What is a 'Commodity Futures Contract'. A commodity futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a predetermined amount of a commodity at a specific price on a specific date in the future.

The official cause of J. Edgar Hoover's death is listed as a heart attack. The news reports the day after his death had indicated his death was due to the effects of high blooâ¦d pressure. No autopsy was performed, which has led to speculation that other factors may have caused his death, including poisoning.
When J. Edgar Hoover died in May, 1972, he left virtually the whole of his estate to his long-time companion. Tolson also took control of Hoover's considerable secret files. Tolson retired from the FBI and according to his friends, that the only time he left the house was to visit Hoover's grave. When Tolson died in April, 1975, it was reported that the FBI agents arrived at his house and removed all these documents.
