EEw BUSINESS CENTRE IN NEW roRK
Among the needs Of i great city, none ia
palmer than the necessity Of stability in bus-
ness localities. For years the trade OF New
York has been seeking special centres, but the
growth Of the metropolis has compelled change
in these in every decade. Now, however, every
class Of business. as We pointed out the other
day, ls finding Its true and permanent home. of
which there is no clearer evidence than the
changes effected by the erection OF the new
Post-0Aice. It is only few months since that
magnificent structure came into the occupancy
Of the postal authorities, and already tho neigh
borhood Is becomtng the financial centre Of
New York. In addition to the banking houses
and insurance companies which have Offices
in this locality. We hear that others are
seeking sites in the adjacent streets, and very
feg years will effect q complete transformation
in this respect. It is only natural that this TO-
suit should follow the change Of the Post Office
from Nassau street to Broadway and Park row
In London the PoBt-Ofice ia the money centre
OF the British metropolis, and it always was so
in this city. The change from the rickety old
building so long occupied by our Postmaster and
his ASSISTANTS to the splendid edifce in the City
Hall Park left the banking and INSURANCE bust
ness behind but change in the locatiol Of the
latter is now inevitable aud will be for the bet
ter. Broadway and all OF the latter Streets In
tho vicinity Of the City Hall are admir-
ably adapted to business Of this ns-
ture, and even Chatham and Centre streets
and the reekiug, filthy section Of the city west
Of the Dowery, OF which the Five Points is the
centre, may be transformed by this great ana
necessary change. From Eass to West Broad
way and from Canal to Wall street, is the future
money centre Of New York. This district thus
used will give us new and beautiful city, and,
as the rapid transit roads ara to converge IN the
vicinity Of the Post Office and the New York
terminus of the Brooklyn Bridge ia to be- in the
came ueiehborhood. it will be as accessible "a 1t
is specially adapted to the purpose. No city in
the world can boast q more admirable money
centre and, Us the change is inevitable, ne COM
mend the subject to the careful attention and
study of our business men, that the new city
which is to riso in this locality may be built
