[blocks in formation]

THE principal financial mart of the Western continent has a history as curious in its early beginnings and as interesting from its connection with the advancement of the city of New York as any other thoroughfare in the city. We are enabled to trace it, step by step, from its original condition as an open common through its successive stages of progress, until its culmination in modern times as the throne of the American Mammon, whence flow the edicts of the money god through all the land.

As is well known, the Dutch West India Company, which purchased the island of Manhattan from the natives, was liberal in granting to settlers suitable parcels of land for their habitations, gardens, and farms; but no considerable tract for farming purposes was granted below Wall street. The lower part of the island was appropriated to the city proper, and, as occasion offered, was granted in suitable lots to settlers who engaged to make improvements. During twenty-five years subsequent to the advent of Christian families these building sites were confined to a few lanes or thoroughfares adjacent to the fort, on the south point of the island, and along the East river in the same vicinity. During that interval of a quarter of a century the ungranted land below Wall street laid in common, being known in the Dutch language as T'SCHAAPE WAYTIE, or the Sheep Pasture, its natural condition being partly rolling upland and partly meadow of a swampy character.
