Chicago Board of Trade Members: McLain Brothers Memo of Sale

Following yesterday's post on the McLain Brothers, David Thompson sent me this memo of sale.


McLain Brothers memo of sale: 
Appears to be 3 separate groupings at 3 different price points for 5 contracts each for the delivery of December wheat, presumably #2 wheat, to Weare Commission Company.  This was almost certainly a legal sale and trade, made on the floor and properly taxed, though it occured only weeks before the McLain brothers arrest.  Contract expiration straddled their arrest and suspension date.
