Day 19 Chicago

After leaving Washington we a day stop over in Chicago to see the Chicago Board of Trade. Chicago was a bloody cold and windy place. There was a frantic pace with everthing and everyone moving quickly. We got to CBOT in time for the start of business and it was flat out yelling at each other and lots of gesticulating.
The pace went flat for about 10 mins. It slowed down was a lot of manual trades had been done and it had established a price for the commidity. We were watching wheat and the price wasn't good for thge future.
We toured all the different commidity sections. When the pace settled there was a lot of action on the computers where traders from around the world were conducting electronic trading.
