Lake made another new high record,

Boston. Mass, Dec. 17.-There was
a tremendous boiling speculation today
i'm which Lake was the leader. Trans
actions were on an enormous scale and
indiscriminate speculation was indulg-
ed in. So extreme was the excitement
that it would seem as though caution
should be used in making further pur-
chases. The market is full of stop loss
orders and something of even a slight
~ unfavorable nature is likely to cause
quite a change in its complexion.-Irv-
