Currently, aluminum warehouse stocks are reported by the Exchange Licensed Warehouses for Aluminum as follows:

A. On a daily basis the Warehouse provides the total amount of Aluminum deposited at the Warehouse for which Warrants have been issued in short tons by shape, either low-profile sow or T-bar.

B. On a daily basis the Warehouse provides the amount of “Other Aluminum” which is reported as the total number of pieces of T-bar, sow, slab and the number of bundles of standard ingot (a bundle is counted as one piece) which is stored at the facility for which a warrant has not been issued. It may be either primary or secondary aluminum, and may not meet the precise standards for weight, shape, brand or grade of aluminum deliverable against the Aluminum Futures Contract.

Effective July 1, 2004, aluminum warehouse stocks will be reported as follows:

A. On a daily basis the Warehouse provides the total amount of Aluminum deposited at the Warehouse for which Warrants have been issued in short tons by shape, either low-profile sow or T-bar. This category remains unchanged.

B. “Other Aluminum” would be reported as the total number of pieces of primary aluminum T-bar and low-profile sow of an Exchange approved brand which is stored at the facility for which a warrant has not been issued.
