thread_title:  Simplification please 

message: Futures exchanges, or organizations trading contracts serving essentially the same purpose, existed before the dates given.  There were active exchanges for example in Britain for cotton, in Germany and France for coffee and for grain in Buffalo New York. I added a link of futures clearinghouses providing sources.  As these sources are secondary and I do not know whether secondary sources are accepted by this community, I have not revised the text.
A rice exchange in Japan was active as early as the 17th century. Dojima Exchange
Osaka stock exchange indeed claim that futures were born around 1650 in osaka. The World and Osaka's Market 2005 (last page).
The date given for the Chicago Mercantile Exchange is incorrect.  In 1898 it was named the Butter and Egg Exchange becoming the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in 1919. see CME To my knowledge, that exchange was never named the Chicago Produce Exchange. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.178.158.220 (talk • contribs) 20:02, 9 July 2005
A Produce Exchange is a type of exchange that is used in a general classification, and it never was the name of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/1011632.pdf  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goldfish06 (talk • contribs) 09:24, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Historical accuracy 

message: What's the deal with the paragraph that begins "In 1881, a regional market was founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota..."? If hard red spring wheat is a major deal, internationally speaking, this should be explained. Right now, the paragraph breaks the flow of the article and leaves the reader scratching his head about why this particular regional market is being discussed when no others are.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.225.94.17 (talk) 22:52, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: "the only exchange for hard red spring wheat futures"...and why does this matter?

*Article needs attention indeed. It needs reorganization, a decent explanation of the concept and a bit of dejargonification. --Lendorien 16:21, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *Agreed.  need more info to help students in this matter, if possible.  thanks!!! --165.89.84.88 00:05, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

text: *Agreed.  I'm a bit dubious about the constant focus on Chicago and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. --70.200.94.91 (talk) 18:08, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup Help! 

message: Since there already exists a list of futures exchanges (and a wiki link to it in the article), I'd recommend deletion of the Futures exchanges section in this article. Any objections? --Chikinsawsage 07:24, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
