the silver is priced for 100 ounce bars. oil is by the barrel, which is 42 gallons. Copper is by 100 pounds. gas, etc by the gallon. I don't know about grain, meat, or consumer goods.

grain would be 100 bushel's meat per 100 pounds. the consumer or softs vary according to what it is.

THey are right

If your just following the price you may find it easier here without all the "extras"

Lots more stuff but just the basics

Silver is third row down on left
