Board games company Parker Brothers developed a game called Pit in 1904 based upon the action of the open outcry trading pit. The premise of the game is to 'corner a market' through a participant trading cards with others in hopes to hold every card issued for a particular grain. The edition photographed below is the 1919 edition but new additions are still manufactured and available for roughly $10-15. The best description of the history and method of playing is available at this wikipedia link:
