AB Qaiett Aloag the Line this Morning.
The controversy relative to the rental of
stalls in tbe new Market-house has not yet
reached a satisfactory adjustment.
As we understand the matter the mem-
bears of theTicUialler'a Association occupying
sfa a« is the market are ready and willing to
pay the monthly rental, but" deny the right
of the lessees to exact a premium for tbe
> oi position. .
y on the other hand, claim that
„ _ _ roposed (L a.: to sell
f to the highest bidders) market privi-
leges are opened for competition, and will
thus be the means of inducing persons
to engage in the market business who
would not otherwise do so. .
A reporter of the Mbbccbt interviewed
some of the members of the Association
this morning, and gives the following as
representing the situation at noon to-day.
Anticipating the demand that would be
mmln tjpon them at the commencement of
the month, those heretofore occupying" stalls
in the market assembled very quietly last
night, and shortly after eleven o'clock were
their respective places, which were
iljr lighted up and made ready
About two o'clock a. x. the

uader protest, it being
them as a partial payment npon
tie monthly rental. " - J
ft may bo stated that considering the
large number of persons engaged in the
controversy everything passed off quietly,
it being the determination of the members
of the Association to maintain what they
consider their rights by legal measures
alone.
A ai'mOor demand was made upon the
occupants of the various Ward Markets,
who refused to comply upon the groirnd
that fivey were occupying their own build-
inga, and were, therefore, only willing to
pay an occupation tar. There appears to be
acme reason for the belief that the matters
in dispute will be settled to-day by mutual
concession on the put of the lessees aud
members of the association.

' ''1 Trading in Raised Certificates.
New York, Aug. 31*—Norton,
who swindled' several firms here
and Also in Lancaster, Pennsyl
vania, by raised certificate stock
of the Philadelphia and Reading
was arrested sometime
since. The police received in-
formation that a number of shrewd
operators had been working on
forged railroad stock to an alarm-
ing extent, and that they were in
league with well known engros-
sers of certificates in this city.
All the brokers were warned of
the fact, but this evening showed
that warning was not heeded. A
rumor was started by Alcott & Co.
of Broad street, who had pur-
chased thousand dollar bonds in
issue of the New York Company,
from a man calling -himself
Leonard Brown, carrying on
business at No. 113 Broadway.
To-day Brown called on Alcott &
Cos. and wanted a loan qf sixteen
similar bonds. It was found that
the genuine bond of the first pur-
chase was similar in number to
one of the bonds of the sixteen
on which a loan was desired. On
examination the discovery was
made that sixteen of the bonds
were forgeries. The detectives
ascertained that Ward & Sherman,
of No. 9 Nassau, was endeavoring
to negotiate a loan of $25,000
worth of New York Central Stock,
consolidated issue, with Messrs.
Denny & Co., Wall street, for Mr.
Brown. A detective at Sherman's
saw. Brown, who appeared impa-
tient and waei ;, waling UP «nd
down the office entry^, Mr. Sher-
man entered directly after, and
handing Brown a bond told him
e r could do no business to-day.
rown left and was arrested
by a detective, who found on him
eight forged thousand dollar
bonds of the New York Central
Railroad consolidated stock, and
recovered two similar bonds which
had been left with Eddy & Co.,
26 Pine st. Brown was taken to
the Central office and locked up.
The detective further succeeded
in recovering two forged bonds
similar to those fonnd, from two
firm 8, whose names are kept se-
cret. The pohce say there are a
million dollars of forged bonds
$y ;t6 flood Wall street, and
,000 worth have already been
placed in the market. Astound-
ing developments are looked for
to-morrow. The? public are cau-
tioned to critically examine the

■ere of the Bond Forgeries.
The principal operator in the
New York Central bond forgeries
is one Charles J. Williamson, who
is believed to be identical with the
notorious Boss and Wright. He
to have been dealing
through various brokers to a very
great extent, principally in New
York Central 6?s of 1887, New
York Central 6-'s of 1883 and Buf-
falo, New Yolk and Erie first
mortgage bonds. Williamson is
an outside man, and whether
all these bonds just mentioned are
forgeries or not, or merely covers
by which he was enabled^ to issue
' bonds, it is impossible to
The detectives think it -ad-
visable for any persons who
have bought any of the
classes of bonds just mention-
ed, since the date of the last
interest payment, to have them
examined at the several offices
of the companies, and to have '*1
their genuineness attested. It is
reported in Wall street that a cer-
tain bank has been victimized to
the extent of half a milion dollars
with these forged bonds, and it is
further reported that the arrest
of several prominent operators in
Wall street, may be shortly
looked for with reference to this
worthless paper. Since the arrest
of Brown a large quantity of the
bonds have been discovered, as
followsFound on the person ot
the prisoner $30,000, with one firm
on Broadway, $30,000; with an-
other firm on Broadway, $32,-
000*, making, in all, $92,000.
It was rumored last night that
other stocks had been counter-
feited, qpd that business will be
partially suspended in Wall street
to-morrow until the truth is
known.
