COURT CASES AROUSE JNTEREST ouncement M for Argument of Ameriean To- bacco and St rd 01l Cases —Time Loans Hi NEW YORK, April 11.—There was a sud- den spasm of activity In the stock market today upon the announcement of & reas- signment for argument before the supreme court of the American Tobacco and Stand- ard Ol cases. The buying of stocks urgent and at rapid tons. That it came ered shorts was obvious, the professional bears having soid stocks in the early deal- ings on a 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 gttorney gereral in Chicago on Saturday night and by the intention there announced to extend the scope of government prosecutions of corporations to the bituminous coal combination, and in- ferentially, to athers. ‘here was the adcitional that the re-openi trust. cases implied a balance of opinian in the court itself that left the member unsatistled- to promulgate a decision in cases of such wide scope and importance. The delay which must now oceur in reach- ing & final decision in the cases was ac- cepted’ as a measure of rellef from the condition of suspense which the weekiy expectation of a pessible decision has held over the stock market, For those who have held that the immediate suspense of this question has been arepressive influ- ence on &Interprise the changed condition was regardcd hopefully. Oci.er considera- tions were submarged by the importance stiached to the new position of the sntl- trust cases. Bidding for etock to teSt the market revealed a small floating supply The drooping tendency of grain #nd cotton prices gave force to favorable auguries of the crops. Interest rates for time loans were ad- vanced again and the call loan rate started the wesk at 3% per cent, Influenced by both the bank statement of Saturday and the belief that further gold engage- ments would be made for this week's steamer The fact that the Bank of Eng- iand secured the bulk of the South African gold arriving in London without competi- tion bore on the situation. The statement of agriculture exports from March showed an increasen value, but a falling off in amount of cotton exports compared with March, Inst year, whicn served to alter the discrepancy from the normal in our export trade which has been glaring for many months, The tone of the bond market continued irregular, but there was some improvement at_some points.
