New York, 1883. 4 page periodical, dated March 17th, 1883, from Henry Clews & Co., Bankers and Commission Merchants. Black text on off-white paper. Discusses the investment market, the adjournment of Congress, the Public Debt, and other financial topics. Fine condition with fold lines, some slight splitting along center margin, and an off-center margin at top on back page. Henry Clews (August 14, 1834 _ January 31, 1923) was a British-American financier and author. He organized the firm of Stout, Clews & Mason and eventually brought his brother James Clews over from England to help him manage a branch of the brokerage firm. In 1859, he co-founded Livermore, Clews, and Company, what was then the second largest marketer of federal bonds during the United States Civil War. In 1877, he split away and started Henry Clews & Company, a member of the New York Stock Exchange, which made him enormously wealthy. In politics, Clews was a Republican and organized the "Committee of 70," which deposed the corrupt ring associated with William M. Tweed in New York City. He was a friend of President Abraham Lincoln and served as an economic consultant to President Ulysses Grant. Towards the end of his life he wrote one of the most famous classics about life on Wall Street entitled "Fifty Years in Wall Street".
