It is noteworthy that the exchange was established in Odessa at the request of the foreign merchants. Meetings were held daily from 10 to 12 hours. To observe the procedure on the Stock Exchange was attended by Chief of Police. Three decades was enough to speculators raised the question of its own building, which quickly built. But the new building did not satisfy the gathering, as the room side by side with other exchanges urban institutions. Their work was fettering the activities of speculators. With the bond issue was proposed to raise money to build a new exchange of Odessa. It was laid in 1894 at the corner of Pushkin Street and the Police. The cost of construction was about 800,000 rubles.

On the Stock Exchange trade at Odessa is little known. In the memoirs of contemporaries, almost nothing is said of the passions in the trading of securities.
