Book excerpt: Excerpt from Future Markets Commodity Exchange Act and Commodity Exchange Authority Another means is the system of required reports. Daily reports by futures commission merchants give the total amount or volume of trading and the open contracts in each future and commodity. Reports by large traders give de tailed facts on their operations. Figures on prices, deliveries on futures contracts, stocks of cash commodities, and other basic facts affecting the futures market are brought together. To get the most value from these daily reports quickly, tabulations are made by electric tabulating equipment in the larger field offices. Trading analysts of the cea examine the reports and summary figures to see whether there are artificial forces in the markets and discover possible viola tions of the act. This system of reports is the basis for the release of factual data on futures trading. Such data were not available to the public until Federal regulation began. Releases are issued daily giving the figures on volume of trading and open contracts. These are carried regularly by wire services and newspapers.
