The Views OF The Company.

At the close of the meeting q reporter
Of THE REPUBLICAN, met one of the officers Of the
company, who, In response to inquiries, spoke as
follows:
"Wcll, the men who came here and fifteen years
ago replaced the old wooden sheds that disgraced
Pennsylvania avenue with the finest series Of
market buildings in this country, II not In the
world; who put their money into the enterprise
freely and in good faith, do not now at this late
day propose to give up for nothing all they have
invested here. All they want is fair return for
their money invested. Every citizen Of the Dis
trict is proud Of those structures and the convent
enees they give TO- every householdor-i3r they aGe
means of access TO the poor who come In that class
| of conveyance and TO the thousands who come in
their carriages and alight within its grounds-sur.
passed by no market that 1 know Of. The cry Of
certain deaers-it Is not made by all-is that the
rents are high and that the bonuses are large. This
Is entirely mistake.
THE RENTS ARE CHEAPER PER SQUARE FOOT
than any market of its importance in the country,
and as cheap rs In any of the minor markets of the
District aud as to the minimum of the bonuses
txed they are much lower for this sal Of eighteen
years than was the average received at the first
sale for two years and the average received at the
recent sales of stalls In the small Street Market
for ten years. OF course II was 10 be expected
that some of the dealers who occupied the
best stalls should object to being subjected to COM
petition for their larger benefits. These men have
been In every court in the District every sort of
pretext for the last five years in these matters, and
| the company has been uniformly sustained, and
shNoc hope iot
| for no injustice is being done or intended by the
company, which In making these sales is simply
| complying with the law. The interest Of the
| company and the market men are identical; but
| half dozen market men cannot destroy that
| market and will not be permitted to do so. There
Is no better privilege in this or any city than the
| rights which about IN be sold, and have rea-
son to believe that many dealers from Northern
| cities and elsewhere will be here to avail them
selves of the opportunity afforded by this sale.
The market will continue for years to be the prin.
cipal and iavorite market of the National Capital

The material for the iron framework in
the interior of the Washington Monument was
shipped from Philadelphia yesterday. Owing to
the failure Of the iron manufacturers to furnish
promptly the material contracted for there has
been delay of six weeks in the work. The lay
ing of the stone will be resumed OH the LIST of No
vember and pushed forward as rapidly during
that month as possible and then the work will be
stopped until next spring. II is expected that the
same amount of stone will be laid during the
month as during August, namely, twenty feet.
The monument will then reach the height Of $50
feet, a little moro than half tho proposed height.
Estimates have already been prepared and will be
submitted to Congress for the amount of money
required for next year. The amount is SloO,0OO,
will be sufficient TO build the structure TO the

a class of work never before attempted in this

the newest designs have been lately purchased,

to the fact that the job department Is now
enabled to produce invitations, ball programmes,

in style superior to any ever before attempted In
this city, and which win so closely compete with
the highest grades of engraving that u will be
difficult to distinguish the difference in the effects.
