In preparation for the August 1, 2006 launch of side by side Agricultural futures, the Exchange is working with pit and firm advisory groups regarding order flow, price displays and connectivity needs such that interested market participants have appropriate access to and quote data for the electronic markets. 

In order to ensure adequate time to address all requests:

Members should submit all requests for wired pit connectivity no later than June 15, 2006.  Request forms can be obtained from the on floor side by side help desk located between the agricultural and financial trading rooms.  Completed forms can be returned to that desk or to Suite 104E in the lobby of the East Building. 

Members should submit all requests for headset connectivity no later than May 30, 2006.  Request forms can be obtained from side by side help desk located between the agricultural and financial trading rooms.   Completed forms can be returned to that desk or to Suite 301A. 

The Exchange will work closely with the trading community in addressing wired and headset connectivity requests.  

If you have any questions, please contact Tom McCabe at 341-3121 or John VanDerBleek at 435-3591.
