The Washington Stock Exchange was a regional stock exchange based in Washington, D.C.. Active as early as the 1880s,[1] on July 21, 1953, members of the Washington Stock Exchange board unanimously voted to merge with the Philadelphia-Baltimore Stock Exchange.[3] The merge occurred in 1954, creating the Philadelphia-Baltimore-Washington Stock Exchange.

History

The exchange was active in Washington, D.C. as of October 24, 1884.[1] It was a tenant of the Washington Building at 15th and New York NW.[2]

On July 31, 1914, after the closing of the NYSE, the Washington Stock Exchange, "which deals mainly in local securities, followed the example of similar bodies in other cities and suspended business for the day."[3] During a financial crisis, on August 5, 1914, the New York Times reported that the New York Stock Exchange and all regional exchanges had voted to close, including Washington, D.C., the Baltimore Stock Exchange, the Boston Stock Exchange, the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, the Pittsburgh Stock Exchange, and others for Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Columbus, and San Francisco.[4]

On July 21, 1953, members of the Washington Stock Exchange board unanimously voted to merge with the Philadelphia-Baltimore Stock Exchange. The merger plan had been in negotiations at that point for 22 months under Washington exchange president Fenton Cramer. Cramer asserted that under the agreement, the Washington exchange would become a branch of the other exchange, with little change in actual trading activities expected. He described a major advantage of the merger as the establishment of a modern clearing house for security.[5] The Philadelphia-Baltimore Stock Exchange merged with the Washington Stock Exchange in 1954, creating the Philadelphia-Baltimore-Washington Stock Exchange.{{cn|date=March 2017}}

Hibbs, "one of the wealthiest men in Washington," was president of the Washington Stock Exchange.[8] Charles C. Glover (1846-1936) was for a time president of the exchange.{{cn|date=March 2017}} George M. Ferris (died 1992) was a former president and chairman of the Washington Stock Exchange.[9] By July 21, 1953, Fenton Cramer was president.[5]
