sanguine dealers.
Mr.. Samuel Sloane. Sir. recalls the time

But he was advised to let 1t alone: that he
would be throwing his money away on such
an investment. To-day the land Is worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In 1854. when the president of the Stock
Exchange had failed In the panic and re-

His wise administration carried The fnstl-
tuition through perilous days in safety. and
when prosperity returned he urged the
Governing Committee to buy the block be-

a new exchange.
One plan was 10 buy the block now ocCu-
pied in part by the new Broad building. be-
tween Exchange place. Beaver. Broad and

tons proposed.
Mr.. Simmons said that the entire cost OF
the proposed extension to Wall street could

tumble in the prices of agricultural prod
ucts. with an advance in rates for money.
Great changes have taken place in Wall
street since it was a : barricade and the
