THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.

The membership of the exchange Is pre-
cisely 1,100-the limit. One time there
were forty members admitted at once
and they have been known ever since by
the title they received then, "the forty
thieves" The aggregate of wealth rep
resented by this membership is of course
enormous, but anything like close
estimate is impossible. Brokers are a
mysterious lot. They may be rich and
they may be poor. Even their fellow
SPECTATORS cannot tell. Perhaps $50, 900
each is a fair estimate of what their
capital would average; in which case it
would aggregate s165, 600, 900. Seats are
now worth about $35, 900, SO that adds
$3S, &c., G0 to the total, giving result OF
sos, 600. The biggest days business
in the history of the exchange was that of
February II, this year, when 1,441, 900
shares of stock changed hands.
The building in which the exchange is
located, and the ground on which it
stands, is worth nearly 100000. The
great floor is rooted by a stained glass
dome that has few equals in the world.
EveryWhB'e money has been lavishly and
tastefully spent. In the cellar OF the
structure are some of the best safes and
vaults in existence. In all there are l,O32
of them, and all but 400 are used by per-
sons connected with the Stock Exchange.

Wealth in Its Membership.

Its Humble Beginning Tho Colossal
Wealth in Its Membership.
On May IL, the New YORK Stock Ex-
change, the financial heart OF the country,
celebrated its centennial. One hundred
years before its twenty-four members met
under tree, the other day they did not
have time in their 100000 palace 10
notice the anniversary of their birth. The
value of it's seats alone are worth to-day
$3S, 500, 600 and it's mem bership represents
an aggregate wealth of $203, SOC, 00O-one
hundred years from to-day it is destined
to be the financial pivot of the universe.
On the 18th of May, 1892, twenty-four
brokers of New York city met under
cottonwood tree, opposite what is now
No. 60 Wall street, and signed an agree
ment, which, creased by many foldings
and yellowed by age, is still preserved in
the Office of the secretary of the Stock
Exchange. 1t reads as follows:
We, the Subscribers, Brokers for the
Purchase and Sale of Public Stock, do
here solemnly promise and pledge our
selves to each other, that we will not buy
or sell from this day for any person what
soever any kind of Public Stock at less
rate than One Quarter Per Cent. Commits
sion on the Specie Value, and that we
will give Preference to each other in our
Negotiations. In testimony whereby we
have set our hands this 18th day of May, at
New York, 1892. Then follows the list of
the twenty four signers.
The original association admitted mem
bers by vote without the payment of an
initiation fee; in 1923 entrance cost, $25;
in 1927, 500; in 1888, $50; in 1912,
$3.50; in 1862, $4,000 and $500 for
clerks privileges; in 1865, $40, 900; in 1879,
5000, and since that time seats have
sold for as much as $4,000, but in dull
times for less. The near future will
doubtless see double that amount paid for
the privileges Of membership. The annual
dues are $50; each member is assessed $40
on the death of another and large sums in
fines are collected. They range from
twenty five cents to $40. The amount is
fixed by the presiding officer. 1t costs
% to be caught smoking on the floor or
