Oboanized April 5, 1768. Incorporated by George the Third March 13, 1770. Reincorporated by
thfc State of New York April 13, 1784. Its object is indicated in the following words of the original
charter: " Sensible that numberless inestimable benefits have accrued to mankind from commerce ;
that they are, in proportion to their greater or lesser application to it, more or le-ss opulent and potent
in all countries; and that the enlargement of trade will vastly increase the value of real estates as well
as the general opulence of our said colony, ' ' and ' ' to carry into execution, encourage and i^romote,
by just and lawful ways and means, such measures as will tend to promote and extend just and law-
ful commerce."

During the decade 1760-1770, according to Lord Sheffield's Observations, the average yearly value
of American Colonial imports from Great Britain was £1,763,409. and of exports to the same country
£1,044,591. Up to the evacuation of the city by the British and its occupation by the Americans, ou
the 25th of November, 1783, the New York Chamber of Commerce had had seven presidents, thirteen
vice-presidents, eight treasurers, one secretary, and 135 members. In May, 1763, the Sandy Hook
Lighthouse was lighted up for the first time. In 1786 the Chamber of Commerce first .suggested the
construction of the Erie Canal, and in 1784 petitioned the New York Legislature (which so ordered),
that duties should be levied under a specific instead of anaci'vatoremtariflf— a system of which the
Chamber of Commerce has ever since been the constant advocate.

As a society the Chamber of Commerce consists of one thousand regular members. Initiatory fees
have varied betw-een the sum of ten Spanish dollars, required in 1770, and §25, which is now demanded
from every accepted candidate.

The offices and meeting rooms are at 34 Nassau St., New York. Officers: Presideyit, Alexander
E. Orr ; Secretary, George Wilson ; Ti-easuj-er, Solon Humphreys.
