Since the launch of the Common Clearing Link in November 2003, the CME Clearing House has published Settlement Price Files for CBOT in the same FTP directory on the Internet as for CME Settlement Price Files.

This directory is ftp.cme.com/pub/settle, and it currently contains settlement price files for both CME and CBOT.

We are now in the process of moving the settlement price files for CBOT to a new location, ftp.cme.com/pub/span/data/cbt/settle.

Effective immediately, and for the next two weeks, CBOT settlement price files are available in both the existing and the new locations.

Effective on Friday, October 1st, CBOT settlement price files will be available only in the new location, ftp.cme.com/pub/span/data/cbt/settle.

We urge firms and other users of the CBOT settlement price files to modify their file downloading processes at their earliest convenience to access the new location.

For more information, please contact Frank Shao at (312) 338-2624 or fshao@cme.com.
