In Wall Street,

New York, June 1.-The stock market started off with every promise of increased activity and higher range of prices. The bulls were greatly encouraged by the re- eeipt of better prices from London, as well as a number of buying orders from that cen ter. Cable advices were to. the effect that the foreigners were more disposed to take holders of Americans on account of the in terview given by J. P. Morgan in London on Friday. in which he gave assurances that whoever secured the presidential election would have to do so upon the gold standard. the sharp rise in consols and kaffirs, the re- suit of President Kruger's clemency in the don, according to competent authorities, purchased fully, 10000 shares of St. Paul, here today. A belief that congress will ad- journ this week induced local operators to make new ventures on the bull side of the account. Another favorable factor was the small engagement of gold for. shipment to Europe, only s6Oo,0og having been ordered M dhe nso tb ne de99eSopy banks like s2,000,00O on bond account.
