DAY IN WALL STREET

NEW YORK Wall Street., July 2S. Short covering was again the para mount influence in todays light opera tionS, the oversold condition of the list being seen in the l to points gains, recorded by leading stocks, notably war issues.
 Advances were largely surrendered in the profit taking of the final hour, the market closing, however, with a firm tone. Rails were ignored through out. United States Steel at one time showed one-point rise at 123B but forfeited virtually all it's advantage.
 Metals were inconspicuous. Totas sales amounted to 225,000 shares.
 The bank statement reported an ac- tual loss of almost $50,000,000 in re- serves of members held by the federal reserve bank and a decrease of slight ly more than $37,000,000 in excess re- serves, still leaving the total excess well more than $100,000,000.
 Bonds were irregular on very limited offerings, the liberty issue being quot ed at 99.3S to 99.40, with occasional salesas low as 99.35. Total sales par value aggregated 1,27O,00O U. s. bonds (old issues were unchanged on call during the week.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, July 2S.-Anxiety over shipping complications due to the switchmen's strike did a good deal to- day to cause an all-around advance in values of grain and provisions. Corn finished strong, A c to 37sc net higher, with September at $1.63% and Decem- Der $119B to $1.19A. Wheat closed unsettled, Sc to Sc up. at $2.6O July and $2.29 September. Oats showed a jump of 1Ac to 5sc and provisions 10c to 27c
 Unfavorable crop news from North Dakota and western Canada increased bull sentiment in regard to wheat.
 Despite the outlook for a huge crop the oats market rose with corn The strike of switchmen here gave reason for serious apprehension that the movement of the crop might be de- layed. Strike difficulties curtailine the arrival of hogs led to a decided up turn in provisions. Belgian relief pur- chases counted also as an element oi strength. Close:

experiences il the st. Louis were sunk
or attacked.
Every precaution was taken at the
time of her departure.
The portfolios IN all the cabins were
painted black, so that no light might
reveal the liners presence, while at
the foot of each companionway there
were piles of blankets and life pre-
servers. The llfebosts on the upper
deck contained four days supply of
biscuits. hardtack and water.
A United States Press dispatch from
"a British post" says:
"The liner St. Louis. first passenger

Der of shots. and when the liner neared

Independents Join
With Democrats
Control House
Clark's Reelection Seems
Sure; Mann Offers to
Withdraw
rFrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington. March 26 Accession 10
the Democratic ranks of at least four
OF the FIVE Independents in the new
House practically assures not only the
PREDICTION of Champ Clark as Speaker,
but a complete Democratic organza-
tion instead of the bipartisan control
proposed by minority leader Mann. The
gain in Democratic voting strength was
revealed by Representative Randall,
Prohibitionist member from California,
and one of the five Independents who
hold the balance of power.
Representative Randall, commenting
on an offer made to-day by Representa-
tive Mann TO retire from the Speaker
shin race, declared that the Republican
leader would certainly nave failed of
election, as enough of the Independents
had agreed TO vote with the Democrats
to give the Administration party con-
troll in both houses The Republicans
and Democrats have PA members each,
and as 2lS votes are required 10 elect
a Speaker. four certainly, and possibly
all the Independents, have lined up
with the Administration.
Democrats Knew Strength
The attitude of the Democrats for
several days has indicated that they
had won over the independents. Speak
er Clark and other party spokesmen
could not nave made such confident
predictions without foreknowledge as
TO where the balance of power would
swing
As matter Of fact. many of the Re-
publicans did not want Mann as Speak
er. and the new alignment Of lndepend-
ents. as well as Mann's own withdrawal,
solves a difficult problem for them. The
Tribune has reliable information that.
had Mr.. Mann been a candidate for the
Speakership, at least one Republican
member would have remained away
from Washington until the fight was
over.
81 have come TO the conclusion" said
nr. Mann in his statement to-day, that
the House ought to be organized along
non partisan OF bipartisan llnes' SO
far as | am personally concerned, am
ready 10 withdraw from the contest for
the Speakership. ! have not consulted
with Republican colleagues since my
return. | have given the matter serl.
Gus reflection. however, and am willing
Low 10 cooperate in a non-partissn or
ganiZstion Of the House.
Opposes Partisan Fight
This. of course, would mean the re-
election of Champ Clark. Other details
would have TO be worked out. II we are
to go TO war we do not want any parti-
san politics. II we are to have peace
we should not bring II about by parti-
san politics. Unanimity is needed in
this country at this critical juncture.'
Mr.. Mann reached Washington at 2
o'clock to-day from Haiti. He said that
while absent he had had much time
for reflection" and. while ne had not
been committed TO non-partissn
House organization before leaving re-
Election had convinced him that II
should be brought about
