UPWARD MOVE IS STOCKS FEATURE
Niagara Hudson Reaches New
 High Point for Year

New York, April I tP - The steady upward movement of recent weeks on the curb market showed signs of tagging at the beginning of the new week today. Profit taking was in large volume, and forward progress slow, but operators for the advance continued to press their ad- vantage.

 Fox Theaters. "A" was a strong feature of the industrials and spe- cialties, rising more than points to new high ground for the year above II, reflecting announcement of the settlement of the reflnancing controversy through sale of William FoX's holdings to syndicate head cd by H.

MARKET COLLAPSE
 HURTS COUTUR|ERS
Style Designers in Paris Also
 Suffer From ''PiratS'
BY MINOTT SAUNDERS

Paris, April - With American buyers holding down on expenses, and fashion pirates buster than ever, this has been 8 lean season for the celebrated couturiers of Paris. Com plaints about business are wide spread.
 The slump in the American trade has been attributed to the effects of the recent stock market collapse. Veteran buyers representing large American houses came this year with a much smaller budget than in seasons past One prominent dressmaker has estimated that this season he only sold one-flfth as many gowns for export to America as ordinarily. The conclusion in the trade here is that American houses feared there would be a greatly de- creased demand for luxury articles.
 German Preparation?
 Disappointment in the American market was, however, somewhat softened by a marked increase in sales to continental buyers, partic- ularly German. The German repre- sentatives bought freely and chose expensive models, indicating a greater demand for French clothes than has existed since the war.
 Some idea of the activity of pirate copyists was given by the police when it was announced that in a raid on one Paris firm 300 models were seized. They were in the forms of unbleached d cotton goods, the spoils of sorties in prominent houses. Sketche es and documents were also taken for inquiry and prosecution.
 Another satisfaction to the couturiers is that they have at last won a smashing victory over copyists. The 18th Correctional Court here awarded four fashion houses damages of 100000 francs in their suit against two firms that had reproduced about 100 of their models. This is the highest fine imposed for copying couture productions since the law went into effect in 179S. In this latest case. it was proven that a woman dressmaker smuggled pat terms out of the house in sections, returning them the next day after they had been copied.
 Battling Style Pirates
 This is the first real victory after three years of work by the Chambre Syndicate de la Couture In the past such small fines were imposed that houses found it hardly worth while to prosecute. Also it is difficult to pin pirating on those guilty of it because the copyist may change the style slightly, with flower or a bow perhaps.
 Copyists have become so or ganinzed, however, that they have been able to put models on the market at greatly reduced prices before the houses where they were conceived had" even shown the originals. Reputable buyers are with the couturiers in sup. pressing this pirating because il means the slashing of prices.

Trend Shifts Frequently Today
 In Stock Market With Up Swing
 In Afternoon On Low Call Money
Volume Is Fairly Heavy, Averaging More Than a Million Shares Per Hour in Early Sales - New Highs Hit by More Than 50 Stocks.

New York, April Pl-Frequent shifts of speculative sentiment characterized today's stock market, with a sharp upward tendency de- veloping in the afternoon on the lowering of the call money rate from to S12 per cent. Bear traders made repeated efforts to unsettle the general list by hammering some of the public utilities, steels and specialties, but they made little headway as new leaders were in- variably brought forward in other sections of the list to revive bullish enthusiasm.
 Volume Fairly Heavy Trading was in fairly heavy volume, averaging more than mil lion shares an hour in carly trad. ing. Several blocks of 5000 to 4o,. 900 shares changed hands during the session,
 New high records for the year were established by more than 5t stocks the list including such out standing leaders as American Tele. phone, General Motors, U. S. Stee common, International Harvester and Standard Oil of New York. Except for the apparent settlement of the Fox Film controversy through the sale of the William Fox holdings of voting stock, there was little new. over the week end to influence mar. ket sentiment, while business new! continues spotty, many observers were inclined to the opinion tha' powerful financial interests were committed to the side of higher stock prices in order to facilitate the many merger deals now pending and to help improve business senti ment. Although conservative houses have urged profit taking in trading lines and caution in the making o new commitments, none of then openly advocate short selling at thi juncture.
 Fox Film Jumps

 Call money renewed at 4 per cen but the supply of funds became S plentiful that the rate was droppe to 1-2 in the early afternoon. Tim money and bankers acceptance rate held steady.
 United Aircraft. which was undo pressure last week as result of tn failure of the directors of the Ma tional Air Transport to approv merger terms, ran up l-2 points t a new high record at S6 l-o. Nationa Air Transport also moved into ne' high ground.
