Historical accuracy:

Futures exchanges, or organizations trading contracts serving essentially the same purpose, existed before the dates given. There were active exchanges for example in Britain for cotton, in Germany and France for coffee and for grain in Buffalo New York. I added a link of futures clearinghouses providing sources. As these sources are secondary and I do not know whether secondary sources are accepted by this community, I have not revised the text.

A rice exchange in Japan was active as early as the 17th century. Dojima Exchange

The date given for the Chicago Mercantile Exchange is incorrect. In 1898 it was named the Butter and Egg Exchange becoming the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in 1919. see CME To my knowledge, that exchange was never named the Chicago Produce Exchange.
