STOCKS HIGHER AND RAMPANT.
The "buls' are beginning now to De as incapable
OF seeing the top OF prices as were the bears last
winter TO see the bottom. The speculation In the
stock market to-day was strongly excited, and led TO
further remarkable advance In prices, despite the
high figures which had been already attained. AS
usual on Fridays. when a great deal OF regular
stock is sold In order that deliveries may
be made on Saturday and accounts for the
week all closed out by Saturday night, the early
buoyancy was arrested by tnis movement and about
noon prices were only steady under the neutraza-
ton Of orders to buy and sell. Exceptionally Lake
Shore had run up from 1927 to l11s, but went back
11OX under the realizatlons referred to. The de.
mand for stock was, however greater than the sup.
ply thus afforded, ana wher, toward the close OF
banking hours money was found 30 easy, the specu-
latlon burst into Juror and almost ran
wild. Several stocks long reckoned s.asleepn were
brought into the exciting arena Of the Long Room
and given rise OF several per cent. In fact the
speculative appetite is 20 thoroughly aroused that
the buyer OF stock who doesn't get profit OF one
or two per cent In as many hours Is discontinued
with his lluck and ready to throw 1t aside for one
more lively. For this reason Lake Shore has kept
the leadership SO far In the race 70 higher

the st. Paul stocks, Union Pacific, Read
