The London and New York Stock Exchanges, 1850–1914

Abstract: This paper compares two financial institutions that provided the same functions at the same time, but in different countries and with different memberships. Though the London and New York stock exchanges appear to be alike between 1850 and 1914, they were not, as each responded in its own way to the forces acting upon it. The result was a radically different organization of the securities market in Britain and the United States. This had important implications for the money and capital markets and consequences for business and the economy.
