Tlt organization had no local
habtation for conducting exchange
business. Like the curb brokers to-
day, transactions we're carried on in
the open air at point between the
present numbers OF 6S and 20 Wall
street, under a famous old button
wood tree that stood there with
widespreading branches, which pro-
tected them from tho suns rays and
ordinarily inclement weather.
Business in those DAYS was not
rushing, ard there was an air OF
leisure and quiet about the gather
ing. Securities we're not active
enough 70 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
ciudel.
The first inside quarters Of the
exchange we're 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
houe was controlled by chartered
company composed Of S03 subscrib-
ers at $500 each, organized as a
merchants exchange.
The dealers in securities and the
merchants we're all j.mbled up to-
gether, and at times when trading
was brisk there Nas wild excitement
and Shouts that would have done
credit to a band Of Comanche In
dians. No constr ION for a stock
