Commodity exchanges, like this “live poultry exchange” in New York City are markets for buying and selling large quantities of agricultural products for a fixed price at a future date. By the 1920s, wider use of modern communication tools in business such as the telephone, expanded markets and made them more responsive to economic trends.
This primary source comes from the Records of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics.
