One Of the simplest yet most useful ac-

AJAX air gauge, a new device for testing
the pressure Of air in tires. This little
vest pocket size invention, which ia only
four inches long and weighs but few
ounces. is manufactured exclusively for
the Aiax-Grieb Rubber Company. The
pressure may he tested instantly by mere
lH placing the instrument the valve.
Air escaping through the valve into the
gauge causes a graduated plunger to ex-
tend a the opposite end of the gauge so
that reading of the number of pounds

RRICES REBOUND
In STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, April 11.-There
was a sudden spasm of activity In
the stock market today upon the
announcement of a reassignment
for argument before the supreme
court of the American tobacco
and Standard oil cases.
The buying of stocks was hur-
ried and urgent, and at rapidly
advancing quotations. That it
came largely from uncovered
shorts was obvious, the profess
sional bears having sold stocks
in the early dealings on rumor
that a decision adverse to the
American tobacco company would
be handed down today.
This mood of the speculation
had been aggravated by the speech
of the attorney general in Chi
cago Saturday night, and by the
intention there announced to eX-
tend the scope of government
prosecutions of corporations to the
bituminous coal combination, and.
inferentially, to others.
There was the additional con-
sideration that the reopening of
the two leading antitrust cases
implied a balance of opinion in the
court itself that left the members
unsatisfied to promulgate de-
cision in cases of such wide scope
and Importance.
The delay which must now occur
in reaching a final decision in the
cases was accepted as a measure
of relief from the condition of sus-
pense which the weekly specula-
ton of a possible decision has held
over the stock market. BY those
who have held that the immediate
suspense of this question has been
a repressive influence on enter
prise, the changed condition was
regarded hopefully.
Other considerations were sub
merged by the Importance at
tached to the new position of the
antitrust cases.
Bidding for stocks to test the
market revealed a small floating
supply of offerings. The dropping
tendency of grain and cotton
prices gave force to favorable
auguries of the crops.
Interest rates for time loans
were advanced again, and call loan
rates started the week at 8 y per
cent, Influenced by both the bank
statement of Saturday and the be-
lief that further gold engage
ments would be made this week.
The fact that the Bank of Eng
Sand secured the bulk of the South
African gold arriving in London
without competition bore on the
situation.
The statement of agricultural
exports for March showed an in
crease in value, but a falling off
in amount of cotton exports, COM
pared with March of last. year,
which served to alter the discrep
ancy from the normal flour export
trade, which has been glazing for
many months.
The tone of the bond market con-
tinued irregular, but there was
some improvement at some points.
Total sales (par value), $2,275,
600.
United States bonds were I'M
changed on call.

The market for eggs and dairy produce opened
the week with all three descriptions Arm and
