 The July and September options manifested the greatest firmness. the former delivery once being up 27sc. The strength was due to an excellent demand for cash grain and the prac- tical exhaustion of stocks in store here The distant deliveries made only faint response to the strength of the July option. July ranged between S1.14% and s1.171s. The market closed strong. July sL1S7s. An advance of 29sc in the price of July was a fea- ture in trading in corn.

THE HOUSE APPOINTMENTS
Said to Have Been Made in Disregard of Chairman Payne's s Wishes-The Naming of Democrats Was a Formal Courtesy.

Washington, July 9.-When the
 house met today the members were in
 possession of copies of the tariff bill as amended and passed by the senate
 The committee on rules met after the house took a recess of an hour and decided to bring in an order for the reference of the bill, meantime dis agreeing to the senate's amendments When the recess expired, MT. DalzelI of Pennsylvania of the committee on rules was recognized to offer a rule providing for on-concurrence in all the amendments and agreeing to the conference requested by the senate. He supplemented the rule with a motion for an hour and half for de- bate, which adopted.
 The bill as it came from the senate was condemned by MT. Townsend, Michigan. As 1t left the house. he said, 1t compiled for the most part with republican pledges, but now you would hardly recognize it if you met 1t in the road
 The bill, in the opinion of MT. Fitzgerald. was about as bad a piece of legislation as it was possible to make in any legislative body. He hoped there would be aroused throughout the country a resentment such as would make it impossible to put some of the senate amendments into effect.
 Messrs. Randall of Texas Pou of North Carolina and Henry of Texas, characterized the measure as breaking the republican pledges to American people Their remarks aroused MT Smith of Iowa who declared that the American people did not direct q democratic revision of the tariff.f
 Mir Norris of Nebraska joined the insurgent republican colleagues ahd protested that the republican party would not be true to It's pledges if the bill in it's amended form should become a law.
 In pleading for an opportunity to vote separately on the various amendments, MT. Bartlett of Georgia. democrat, declared that the corpora tion tax was a pretext and sham. placed in the bill tc defeat the tax.
 Great God Almighty, eight hundred and forty-seven amendments!' was the exclamation of Mir. Clark of Mis- souri, the minority leader, as he clos ed the debate on his side. Voting on every amendment without debate would take twenty-six hours. The bill MT. Clark said, when it left the house. was bad; the Aldrich- Shoot bill is worse, and judging the future by the past, the result of the labors of the conference committee will be worse than all.
 MT. Payne, in closing for his side, pleaded with his colleagues to send the conferees to the senate unham- pered by any vote of instructions.
 The previous question was ordered on the adoption of the rule and the roll called. The vote was, yeas, IS; nays, 151; and the amendments were all rejected and the bill was sent to the conference. Speaker Cannon announced the conferees and the house adjourned until Monday at noon.
 The conferees are Messrs. Payne of New York, Dalzell of Pennsylvania. Mccall of Massachusetts, Boutell of Illinois. Calderhead of Kansas, Ford nev of Michigan, Clark of Missouri, Underwood of Alabama and Griggs of

 After the conference with the presi- dent, MT. Aldrich said it might be nec- essary to re-draft the corporation tax provision entirely.
 All conferees. including the demo- cratic members. met in the senate of flee building at , o'clock. They were in session about an hour, when the democratic members were dismissed Senator Bailey and Representatives Champ Clark, walking out together told the newspaper men that they could not expect much help from the democrats in covering the news of the conference.
 MT. Aldrich frankly told the minor ity that the majority would prepare the report without assistance The democrats did not protest. They had known all along that they would no more be permitted to participate in the making up of the conference re- port than they had been allowed to have a hand in making up the bill in the committee.
 After the departure of the demo- crats the republican conferees agreed that it might be advisable to appoint sub -conferees to consider portions of the bill where the phraseology was vital This never has been done in previous conferences on tariff legisla- tion. but it is believed that this course will facilitate the making up of the reports. An adjournment was taken tonight until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
