Stocks Recover in Afternoon After

and Declines,
BY THOMAS C. sHOFwELL.


New York. May 1.-THE. recovery In
stocks that took place to-day was i'm
portant, more because OF the improve
ment of sentiment than because of the
advance OF prices The price advances
were material. ranging more than a
point in leading issues, but sentiment,
witch had been Respondent the day be-
fore. was hopeful at the close to-day. In
many quarters this confidence extended
so far as to lead to expressions that new
high records would be made within a
few days.
Nobody paid much attention TO specific
stocks until the afternoon. when II be-
came evident that the decline had been
completely checked and the market
turned back toward higher levels. Al
though copper metal sold at 161z cents a
pound for the first time since the great
panic, the copper shares did not snow as
much vitality as other stocks. They
barely held their own and leading oper-
ators were suspected Of liduidating them.
It is probable that there is liquidation
on the part OF many shareholders VINO
have been holding the stocks for years
waiting for a chance to get out, but the
great operators are not done with the
copper share market by any means. nor

Comptroller Murray has determined

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. I'm ex-
planning why he refused to let Wag-
ner. Hendrix and OToole go to Cuba
to play ball this winter, Barney Drey-
fuss says:
transforming under reasonable
conditions Is all right, but there is a
limit. An athlete who Is acclmated
to the temperate zone should not go
into the tropics to play ball. In Cuba
a man is likely TO contract malaria or
other fevers. When a club picks up
young man, pays him a good salary,
carries him along at an expense that
mounts into thousands and develops
him into real ball player, the own
err OF that club should have some
thing to say about the risks he takes
of running bis health.
These Cuban trips are not good
for any ball player. During the sea-
son just ended we had some ex-

Cuba. Mitchell Is grand player, but
his batting was away on during this
season. Grover Cleveland Alexander

National pitchers, played In Cuba last
winter Not until late In the season

There are numerous other in
stances that might be recounted IN
arguing against letting ball players
go into the tropics to play. Tom
O'Brien, who was with us In 1899,
went on a trip to Cuba. He was one
of the most promising young men L
ever knew. He was seized with what
seemed seasickness, but he never got
over 1t. Since O'Brien died I've
watchd the effects OF these Cuban
trips and I'm opposed to seeing ball
players going. over there"
