TeachMeFinance.com - explain Fourteen hundred historic definition... Fourteen hundred -- An expression shouted when a stranger wanders into the London Stock Exchange. Years ago, it is said, the membership of the exchange remained for nearly two years at 1399 and it came to be a matter of interest as to who should be the fourteen hundredth. One day an unmistakable stranger strolled into the exchange and a waggish member introduced him as No. 1400. The corresponding expression on the New York Stock Exchange is New Tennessee.
