permissible limit as computed by the Ohicago Board of Trade In these instances the net change shown in the various tables has been adjusted arbitrarily in order to conform with the official record of limits reached
The duily net change in price from close to close may be considered as consisting of the sum of the ovemight chflnge (the difference beshytween the average close OIl one day and the average opening price on the following business day) und the Llet opening-to-close change The monthly aggregates of the daily net opening-to-close advances and declines in the price of the dominant future during 1924 to 1939 are shown in table 30 The net change in price of the dominant future for the month the monthly net of the daily opening-toshyclose changls and the ovemight chan5es for the same period are presented in tabJe 31
The hi~h and low prices the range and the average daily range in price durlIlg the life of each of the principal futures maturing during 1921 to 1939 are given in table 32 Monthly data from July 1935 to December 1939 for the principal futures are presented in tablefl 33 to 36
OPENING PRICE RANGE
The opening range in price of a future on the Ohicago Board of Trade includes the prices paid at 930 a m the opening time and such time thereafter usuaJ]y not more thm a few minutes as is required for the execution of orders to buy or se11 at the opening The hours for trading for futurEJ delivery of grain on the Ohicago Board of Trade are from 930 a m to 115 p m except on Saturdays when the market closes at 12 noon For a short period i e Sepshytember 28 to November 16 1936 the hours were from 1015 a m to 2 p m except Saturdays when they were from 1015 a m to 1230 p m
mGHS AND LOWS
The highest and lowest prices paid durulg the tradrng session are presented in the daily data for the prulcipal futures in tables 39 to 42 Bid or (tasked quotations which are above or below the highest or lowest prices paid for the future are recorded as official highs or lows provided they have been quoted folloving a trade Although the bid and asked quotations arl so designated when they are sent out on the public wires during the trading session they are not indicated as such in the official high and lew quotations
CLOSING PRICES
The closing prKce mnge usually consists of the prices paid at 115 p m (12 m on Saturdays) Howevor when a broker has a large order to fill reading lito buy (or sell) at the close he may notify the exchange r~presentatiye accordingly and all trades mnde by him shortly before and at 115 p m are mcluded in the closing mnge for the day Bid ot asked quotations at 115 p m are included in the official closing mnge designated by the letteS lib for bid and a for asked
Early in the life of a future v~ry few closing prices will be found in the records owing to the fact that the few trades made seldom occur at or near the close of the market
9 CORN FUTURES 1936-1939
IJMITATION OF FLUCTUATIONS
The Chicago Board of Trade adopted rule No 1823 on October 15 1935 prohibiting trading during any day in futures contracts of com at a price more than 4 cents higher or lower than the closing price on the previous business day On August 31 1936 the rule was amended to permit an advance or decline of 8 cents from the previous close on transactions in the future deliverable in the current month The 4-cent limit remained in effect on all other futures The difference in limits on the cunent and deferred futures however brought about an unnatural relationship between futures when prices advanced precipitously following Germanys invasion of Poland Therefore on September 5 1939 before the opening of the trading session the directors of the Chicago Board of Trade under the provisions of rule 251 declared that an emergency existed and ordered that no trading be done on that day in the September corn future at prices higher than 53 cents 4 cents above the previous close or lower than 45 cents 4 cents below the previous close At the same time regulation No 1823 was amended effective September 6 1939 prohibiting trading in any com future at a price more than 4 cents higher or lower than the closing price on the previous day This was in effect for only 1 day Effective September 7 1939 regulation No 1823 was amended to prohibit trading in any com future at a price more than 8 cents higher or lower than the closing price on the previous business day The days on which the price of corn futures -on the Chicago Board of Trade advanced or declined to the limit permitted during 1936-39 are shown in table 29
AVERAGES
Only the official prices sent out over the public wires are used in the compufuation of the monthly averages of daily closing prices and ranges as rhown in tables 33 to 36 The prices recorded early in the life of a fllture previous to the time that the quotations committee of the Chicago Board of Trade directs thnt quotations are to be sent out on the public wires have not been used in the average calculations Since the trading during these periods is intermittent there are very fev quotations recorded and inclusion of these partial data might distort fhe averages

OLD AND NEW STYLE CONTRACTS
An order of amendment to the official grain Standards of the United States for corn was promulgated by the Acting Secretary of Agriculture on October 22 1936 effective January 20 1937 which changed the percentage of flint corn tolerance in the deliverable grades Accordingly on November 2 1936 the Chicago Board of Trade instituted trading in old style and new sty-Ie contracts for delivery in May 1937 and Tuly 1937 Trading 1ll old style contracts was terminated January 19 1937 except for such trades as were made to liquidate contracts then open
LIFE OF FUTURE
The life of a future is the period elapsing between the day the first trade is made in the future and the last day of its delivery month The volume of trading on the Chicago Board of Trade during the life of each of the principal futures maturing during the years Hl21-39 is presented in table 5 The data are given by months in table 6 for the years 1936-39
ROUND LOTS AND JOB LOTS
Data on the amolmt of the trading on the Chicago Board of Trade done in round lots (5000-bushel units) and in job lots (IOOO-bushel units) have been available since 1935 The monthly volume of tradinl in each with the percentages of the total volume is presented in tAble 7
CLASSES OF TRADERS
Since Augusi 2 1937 dl1ta have been available showing the daily purchases and sales of corn futures as well as the contracts open 011 all markets for all traders holding commitments amounting to 200000 bushels or more ill anyone future on anyone contract market The reports submitted bythese traders classify the character of the conshytracts held open as speculative spreading or hedging Separate tabulations are made of the transactions of those spreaders whose positions indicate that they are spreading between round lots and job lots and those who are spreading between futures or markets The monthly purchases ancI sales reported by those subject to the reporting requirement at Chicago aTe presented by classes of traders in table 9 The purchfises find sales of the fifth cluss namely the Ilonreporting or smull traders were obtained by subtracting the aggreshygate of the purchases and the aggregate of the sales of the reporting traders from the totnl volume of trading for all customers on the Chicago Board of Trade The monthly percentage of the total trnding that was done by each class of traders is presented in table 10 The purchases and sales made on other contmct markets and on foreign markets by traders subject to the reporting requirement at Chicago are presented in table 11
The net tlllde or the difference between the total purchases and totnJ sules of a class us presented in table 9 for uny single month mny be Imger or smaller than the chan~e in the net position of the same class for the same period as determmed from the net of the long and short commitments presented in tables 20 and 21 This is due mainly to the fact that traders are required to render reports showing their truding and commitments only during the time that they hold open contracts in flny one future amounting to 200000 bushels or

more At all other times their transactions are included in the class of nonreporting traders On the first day that a trnder is within the reporting requirement his report shows only the trades which he made on that day Therefore the increase in the aggagate commitshyments of a class of reporting traders caused by the inclusion of his open contrncts may be only partly accounted for by the trades which he reported for that day The same situation occurs on the day on whic~ a reporting traders commitments fall below the reporting requIrement

CLASSES OF TRADERS
The daily aggregates of the long and the short commitmenY in Chicago corn futures held by each of the yarious classes of traders coming within the reporting requirements at Chicago during 1936-39 are shown in tables 20 and 21 Previous to August 2 1937 the commitments held by spreaders other than those spreading between round lots and job lots were included in the class of speculators Since that date however the commitments representing spreads between futures or markets are shown separately (table 21) The commit~ ments of the class of nonreporting smnll traders were obtained by sUbtracting the aggregate commitments (long and short respectively) of the reporting traders from the total commitments in Chicago corn futures The open trades of the nonreporting traders represent mainly speculation but also include some hedging
The percentage of the aggregate commitments held at the end of each week by the various classes of traders during 1936-39 is shown in tables 22 and 23
DELIVERIES
The comparison between the volume of trading during the life of the future and the amount of contracts settled by delivery is shown in the table 24 for each of the principal Chicago futures from December 1930 to December 1939 Effective with the 1935 December future the rules of the Chicago Board of Trade were amended to require one days notice of intention to delivaI As a result traders receiving notice of delivery prior to the close of the market may make a con~ tract of sale in the pit to offset the long commitment on which the notice WflS received and pass the notice back to the clearing associ~ ation with memoramhm of the sale In table 24 contracts so settled are shown separately and are not included in the total of contracts settled by delivery In Statistical Bulletin No 55 tho contracts on which notices were passed wero included in contracts settled by deliyery for the 1935 December future
PRICES
Price data presented are compiled from the official quotations of the Chicago Board of Trade occasionally supplemented by information obtained rom brokerage houses Early in the life of a future when trading is light a few trades may be made which do not come to the attention of the quotation department of the exchange und therefore the prices are not entered in the official price records In such instances pric~s have been secured directly from the brokers by the Commodity Exchange Administration whenever possible and are included in this bulletin
The daily opening high low and closing prices paid for the May Jllly September Rnd December com futures on the Cllicngo Boald of lrude und the net change in the closing price from dtlY to day are given in tables 39 to 42 Tilt duilynet cbnnge in price is determined by obtllining the difference between tbe flvernge of the closing price range of the future on one dny amI that of the previous dny fl net ndvance being indicilted by a plus 15ign nnd It net decline by a minus sign OJ) some dnys when the limit of iiuctul1tion permitted under the rules of the Chicago Board of Trade was renched the net price change determined as described above varied one-eighth eent from

the permissible limit as computed by the Ohicago Board of Trade In these instances the net change shown in the various tables has been adjusted arbitrarily in order to conform with the official record of limits reached
The duily net change in price from close to close may be considered as consisting of the sum of the ovemight chflnge (the difference beshytween the average close OIl one day and the average opening price on the following business day) und the Llet opening-to-close change The monthly aggregates of the daily net opening-to-close advances and declines in the price of the dominant future during 1924 to 1939 are shown in table 30 The net change in price of the dominant future for the month the monthly net of the daily opening-toshyclose changls and the ovemight chan5es for the same period are presented in tabJe 31
The hi~h and low prices the range and the average daily range in price durlIlg the life of each of the principal futures maturing during 1921 to 1939 are given in table 32 Monthly data from July 1935 to December 1939 for the principal futures are presented in tablefl 33 to 36
OPENING PRICE RANGE
The opening range in price of a future on the Ohicago Board of Trade includes the prices paid at 930 a m the opening time and such time thereafter usuaJ]y not more thm a few minutes as is required for the execution of orders to buy or se11 at the opening The hours for trading for futurEJ delivery of grain on the Ohicago Board of Trade are from 930 a m to 115 p m except on Saturdays when the market closes at 12 noon For a short period i e Sepshytember 28 to November 16 1936 the hours were from 1015 a m to 2 p m except Saturdays when they were from 1015 a m to 1230 p m
mGHS AND LOWS
The highest and lowest prices paid durulg the tradrng session are presented in the daily data for the prulcipal futures in tables 39 to 42 Bid or (tasked quotations which are above or below the highest or lowest prices paid for the future are recorded as official highs or lows provided they have been quoted folloving a trade Although the bid and asked quotations arl so designated when they are sent out on the public wires during the trading session they are not indicated as such in the official high and lew quotations
CLOSING PRICES
The closing prKce mnge usually consists of the prices paid at 115 p m (12 m on Saturdays) Howevor when a broker has a large order to fill reading lito buy (or sell) at the close he may notify the exchange r~presentatiye accordingly and all trades mnde by him shortly before and at 115 p m are mcluded in the closing mnge for the day Bid ot asked quotations at 115 p m are included in the official closing mnge designated by the letteS lib for bid and a for asked
Early in the life of a future v~ry few closing prices will be found in the records owing to the fact that the few trades made seldom occur at or near the close of the market
9 CORN FUTURES 1936-1939
IJMITATION OF FLUCTUATIONS
The Chicago Board of Trade adopted rule No 1823 on October 15 1935 prohibiting trading during any day in futures contracts of com at a price more than 4 cents higher or lower than the closing price on the previous business day On August 31 1936 the rule was amended to permit an advance or decline of 8 cents from the previous close on transactions in the future deliverable in the current month The 4-cent limit remained in effect on all other futures The difference in limits on the cunent and deferred futures however brought about an unnatural relationship between futures when prices advanced precipitously following Germanys invasion of Poland Therefore on September 5 1939 before the opening of the trading session the directors of the Chicago Board of Trade under the provisions of rule 251 declared that an emergency existed and ordered that no trading be done on that day in the September corn future at prices higher than 53 cents 4 cents above the previous close or lower than 45 cents 4 cents below the previous close At the same time regulation No 1823 was amended effective September 6 1939 prohibiting trading in any com future at a price more than 4 cents higher or lower than the closing price on the previous day This was in effect for only 1 day Effective September 7 1939 regulation No 1823 was amended to prohibit trading in any com future at a price more than 8 cents higher or lower than the closing price on the previous business day The days on which the price of corn futures -on the Chicago Board of Trade advanced or declined to the limit permitted during 1936-39 are shown in table 29
AVERAGES
Only the official prices sent out over the public wires are used in the compufuation of the monthly averages of daily closing prices and ranges as rhown in tables 33 to 36 The prices recorded early in the life of a fllture previous to the time that the quotations committee of the Chicago Board of Trade directs thnt quotations are to be sent out on the public wires have not been used in the average calculations Since the trading during these periods is intermittent there are very fev quotations recorded and inclusion of these partial data might distort fhe averages
