panicky feeling on the Stock Exchange. Lake Shore
and Pacific Mail suffered most Tho fluctuations

in the late dealings that some strong parties were
supporting the market. and 1t closed considerably
higher than the lowest prices Eric an exception
to the general declining impetus of prices and did no
suffer from the raid mado on the other stocks 1t II
supposed healthy short interest has been created by
the late decline, and would not be surprising If the
controlling spirits induced the little operators to
by bidding up their favortes but the inherent weak
OF the market is shown by the serious decline in
prices under not extraordinary pressure.
President Jewet of Erie yesterday received propO-
sition from London-which will be found in ertcnso
esewhere-rcfcrring to plan of reorganization of the
company which presents many attractive features. An
