New York, April 7.—The specul tive element regarded the day's stock market as slow. The sales for the day in themselves indicate a deep cut in the volume of the market from the recently prevailing average. - Then, though the reactionary tendency of yesterday was arrested and some sign of recovery effected, the remewed ad- vance lacked vigor and breadth. T speculative element had an explan tion for the halt that they themselv and large operators in gemeral were disinclined to enter on extensive new commitments Wwith a three-day closed interval facing them at the end of the week with the Easter holidays. In spite of the lapse into dullness the undertone of the speculation was strong, KEvents of an unfavorable na- ture were dis garded or treated with no other apparent feeling than relief that they were disposed of. Outside of the coalers the strong siv ks were found amongst industrials and such minor railroad stocks as are classi- fied with the specialties. Specific news to account for these moves was lack- ing and these were attributed in part at least to professional manipulation for gympathetic effect In sustaining prices in the general list Atchison was only slightly affected by the keep- ing of th dividend at the odd rate, though speculative rumors were in cir- culation at one time of an Intention to advance the rate, London sold some stocks in_this market, especially U. S. Steel.

Some Do’s and Don’ Season. for the Spring Frank Chance, captain of the world’s champions, comeés out with a little pre- season advice for ball players 'who want to attain success. Chance passes it out this way: e Go to bed early and eat regularly. Eat a light meal before going to the grounds, Get a bat that sults your strength. Many & good bitter iz spolled by bis at. Keep your eve on the ball. p Keep ‘thinking. Never ead. Remember that inside work is often more effective than hitting. Remember that your team mates are part of the machine and when you feel friction help eliminate it. [ Boost the youngsters. Your words help them. DON'T Be anxious to’start the season. Try to get in shape before training begins, Worry about making your team. If you fail other teams will need you. Try to show off in the spring and {njure your arm. Get a swelled head when the papers boost you. Smoke too many. cigarettes or to- baceo. Det downheatred. Remember a call- ing is for your good. Drink. This is the worst thing a player can do.
