Douglas's have experienced another boom and the market has been excited, a large number of shares changing hands at a rapidly advancing rate until $70 was reached, at which the advance appears to be checked, at any rate for the moment, although many holders expect to part. at and are holding for $80; the market closes with sellers at $69.
