Coffee, Sugar and Cocoa Exchange

Sugar futures were added in 1914, and, on September 28, 1979,[1] the New York Coffee and Sugar Exchange merged with the New York Cocoa Exchange (which in turn had been founded in 1925) to form CSCE.

The CSCE operates as an independent unit of NYBOT trading futures and options on coffee, sugar and cocoa and the S&P Commodity Index.

[2] At the end of April 1902, H. M. Humphreys resigned from his position as superintendent of the Coffee Exchange to become vice president of the newly formed Mutual Alliance Trust Company.

[5][6] In 1909 writer Vincent O'Sullivan lost his income from the family coffee business when his brother Percy made a spectacularly mistimed futures gamble at the New York Coffee Exchange.

The entire family was ruined, and Vincent was destitute for the remaining years of his life.
