Philadelphia Corn Exchange
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Philadelphia Corn Exchange was a brokerage house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that primarily operated in the 19th Century, offering a place for traders to speculate in the futures and stock of the corn commodity. During the American Civil War, the Corn Exchange helped sponsor several Civil War soldiers and units, including a full regiment of infantry that became known as the 118th Pennsylvania "Corn Exchange" Regiment. By 1875 the Philadelphia Stock Exchange took the place of the Corn Exchange.
