Board of Trade Lore and Inside Speculation Tactics
A historic critique of Chicago Board of Trade practices describes how brokers treat members as credit partners, the boycotting of rival traders, and the use of small brokers to mask trades. It recounts insider schemes, alleged favoritism in May wheat, and a humorous incident of misused authority over St Paul trades, plus operational details of the trading hall and wash room routines.
