'.'!-. . , i- ii - President -Wilson Visits Congress and Causes Speculation Washington, Aug. 26. President Wil son arrived at the. capital at 2:33 p. m. without advance notice of his intention to call on congress. . The president -went immediately .to the " president 'b room ' ' off the senate chamber. , . . He sent at once for Senator New lands, chairman of the senate inter state commerce commission and Sen ator Kern, democratic floor leader. After the president and two senators, with Secretary Tumulty, who arrived after the president, had been in con ference for 38 minutes, the president himself came out and spoke to the waiting newspapermen. Ho said he had come to the capitol on "certain matters of legislation." "I hope that is satisfactorv .' he said in conclusion.. He could uot discuss his visit beyond mat puuiE, ue saiu. He left immediately for Mi vi,;t House, Kern and Newlauds returning to the senate floor. At the Willard hotel, railroad presi dents in their "rival sessions", direct ing a proposal to submit to Ihe presi dent, w ere greatly puzzled by the news that he had gone to the capitol. They said thew knew M n0 step he could take until they had given him the proposition on which they had been working all day. Senator N'ewlands, prior to the ar rival of the president, had discussed informally with other senators the en actment of legislation bearing on the railroad controversy. One subject he took up was that of increasing the membership of. ,, the interstate com merce commission to nine, adding two members. He also discussed plans of arbitration that wpuld be in part com pulsory preventing .strikes or lockouts pending action by an arbitration board. Senator Kern,.-in--reply to questions, said there was no chance that there would be any action on the flocc .of the senate on the strike situation. Kor was there any thance .of such nctt n in oommittee," he said. Stock Brokers Await Railway Strike Outcome New York. 'Ann.' 2(1. The New York Evening Sun finaacial review toduv says: New committments' were light today, both traders and the outsiders appar ently being unwilling to extend their accounts pending more definite news from Washington regarding the railroad labor controversy, which to many op erators in stocks had taken a turn that might bring a widespread strike or a settlement at any moment. Following a weak opening, in which, however little stock came out, the gen eral tendency of prices was in the di rection of lower levels, without accom panying any marked depression or any indication on the part of real holders of securities of an intention to go into a panic because o'f the apparent gravity of the labor outlook in the American rail transportation business. Covering of shorts and uencrnl adiust- ments incident to the end of the week made up a good proportion of the early business in the list of prominent stocks, notably United States Steels, the rails and some of the coppers, covering at times being active enough to carry prices above their first records. Irregular movements murked trading in the last hour but the general level of market values presented an underlying firmness with first hour 'losses, in some instances in part or wholly recovered before the close. Wheat Prices Lower. Chicago, Aug. 20. Favorable reports from Alberta that the crop there will be a good one, helped to lower wheat prices today. Gains were 'made at the opening on bullish Liverpool cables. A flod of. selling orders jut befoio the close gave pit traders quite, a. surprise. Broker ' wire reports that a railroad .strike was certain, were said to be the cause. September closed two below the opening at $1.51 3-4; December down 1 at $1.5i; May down 2 at l.id." Corn followed wheat. I'p at the op ening on good buying, it weakened on the decline in wheat. September wns down half at 80; December dowu 7-8 at 75; May down half at 78 12. Increased offerings on the bulge were : responsible for a drop In oats after early gains made on strong buying. Sep tember was dowu half at '10'7 S;! De cember down 58 at 49 3-4; anil Muv down half at 53 1-4. Provisions were largely higher on a strong hog market. I Weekly Bank Statement. I New York, Aug. 20.
