Brown Co. Failure Shocks Wall Street in Downtrodden Market
The A. O. Brown & Co. suspension arose after a large downtown bank refused to issue 200,008 stamps as collateral to cover contracts. Brown & Co. blamed banks and NYSE officials for blocking certification, leading to a run and the firm’s decision to suspend. The episode triggered a Stock Exchange probe, named an investigative committee, and calls for a permanent exchange audit similar to Paris.
