Only the neglect Of republicans can
give the impression that it is.
1.-THE solid south will be more solid
this year than it ever was before
in the democratic congressman which
it will elect. The election laws have
been so changed that where Bryan
carries a state the entire congression-
al delegation from that state will be
democratic. This is smart trick
they have played in the south to gain
an advantage over the republicans in
the north who have to fight for every
district they carry irrespective of how
any Stationary go on president. A
change of seven members of congress
this year will defeat Col. D. B. Hen

later in an interview at Columbia, Mo-,
he stated most emphatieally that he
had made no statement whatever to

He said it was immaterial whether

New York STOCK, Money and Grain
Market Review

New York, July 5.-The New York
stock market made a very striking
demonstration of reeuperatiye power to-
day by the way in which 1t overcame its
early losses. There We're wide breaches in
prices as the result of two days of semi
Generalization on foreign stock markets
when the New York exchange began
trading this morning. American securi-
ties dealt in onaon were depressed all
the way from a large fraction to 1-2 be-
low the closing prices here Oh Tuesday.
British eonsols had lost all but 1I-l6 OF q
full point and French rentes had fallen 90
confines from Tuesdays prices. Such
was the striking effect Of the alarIn felt
in European quarters over the pass to
which affairs in China have come to
which must be added renewed uneasiness
over the financial conditions at Berlin,
where there was a condition bordering
upon panic both yesterday and today.
The foreign arbitrage houses disposed OF
upwards OF 20, 600 shares here before they
ceased operations with the cessation OF
cabled orders from London. The home
market began to rally with increasing
vigor after this selling had ceased. The
depressing inf 1ence of the Chinese situa-
ton was converted for home use into a
factor Of positive strength. The argu-
ment was that in the event Of extensive
military operations in China, much ma
terial would have to be supplied from or
Pacific coast.
The money market was quiet. The
bond market was fairly active but tt 9
movement OF prices was irregular. TO tai
