The STOCK EXCHANGE.
oate OF the First Agreement Among
New Works Brokers.

NcW ofSNSIos
In the early part of March, 1892,
the first notice was printed of the
opening Of stock exchange Office
nj % Wall street by A. l.. Blocker
& Sons, j. Pintard, McEvers & Bar
clay, Cortlandt q Terriers and JAY
& Sutton. These several firms held
auctions Of stock each day at noon,
selling in rotation to insure equal
opportunities for each other.
Some of the broker specialists re-
scented such a restricted organiza-
ton, and on March 2l a meeting
was called of the dissatisfied brokers
for purposes of protection, and a
committee was appointed to pro-
vide a suitable room in which to
assemble and to suggest such rules
and regulations for conducting
their business as the committee
deemed necessary. The final result
Of this meeting, says Moody's Mag
anime, was the first signed agree
ment among dealers in securities,
the Oldest record now in the ar
chives Of the New York Stock Ex-
change. The agreement reads as
follows:
ave, the Subscribers, Brokers
for the purchase and Sale Of Public
Stock, DO hereby solemnly promise
and pledge ourselves to each other,
that we will not buy or sell from
this day, for any person whatsoever,
any kind of Public Stock at less
rate than one-quarter per cent COM
mission on the specie value, and
that we will give a preference to
each other in our negotiations. In
Testimony Whereof we have set our
hands this 18th day Of May, at New
York, 1892"
This organization had no local
habitation for conducting exchange
business. Like the curb brokers to-
day, transactions we're carried on in
the open air at a point between the
present numbers of CO and 20 Wall
street, under a famous old button
wood tree that stood there with
widespreading branches, which pro-
tected them from the suns rays and
ordinarily inclement weather.
Business in those days was not
rushing, and there was an air Of
leisure and quiet about the gather
ing. Securities we're not active
enough to employ all the time Of
the brokers, so between times bet
ting on the results of domestic and
foreign political controversies and
dealing in merchandise were in
cluded.
The first inside quarters of the
exchange were secured in 1898,
when the Tontine coffee house, at
the northwest corner of Wall and
William streets, was completed.
The old buttonwood tree was aban-
doned, and the dignity of the bro
kers' organization was elevated by
the change. The Tontine coffee
house was controlled by chartered
company composed Of 203 subscrib-
ers at $500 each, organized as a
merchants exchange.
The dealers in securities and the
merchants were all jumbled up to-
gether, and al times when trading
was brisk there was wild excitement
and shouts that would have done
credit to a band of Comanche In
dams. N2,constitution for a stock
exchange Was adopted until 1877
when the New York stock and ex
change board was formally organ
lied and a constitution adopted
Nathaniel Prime was appointed
president and John Burson secre
tary.

MRS STOVES NOVEL.
"Uncle Toms Cabin" Was Inspired
by Actual Occurrences.

"Uncle Toms Cabin" Was Inspired
by Actual Occurrences.
DR.. Charles Edward Stowe, Harriet
Beecher Stoves son, describes in the
Circle magazine the influences which
led his mother to the writing of the
book which moved the world.
Mrs. Stoves family had removed to
Cincinnati when she was about ~
years Of age and there she had had
unusual opportunities for observing the
practical workings of slavery as an In
stitution.
At this time her brother, Charles
Beecher, was in business in the city
Of New Orleans in large commission
house which had frequent dealings
with the slave plantations. He also
kept journal Of his observations and
experiences. His letters were full OF
incidents bearing more or less remote
ly on the practical influence of slavery.
There was an actual Legree, whom
the boat returning to his Red River
plantation with a miserable gang OF
slaves that he had purchased in New
Orleans.
Uncle Tom was largely an ideal char
acter, but the leading traits Of the COM
pOsite portrait were drawn from many
conversations that Mrs. Stowe had
with trembling fugitives. who, on their
way to Canada and freedom, found in
her house food, shelter, kind words and
pecuniary aid.
At last she herself was stricken
down with a painful and dangerous
illness. But she could still trust and
pray. And pray she did so fervently
and with such faith that her soul was
born into new and glorious expert
ence of Gods greatness and love. In
1850 she joined her husband in Maine.
After her resolve was formed, months
elapsed before she was able to carry
out her intention Of writing something
to make the world realize the horrors
Of slavery. The writer is obliged to
confess that he was himself the prin-
cipal hindrance just at that time. In
December, 1850, Mrs. Stowe wrote to
Mrs. Edward Beecher: "As long as the
baby sleeps with me nights l can't |
do much at anything, but l will do 1t.
will write that thing if l live!'
