the STOCK EXCHANGE.
nsss Of the Fret Agreement Among
New Works Brokers.

ngts Of the Fret Agreement Among
New Works Brokers.
In the early part Of March, 1922,
the first notice was printed of the
opening of a stock exchange Office
at 90 Wall street BY A. l.. Blocker
b Sons, J. Pintard, McEver & Bar
clay, Cortlandt & Terriers and jay
4 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-
sented such a restricted organiza-
ton, and on March 21 q 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
ANNE, was the first signed agree
ment among dealers in securities,
the Oldest record now in ae ar
chives Of the New York Stock Ex-
change. The agreement reads as
follows:
Eve, 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. 1872"
This organization had no local
habitation for conducting exchange
business. Like the curb brokers to-
day, transactions were carried on in
the open air at point between the
present numbers of IS and 20 Wall
street, under q famous old button
wood tree that stood there with
widespreading branches, which pro-
tected them from the suns rays and
inclement weather.

The first inside quarters Of the
exchange were secured in 1923,
when the Tontine coffee house, at |
he northwest corner Of Wall and
William streets, was completed.
The old buttonwood tree was aban-
loned, and the dignity Of the bro
