y market noteworthy only for its dull
ness was yesterdays. There was no buy
ing by the public and little support by the
leaders, and as result the professionals
continued their tiresome tactics all day.
Prices at the opening we're about on par
with the close on Thursday and there were
recessions from the first quotations nearly
all day. In the last hour some strength
was shown and the bulls began TO hope FOR
better things today. The advances made,
however were small except in a few
stocks. and the general level at the close
was lower than the opening. The market
apparently is waiting for a sign from the
leaders. Mr.. Flower with a little good
buying could start a good advance. What
the leaders are waiting for it is difficult TO
say, unless. perhaps. better wheat news.
The immediate outlook is not a cheerful
one to those who wish a booming market
Many careful observers expect to see a
continuance Of the traders tactics during
the early part Of next week at least, and
few believe that today will witness any
thing like a spirited revival. There is a
chance. OF course. that a good bank state
ment and perhaps cheaper wheat may
cause revival of interest and turn in
the situation. but the bulls have been hop
ing for something OF the kind without re-
suit for long time Money was at per
cent al the close yesterday.

The break in the price of wheat yester-
day is looked upon by some optimists as
only the beginning of a considerable de-

WHAT he Would LIKE
Dewey, Though No Beggar,
Is a Sensible ChooSer.
He ACCEPTS THE HOUSE
Because Feeling That 1t Is
the Whole Peoples Gift.

washington, Oct. 6.-Admira1 Dewey
has elected to accept house in Wash
ington already constructed, instead Of
having one built for his occupation. In
accordance with the invitation of the
committee which has had in charge the
Dewey Home work, he called at the ofilce
of Acting Secretary Allen in the navy de-
partment, at IL o'clock today, to indicate
dence. There were present, besides Mr..
Allen, Assistant Secretary Vanderlip, As
sistant Postmaster General Heath and
General Corbin. The admiral was official
ly informed of the purpose of the people
of the United States to present him with
a home in Washington. He frankly ex-
pressed his qualification at the tender,
which he Immediately accepted. He said
had the proposed home been the gift of
few wealthy men, he should feel indis-
posed to accept it. But he noted that the
fund had over 1900 subscribers, indlcat-
ing that the home was to be really the
gift Of the American people, and, as such,
he would accept it with as much pleasure
as he had the sword bestowed upon him
by congress. He then talked upon the To-
cation Of the residence The admiral
showed a decided preference for the sec
ton in which he had made his home dur
ing his former details of duty in Wash
ington- He wished the house to be To-
Gated in the northwest section, some
where west of Sixteenth street, and not
too far north, thus indicating the neigh
borhood Of his former residence and the
clubs where he spent good deal of his
leisure time. First Of ALL he wanted the
house at the earliest possible moment, so
that he might go in and "hang up his hat
at once" as he put it. OF course, that
precluded the idea of erecting house to
meet his special needs. He expressed his
ideas as to the character of the house he
desires, and asked that the house be
modest enough in appointments and cost
to permit Of the retention of a sufficient
sum Of money from the purchase fund to
defray the expense of furnishing It.
The committee listened attentively to
all of these wishes and saw no reason
why each and all could not be graitfied.
The admiral is going to New York tomor-
row anu Will stop over IL he can anu see
the yacht race on his way to Shelburne
Farms, VT. He expects to return to
Washington in the course Of a week.
Meanwhile. the house committee having
invited written proposals OF properties,
will go through the list carefully and
hope to be able to present to the admiral
on his return as many as half a dozen
available houses from which he may
make a personal selection. The fund at
the disposal of the committee now
amounts to about $4,000 and it is ear
nestly desired that this sum may he sub
stantia1ly Increased during the time re-
manning before the purchase.

GRIGGS' OPINION ON CARTER
Attorney General Relies on Circum-

stantial Evidence as Conclusive
Washington, Oct 5-The opinion of
Attorney General Griggs in the case of
Captain Oberlin NJ Carter Of the army,
upon which the president approved the
finding Of the court martial, was made
public today The opinion discusses N
great detail the evidence adduced against
Captain Garter snd combats the argU-
ments set UP in behalf of the plaintiff.
Summing Up many of the specifications,
including Captain Carriers intimacy with
Green and the Gaynors, the method Of
advertising for the work and of letting
the contracts, the charter of the Atlantic
Contracting company, the large profits
made on the contracts, etc. the attorney
general says that they might justly be
considered as failing to fix upon the &C
cused knowledge and purpose to defraud
the government If it were shown that he
had no corrupt personal motive, that he
had not profited by these loose methods
and irregular and questionable proceed
ings. He then shows that in 1891 the cap
tain's salary was only $3.50 per month,
and that from that time forward his
personal expenditures increased very rap
idly. being S6.047 in 1891. and S29. 611 in 1895
The fact is also pointed out that in 1892
Captain Carter began TO make notably
large deposits in the Union Trust com
pany of New York and also to buy Sc
curities, his investments increasing until
1895, when his holdings had increased to
a market value of s453, Oo0
Mr.. Griggs does not accept Captain
CATERS explanation that he was dealing
in the securities with the funds of his
father in-laW. Mr.. Westcott, and was
the recipient OF large presents from him
"One the face Of It. 1t is" he says, an
improbable story"
Speaking further on this point. the at
torney general says: If Mr.. westcort.
! the alleged Gonator had come upon the
witness stand and corroborated the
| story. II v ould probably have been suffi-
Gent bat he did not come"
Continuing. the attorney general empha-
sizes the fact that all effort to secure the
evidence of Mr.. Westcott were unavan-
in-.
Mr.. Griggs also mentions Other circum-
stances. which he pronounces suspicious.
including the fact that many OF the
checks paid 10 the contractors were col
lected in cash over the counter az the
sub-treasury and the circumstance that
Carter was present IN New York on July
6. 1887, when the large checks were de-
iivered TO Gaynor on that date and that
he was en- many other occasions. from
1875 TO 1897. present in New York when
payments were made to the contractors

ing these years from 1892 to 1887, enriched

ner not accounted for by his own testi-
mony and the irresistible conclusion
therefore, is that the true explanation OF
this rapid accession of wealth is one that
ne could not safely make and that it Is
to be accounted for only by accepting the
theory that he participated in the fraudu-
lent proceeds of the contracts under his
charge
The statement concludes as follows: Il
am, therefore, led to the conclusion that
the court-martial was justified in its
finding of guilty upon the charges and
