Extensive use of the Business Library's collections of early Boston and New York stock exchange prices has been made by the National Bureau of Economic Research for its forthcoming study of “Bond Yields and Interest Rates” for the last seventy years. It was found that the Library's set of official stock exchange records dated back as far as 1857, whereas the material in the New York Public Library and the New York Stock Exchange is not earlier than January, 1859.
