A fact from E.B. Harris appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 January 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that E.B. Harris, former president of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, paraded an Angus calf around the trading floor to celebrate the beginning of live cattle futures trading on the exchange?

Drove prices (down?)

The article states:

In 1955 two onion traders, Sam Seigel and Vincent Kosuga cornered the onion futures market and then drove onion prices in order to profit from a short positions that they held.

I believe (but I'm not sure) that the phrase should read "... drove onion prices down in order ..."
