REFERENCES FOR FURTHER STUDY 677 Schneider’s pamphlet is modern, detailed and surprisingly compre- hensive considering its brevity; the author’s connection with the Borse administration makes it a semi-official publication. The official rules and regulations are issued by the Handelskammer in pamphlet form: Hartung’s “Usancen” and Meyer's “Borsengesetz” are also standard works. Sayots’ article of course reflects the French viewpoint. Amsterdam’s Stock Exchange has been much described, but usually in Dutch. The anniversary Gedenboek is a splendid historical study, and Ogtrop is also authoritative. The “Statuten en Reglementen der Vereeniging voor den Effectenhandel te Amsterdam” is available only in Dutch. In German, however, one can read Brenningkmeyer and Stillich; in French, there is some very interesting and valuable in- formation in L’Illustration for August, 1928. For other markets, consult the general bibliography under their respective nations. The functional aspect of organized markets has been described elaborately in England by Lavington, Ellis, and J. A. Hobson; one should also consult on this score the references under Chapters IV and V following. Huebner in America was first to outline the eco- nomic functions of stock exchanges systematically. Conant is also helpful. Emery is the best authority on their speculative aspects. Simmons’ addresses in San Francisco (1926), Chicago (1926), and Norfolk (1929), and Whitney's address in New York (1930), are also popular presentations.of important phases. Organized commodity markets have been considered mainly outside the scope of the present book, yet references to G. Huebner, Hubbard, and Boyle are of interest to students of stock exchanges. Chapter III. The Rise of the New York Stock Exchange The early records of the New York stock market (1792-1817) are scanty and intermittent ; one must piece together the story of these days from the New York Post or from old notebooks of contemporary stockbrokers. The archives of the Exchange itself really date from 1817. Hunt's Merchants’ Magazine, which ran from 1839 through the Civil War, is useful only in a general way. The early history of the New York stock market was, however, accurately and delightfully surveyed in Stedman’s classic history of the Exchange, which runs down to about 1900. (Would that another Stedman would appear to write an equally readable history of the Exchange from the latter date to the present!) Hill and Villard, more easily obtainable than Stedman, also cover this early period. Interesting sidelights on the period to the close of the Civil War are furnished by numerous vet obscure authors and pamphleteers like
