The only commodities exchange and futures market in Canada. The main items traded are various grains, gold, interest-rate futures, and lumber. In October 1979, the exchange announced plans to establish a separate division, the Canadian Financial Market, to offer futures trading in treasury bills, government bonds, gold and gold options.... In 1972, it changed its name from Winnipeg Grain and Produce Exchange to Winnipeg Commodity Exchange, reflecting its ambitions as a commodities exchange and futures market, although futures had been traded at the exchange since 1904. 3, record 4, English, - Winnipeg%20Commodity%20Exchange

Some exchanges offer only cash markets, others specialize in futures trading. Others offer a wide variety of cash plus futures trading. Trading on the three markets offered by the Winnipeg Commodity Exchange, commodity futures, grain options and cash grains, illustrates the operation of commodity markets and how the grain industry uses them. 1, record 5, English, - trading%20on%20commodity%20exchange
