Dorr said the motion was made at the
request Of Attorney General Bonaparte
and had the Endorsement of United States

Dorr said the Washington authorities
were prepared to hold trial there Deem

De Lancey NicolI. opposing the motion

from district where he is known to one
where he would be an alien. and that it
would be hardship for him to be COM

The lawyer stated that whereas only
ten witnesses were before the grand jury
In Washington. thirty-seven were exam

Washington indictment was Identical with
the one found here. except in the location
OF the site where the offense was alleged
to have been committed.

NEW YORK. October 13.-Todays stock
market was very far from showing the
pronounced and well-maintained degree
Of strength exhibited yesterday and, in
fact. price movements throughout the
business session were OF a highly irregu-
lar character. At the same time the
dealings in general revealed no appear
ances Of actual weakness. and pressure
of actual liquidation was quite missing.
At the outset the trading derived its
tone from the London market. where re-
dictionary tendencies were quite common.
The progress. Of the fOrtnightly settle
ment accounted in measure for the
course Of prices in London. and another
factor apparently was the less confident
views with regard to a peaceful outcome
Of the situation in southeastern Europe.
The feelings in this last respect appeared
to be directly traceable to the publication
by a Paris newspaper of accounts Of the
alleged aggressive attitude assumed to-
ward Turkey by the Bulgarian govern
ment
Operations here for foreign account
showed an excess Of sales. although the
liquidation Of this nature was not in very
great volume Incidents Of importance

routine circumstances. the progress of the

phases and to the somewhat firmer ten

Falling Away in Activity.
The business of the rank and file of
commission houses was in very small VOL
unae and there was a considerable falling
away in activity so far az the general
market was concerned.
A number Of stocks showed exceptional
strength throughout the irregular move
ment In the duly active issues. and the
market at large. Notable instances were
Pennsylvania. Atchison, all of the Gould
stocks and the American Can shares. The
sudden access Of animation in the Gould
stocks attracted a good deal of attention
and comment but the dealings In that
quarter had no more definite explanation
than did those in other securities which
followed a contrary course.
