ANTITRUST CASES MOVE
REVIVES MARKET ACTIVITY

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE reas-
signment for argument of the anti
trust cases revived speculative activity
in stocks this week, on the assumption
that business activities would not await
the practically indefinite -postponemeut
of these decisions. The check TO the
gold outgo encouraged the resumption
of bullish activity.
Rumors of an increase in the United
States Steel dividend were accompanied
by confident predictions of future trade
activity from official sources. Trade
organs. however, discussed pigiron cur
tailment owing TO signs of over-pro-
duction, n copper prices were Gu
sharply. Prices for grain, cotton and
provisions declined and crop prospects
were improved. Settlements of labor
disputes made progress. The necessity
for additional corporation financing was
believed to supply a motive for foster
ing stock market strength.
