COMMISSIONS ALLOWED BY BOARD TO BROKERS
17. The commissions to be collected by brokers from customers are fully prescribed by the board of trade in each city and do not materially differ. While it will not be possible to give all the rates of brokerage or the charges allowed for buying, selling, or accounting, the commissions allowed on the Chicago Board of Trade for buying or selling, or for buying and selling, are as follows:
For the purchase, or for the sale, or for the purchase and sale by grade alone of wheat, corn, or oats, to be delivered in store, either for immediate or for future delivery, one-eighth of one cent per bushel.
For the purchase, or for the sale, or for the purchase and sale, by grade alone, of rye, barley, or flax-seed, to be delivered in store, either for immediate or for future delivery, one-quarter of one cent per bushel.
For the purchase, or for the sale, or for the purchase and sale of lard, six cents per tierce.
For the purchase, or for the sale, or for the purchase and sale of pork, five cents per barrel.
For the purchase, or for the sale, or for the purchase and sale of D. S. short ribs, or D. S. extra short clears, twenty-five cents per thousand pounds.
The minimum rates allowed upon the above transactions made for the account of members of the board are one-half of the foregoing minimum rates.
