Each oil may be purchased for immediate delivery (January) or bought on the futures market for delivery in a subsequent month. Prices at present and in the futures market are given below in (? ton):
\table[[,VEG 1,VEG 2,OIL 1,OIL 2,OIL 3],[January,110,120,130,110,115],[February,130,130,110,90,115],[March,110,140,130,100,95],[April,120,110,120,120,125],[May,100,120,150,110,105],[June,90,100,140,80,135]]
