Gave Name to the Famous street
OF Finance.

70 there had not been war between
Holland, and England there is no tell
ing what would have been the name
Of Wall street. The financial center
Of America might have borne any
other name and Lave been just as pow
erful as it Is.
The wall that gave to II It's NAME
m exchange recalls, was put up oy
Peter stuyvesant. The old pes-lesseo
autocrat had his own intelligence serV'
ice and he became convinced that the
New England and Connecticut colonies
were going to attack him. His town
north Of the fort was unprotected, anu
he threw up wooden wall from the
East to the North river. 1t was oul''
Of logs that were used as palisades
with the upper end spiked.
stuyyesant's information was COT
rect. because Connecticut was very
anxious to 60 to war and had become
satisfied Indian outrages were oelht
Insticated by the Dutch. There
was meeting at Fairfield, neal
Bridgeport, where men were pIeose'
for the attack on the Dutch. MasSa
chusetts held off, and the next yea
. Holland and England made peace
I But the old wooden wall stood lot
half century and cramped the growt
Of the town. There was ditch a'oht
( side it, and at night the gate wa
' closed and bolted and guarded.
