Competing with the NYSE, what was the name of the regional stock market established in 1864 that was created "to profit from the economic and investment boom sparked by the Civil War"?

The Open Board of Stock Brokers was actually located at 16 and 18 Broad Street, which is now the site of the current New York Stock Exchange Building. Soon after its launch, the OBSB's membership rivaled the NYSE's because they were employing more modern trading systems that were continuous, instead of only twice a day. In 1869, the two markets merged.
