FRIDAY, Oct. 15-P. M.--The chief spec
uIativc feature Of the stock Exchange was Lake
Shore over which there were at times sharp
contests between the bulls and ucars, the price
advancing from 53h To- - - closing at the high
est figures Of the day The speculation, how
ever was entirely local, and as the short inter-
est In this stock has been generally covered the
purchases for a turn did not meet with so much
opposition rs would otherwise have been tho
fact. Those who have been saddled with this
stock at G07Gl, and who have submitted TO
heavy losses, are very naturally anxious to hold
the price steady until they can unload. West
