MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

NEW YORK. June 17.-stocks were less
active during the morning session, but the
undertone was decidedly firm. The gold
shipments and disposition to await further
developments at ST. Louis account for the
hesitancy. The average trader is convinced
that the stock market is certain to rule high
or in the near future because of the victory
of tho gold advocates at st. Louis. Specula.
ton at II o'clock was quiet and firm. Stocks
were more active after IL o'clock and prices
improved all along the line.
There was decided change in the temper
of speculation at the Stock Exchange in the
afternoon session, and the early strength gave
way to weakness. One rumor which upset
the bulls was to the effect that the republican
plasform will contain plank in favor of
armed Intervention by the United States in
the Cuban matter.
