Washington, April 15-UP)-- Brisk Easter trade buoyed Ameri- can business this week and activity in jor branches of trade reached it's highest levels since early February, commercial advices in- dicate today.
 Already stimulated by q series of constructive developments, rising business tendencies were carried further by the usual pre- Easter retail buying season. Stores were crowded and shoppers were re- ported as numerous as q year ago. Buying was helped by favorab ble weather in many sections
 Rising prices for many comn0d- itics accompanied the further in- Droyement in business as manu- facturers came into the market for raw materials on the theory prices might rise further. Lifting of price levels is one of the main eco- homie objects of the administra- ton.
 Most Of the larger industries re- ported increased activity and in some cases greater employment. The steel industry stepped up it's output from 16 1-2 to 13 l-2 per cent of capacity in the face of hardening prices for many steel products.
 Preparations by the automobile industry for the spring season were partly responsible for the improvement in the steel industry and estimates in the auto trade placed the prospective output this m nf n ytf, t<.f. r., of January when output was boI- stered by new model production.
 Electrical energy output, which IS extremely sensitive to minor changes in general business, made u most favorable showing In many months. Production was gradually closing the gap from 4 year ago, output in the week ended April s. showing loss of only 45 per cent from the corresponding period of last year, while in the previous week the loss was 5.3 per cent.
 The transportation industry be- gan to share in the moderate i'm provenent In other industries, while President Roosevelt proposed to submit to congress q railroad re- lief plan ealing for appointment of a federal coordinator. Three long depression years have placed many railroads in q position where aA tive aid by the administrations js necessary.
 general loosening Of pocket books and q corresponding rise in revenues of the federal govern ment was reported in many soc- tionb In Connecticut with the legal iZhtion of the sale Of beer. While falling short Of "bringing back prosperity. the sale of the bcvcr- age has contributor to increased buainess in some sections.
 Evidence of q better feeling" in business quarters was indicated Tn various corporation stock holders meetings. Eugene Grace, president of Bethlehem Steel cor poration, told his stockholders this week that operations have shown q definite upturn.

AMERICAN DOLLAR

New York. April 15--UP)-- The American dollar declined again in foreign exchange quota tions in New York to-day.
 It was the third day Of weakncas in the American currency and tradnrS still were uncertain as to what to attribute the weakness, some observers believe there ls q strong possibility of a short inter- est having been built up on mls- conception, recalling bear raids of the past which have worked out to the disadvantage of the raiders.
 In the opening dealings to-day foreign currency gained at the ex- pepse of the dollar with the pound sterling quoted at 3.44M, up M. while the French franc was at .039s up K.
 This waa contrary to the light foreign exchange dealings In Lon don and Paris where the dollar gained as result Of lower quota tlons on foreign currcncies.
