E. Applegate Associated Press Financial Writer NEW YORK. May 2.—Stocks re covered more lost ground in an ac tive market today and approached their best average level in 21 months. Demand for shares hit such a fast clip early that the ticker tape fell behind as much as two minutes for a brief period. Sales of 660.000! shares were recorded in the fastest first hour since Monday. Some of the oils, rails and liquors were singled out for special atten tion. Although not all of the initial gains were retained, bullish senti ment remained widespread. Such discouraging situations as the continued deadlocks in negoti ations on automotive, coal and rail disputes were virtually ignored. Washington Exchange SALES.
