killed in the last battle of the war.
MIR. Smith repeated that he had reliable

Wall-st was much disturbed to-day, and the atten-
ton of its habitues diverted at the startling dscoy-
cry that fraudulent sham certificates were hoatlng
about among the banks and money lenders. 1t was
vaguely hnted ON Saturday afternoon that such was
the case. but it remained for this morning TO fully
develop the fact that 600 hundred shares OF Toledo
Wabash, and Western Railway stock, and 200 Pitts
burgh, Fort Wayne, and Chicago. fraudulent issue,
had been bypothe Gated as collateral or these 400
Wabash and 100 Fort Wayne, were lodged at the
Continental Bank by broker firm, Oddie & Austin,
for loan of $1,000 and the remaining portion with
a new street money lender, James b. Murray for
81, ,OO0 Neither of the firm of o. a. A. have
put in an appearance to-day, and their office
and effects are in possession of the Sheriff The loss
involved will not be important and it is regarded as
very fortunate that the counterfets which betrayed
much skill and cleverness in the make up, were so
quickly discovered and the scheme to rob the street
nipped in embryo 1t is not generally thought that
any more undiscovered shares are out, though as
precautionary measure holders were having their
certificates transferred quite extensively TINS after
noon The effect on the general railway list was not
material though il was fair to suppose it might
have been used as pretext to batter down prices
The movement in stocks has been restricted on the
general list, and only passably active even IN the
reigning bellies Of the stock exchange. The early
business was at higher figures than those
current at the close on Saturday but after the call
prices sagged, recovering again by one o'clock, and
going into the second board passably firm. The
afternoon market was most individually stupid,
and the business almost nominal but prices dropped
