On the strictly pool basis, the
buyer does not know the delivered
price to himself until all pool
orders are in, ingredient purchases
made, and production contracts
placed. Out Of consideration for
those who hesitate to order With
out first knowing the ultimate
price, the Exchange this year
offered the alternative ofbuying now
on the basis of current market
prices, for delivery later on. Inc
organization does not speculate, II
