MANHATTAN MARKET.
Foreclosure Mortgages-The Property To
BE Sold at Auction.

Foreclosure Mortgages-The Property To
BE Sold at Auction.
Manhattan Market is TO be sold at auction next
month to satisfy judgments in actions brought by
the holders of the second and third mortgage
bonds. At the request Of the bondholders action
was commenced last February by their attorney,
Mr.. William A. W. stewart, to recover interest on
the bonds, and on June Is Judgment was
granted iorecloslng the mortgages The market
was erected IN 1872, on land between Tnir-
ty-fourtn and Thirty-htth streets, Eleventh
avenue and Hudson River. The land
was owned BY the late Cortland Palmer and was
leased for tho purpose for $25, 600 per year. The
protectors Of the market at first mOrtgaged the
prospective building Tor slJ0,000 TO Morgan Terry,
TO raise the money to commence operations with.
This amount not being found sufficient to COM
plete the structure, it was mortgaged for 100000
more, ana afterward for $30000O additional. For
six months alter the market was opened the busi-
ness conducted within It's walls gave fiattering
promises OF the success OF the institutions; but
from that time forward business began to iall OF
until the retail trade was abandoned and
market was attempted. The latter project failed,
however, the necessity OF accommodations tor 1--we
stock having been overlooked. Last November
Mr.. Palmer took possession OF the market, the an
nual rent not having been paid when due. IL Is
the intention OF the bondholders to buy the build
ing and open 1t again as market, they being SAN
guine that 1t can be made success yet. me
failure OF the first attempt Is attributed TO opposl
tion of the owners OF Washington Market, a bitter
rivalry having existed between the two markets.
The building cost over $1000.000.
