Spokane Stock Exchange
| Name: | Spokane Stock Exchange |
|---|---|
| Biography/History: | From 1897 to 1991, the Spokane Stock Exchange represented Inland Northwest mining companies within regional and national markets and systems. Operating in conjunction with trade fluctuations, the Spokane exchange at the height of its success was on par with mining exchanges in much larger cities. The Spokane exchange survived a crash during the Great Depression, recovered after World War II, and expanded again during the 1960s silver boom. Its decline began in the 1980s when questionable trading activities came to the attention of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Losing the loyalty of its brokers, the Spokane exchange closed in 1991, the last regional mining exchange in the United States. |
