Chicago Mercantile Exchange Affectionately called the Merc, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is the second largest futures exchange. The CME evolved from the Chicago Butter and Egg Board when it was organized in 1919 for trading futures and cash. You can still find butter here on the final day of the week's trading. As the CME expanded its services and trading volume, it sought larger and more efficient quarters. This scene is of the trading floor at 444 West Jackson Boulevard, which has been replaced in 1983 by the new Chicago Mercantile Exchange Center on Wacker Drive. Looking at this trading scene you can almost hear the cacophony of shouting traders. The view is chaotic, but organized and accurately defined. Here you see both blackboard trading and pit trading being conducted. Print size: 10.5" x 15" FRAME STYLES* Style A is a gold-toned aluminum frame with a single white mat over the print. Style B a gold-leaf wooden frame with a gorgeous linen mat, inner fillet of gold-leaf wood over another white mat.
