In all. tables, zero (0) is used instead of leaders where the market TI&S open but there was no trading.

Volume of TradinG

Each clearing melber of each contract market makes a dally report of al~ purchases and sales ot commodity futures.. A compilation of these reports gives the volume of trading in each commodi.ty tor each market for each day. Since in each 1Z'ansaction there are tw parties, one on the buying side and one on the sell­ :L"lg Side, the aggregate of all. purcruwes in one trading session is equal. to the aggregate of all sales. Volume of trading figures are the total of either purchases or sales, not of purchases and sales coroined.

In some markets two units of trading are used, the round lot (for example, ,,000 bushels) and the job lot (for example, 1,000 bushels) • In such C&S98 the trading in both lots is combined.

Open Contracts

A tuturea contract is said to be "open- when it has been entered into and not yet liquidated by an oftsEl'tting iz'ansaction nor fulfilled bY' delivery.

The amoWlt ot open contracts for each cOlllOl)dity and contract market is obtained each business day bY' a tabulation ot reports made by exchange clearing l11.~ers. The aggregate of all long open contracts reported bY' clear'.ng members equals the aggregate of all short open contracts reportedlJ The open contract figures shown are tor one side only, not the long and short sides Combined. Where there were open contracts in both rOWld and job lots, the totals of open contracts include both types•

For dates Oil wbich closing ranges were recorded the price shown is the average of the closing rangeo In other tablesfl the prices shown are the highest and the lowest recorded during aqy trading session in the specified period.

Contracts Settle.ld by Delivery
