CHAMBER OF COMMERCE..


| cial city has now its Chamber of Com
merce, and the need of such institu-
lions had been early felt. The Phoeni-
clan and the Jewish merchants had a
kind of chamber in most of the trad
ing cities of the Mediterranean, but
these were more in the style of a mer-
camille exchange, but the first modern
Chamber of Commerce was founded at
Marseilles in the fourteenth century
and this was followed by similar insu-
tutions springing up in all the chief
commercial cities of France their pow
err increasing during the period from
1900 to 1891 when they were suppressed
and not restored till the DEGREES Of Sep
TENDER g. 1851.
In the Island of Great Britain the
Scotch established the first Chamber
of Commerce at Glasgow in 1888. I1din-
burgh followed in 1885. In England
Manchester organized a Chamber in
1920, Hull in 1897. and Liverpool not
until 1919. Since then their multiplied
ton has been rapid, and their influ-
ences has been felt upon both sides of
the Atlantic and in and around the
Pacific Ocean. But though the United
States and Great Britain ana her colo
MES have seized upon and developed
the idea, the honor of insdtuting these
Chambers belongs to France.
Useful as these Chambers are in the
commercial cities Of each separate IA
ton, since 1870 there has been an ai-
vance and that is the establishment
of a Chamber by one country in the
limits of another, when Austria estab-
lished such an institution at Constan-
tinople At first, this Chamber Of
Commerce served the interests of AUS
tria- Hungary politically as we'll as
commercially; today, however, it mas
no claims to a political organization.
The home government has always TAX
en- an interest in it's welfare, and a
yearly subsidy is voted by the Reichs-
rath. The success of the Chamber at
Constantinople soon led to the estab-
lishment of others. In order To hold
their own against the competition of
England, France, and Germany in the
