Much like the Boston Stock Exchange, the Philadelphia Stock Exchange was very active during the 1898 tax period and had as members firms which actively traded on more than one exchange in the United States, in particular in New York. Some, like Thomas Biddle & Company, only traded in Philadelphia. Either way, a collector might aspire to finding cancels from all the firms and brokers that traded in Philadelphia. To assist the task I've included the list of brokers and firms at the Philadelphia exchange that was a part of the Moody's Manual in 1901.
I will begin to expand the database that has been build of brokers and firms at the New York Stock Exchange from 1898-1902 by adding the Philly, Boston and other brokers by putting them by city on different sheets in the Google Sheet. If you are interested in access to the Google Sheet, please let me know at 1898revenues@gmail.com and I will send you a link to a read-only but searchable version.
