 | | NEW YORK With a mixture of vision and nostalgia, the seat owners of the New York Stock Exchange voted Tuesday to acquire Archipelago Holdings Inc., a deal that will transform the 213-year-old Big Board into a for-profit company with new, high-tech trading capabilities. |
 | | Archipelago shareholders, meeting in Chicago, approved the transaction earlier Tuesday, though the margin of the vote was not disclosed. |
 | | Some of that competitive pressure came from Archipelago itself, which has increased its share of NYSE-listed stock trades in recent years, but has also seen intense competition from other electronic trading platforms. |
