The title names the Union Produce Exchange in Chicago, a trading floor where buyers and sellers met to arrange sales of farm goods that moved through the city's rail yards and grain elevators. Chicago's role as a hub for shipping agricultural products grew rapidly in the late 1800s, and exchanges like this one were central to setting prices and making deals before goods were delivered. The picture is worth studying for what it shows of that commercial world: the crowded floor, the business dress, and the scale of activity that made the city a national market center. Details of the building and its operators are best checked against the record for this image.
