Title: Grain, Cotton, and Provision Market Broadside
Description: New York, L. G. Quinlin & Co. Grain, Provision, and Cotton Brokers, Representing Jno. T. Lester & Co. Chicago, 1882. Broadside, dated Saturday, January 21, 1882; 10 1/4 x 12 1/4; thin yellow stock, printed in black; a few tiny nicks to edges and several minor spots to lower margin; old crease lines; in very good condition. An uncommon survivor of American financial history, the broadside referenced the Chicago Board of Trade, the New York Produce Exchange, and the New York Cotton Exchange and listed the prices (opening, highest, lowest, closing) for wheat, corn, pork, lard, etc. on the Chicago Grain and Provision Market , for cotton on the New York Cotton Market, and even some data on foreign markets. By the late 19th century, Chicago and New York had had complex and multi-functional infrastructures developed to receive, process, and store grain, cotton, and livestock from manufacturers all throughout the United States and to ship them to Europe. There were also related financial exchanges, which offered various futures and liquid spots markets. Historically, cotton prices would reach an all-time low in the aftermath of the Civil War and would not recover until World War I. Very good .
