A More Hopeful Pooling Prevailed in the
 Stock Circles.

 A More Hopeful Pooling Prevailed in the
 Stock Circles.
 New York; June 15-A most hopeful feeling prevailed in stock circles to-day and the market broadened considerably. There was good buying for both home and foreign account, and in the late trading the shorts, who had been fight ing the rise all day long, fell into line. London buying cut quite figure in the dealings, and the orders embraced a wider range than of late. Business was also on larger scale.
 The underlying cause for this in- creased activity and the improvement in prices was the impression, after wards confirmed by Senator Lodge, that the St Louis convention would put gold plank in the platform. The May statement of the bureau of statistics shows an excess of exports of produce and merchandise over imports of over $9, 900 and the light engagement of
 
 favorable influence. The gain in prices was equal to 12@& per cent, and was we'll distributed.
 A feature of the trading was the ab- sorption of the high priced stocks and the ease with which these issues moved up on light offerings, Lackawanna ris- ing to 164, Lake Shore to 153l2 and Con solidated Gas to 15S. Reports of larg- CT car movement at the west and south west stimuated purchases of the grain and crop carrying roads generally. The strength of Sugar was the subject of comment in view of the reduction of 1-16 cent. per pound in refined and the decentralization of the market for raws abroad. The stock opened at 120% co 121H, ex-diyidend of per cent, and ad- vanced steadily to 122%, brokers iden- tified with lower Wall street interests being the largest buyers. The report of an extra dividend on the common stock was again renewed.
 The internationals. anthracite coalers and specialties were all taken freely on the way up, and the feeling at the close | was more confident than for a long | time. United States Rubber shares were exceptionally weak, and on Iiqut- dations declined IF to 1SA for the com | mon and 1h to 791s for the preferred. l The selling was said to. be for inside ac- count, and there was some talk of new competition Reading was traded in, second assessment paid, and held firm throughout. Net changes show ad- vances of h@2ta per cent, outside Of Rubber, which lost 1A per cent.
 Bonds were active and strong. The sales were $1 630, ,000.
