Listed below are the relevant delivery dates for the Chicago Board of Trade and MidAmerica Commodity Exchange November 2000 contracts. To help promote error free delivery processing, the Clearing Corporation requires all tender quantities and warehouse locations be confirmed before the tender record will be included in delivery processing for assignment. The confirmation is performed using the Tender Confirmation screen in OTIS®. The origin, quantity in contracts, grade and warehouse will be displayed for the commodity being confirmed. Firms are reminded of the importance of verifying this information before confirming their tender records.

Also, firms using the Board of Trade Clearing Corporation Automated Delivery Invoice and Inventory System are reminded to verify the accuracy of all information, including price calculations on invoices generated through the system prior to confirming the invoice.
