"The flag of the Produce Exchange was placed at half-mast yesterday on the announcement of the death of Herbert Taylor, one of its oldest and most respected members. Mr. Taylor was an English-man, and was in the American produce business in London before coming to this country in 1857. He brought with him an excellent reputation. He became connected here with the house of George Coburn, the predecessor of the present concern-- Taylor, Anderson & Co., of No. 7 Bowling Green. In 1863 he went into business for himself, and in 1871 he was joined by Mr. J. Anderson. Mr. George McCree is a silent partner. Mr. Taylor represented the old and well-known firm of Bell & Grant, of Liverpool, during their active connection with the American trade. He was a member of the Produce Exchange from the commencement of the present organization. He served on the Arbitration Committee in 1870-1 and 1871-2; on the Committee on Land in 1875-6 and 1876-7, and on the committee on Provisions last year and this. He was regarded as a man of great experience and exceptionally sound judgment, and was often chosen to act as arbitrator on questions arising between members. He was 51 years of age, and leaves seven children, six of whom are at present in England. His disease was acute pneumonia, complicated with several other disorders. He died on Sunday at his late residence, No. 110 East Twenty-second street. His funeral will take place tomorrow, at 10 A. M., from Calvary Church, Fourth-Avenue and Twenty-second street. A meeting of the Exchange has been called for this afternoon to take suitable action. At an informal meeting of his friends yesterday, Messrs. John G. Dale, A. E. Orr, and Stephen W. Carey were appointed a committee to draft appropriate resolutions."
