Paris. Nov 17 (Pl - The dress makers brow is ot the only thing that's puekered this season - not by q great deal.
 For puckering, amateur name for shirrinE, is the haute couture's ia . voritc way of treating sheer or sup pie fabrics for evening.
 Some of the collections just put forth by leading houses for their private trade feature shirred satin dresses with toe-length skirts.
 Straight shirring, rows and rows or it, Is decidedly smart.
 But rows and rows of shirrinP which form patterns triangular, circular or romantic-are smarter.
 Dressmakers here apply shirred patterns 10 evening dresses like appliqued embroidery.
 Small beads, strung on the shir- ring thread with every third oi four tiny stitch are the newest thing in shirring,

ACTIVITY AT LOW
 EBB 0N MARKET
Large Volume Of New Offerings
 Contributes to DullneSS

New York, Nov. IT LP5-An up- ward trend was maintained by the bond market today, although the forward movement was less emphat- ic than last week and activity was at low cbb. The uncertain movement of the share market and the largest volume Of new offerings in some time contributed to the dullness.
 Offerings of short term notes and bend issues totaling $4O,000.0OU rep resented more than twice the vol ume of lastWeek, which closely ap- proXinated the smallest weekly to- tai of the year. The increased of ferings were attributed 10 the re- vival of interest in bonds that de- vcloped last week.
 The tax exempt federal land bank bonds, carrying 412 per cent cou- pons, were quickly oyer subscribed The $20,000,000 issue. the first of fercd by the system this year, was due to needs of some banks for ad- ditional funds, although the offering is made in the name of all l ? banks Other issues included the City of Chicago school districts S12500,000 four per cent issue, and $2000O00 fives of the Calgary Power Co.,, Ltd, of Canada.
 While the money market has re- mained very easy during the first half of the month, q gradual change bringing about the greatest strin- gency of the year in December is anticipated by bankers. Firmcr con- ditions will be established through the expansion of the volume of money in circulation. It is estimated that banks throughout the country soon will pay SG0O,0O0,000 to Christ mas savings clubs dcposi.ors. De cembcr ordinarily is the period of the tightest condition of the year in the money market and this year is expected to prove no exception.

Stock Market Suffers Relapse Today as Result of Fatigue By
 Prolonged Rally of Last Week
Bear Retreat Appears to Have Swept Amateur Shorts From Field Mo- mentarily.

New York, Nov IT lol-Fatigued by last weeks prolonged rally, the stock market suffered d pronounced relapse today
 The market lacked last weeks stimulus of short covering, as the bear retreat appeared 10 have swept the amateur short from the field for the moment. Furthermore, investors were unwilling to make further pur- chases at advancing prices pending further testing Of recent levels. The market, therefore, showed little re- sistanco to profit taking sales.
 Although trading was in moder- ate volume q long list of popular stocks dropped 10 { points, but few came within striking distance Of their recent lows. Bethlehem Steel, DuPont, Eastman and Case lost four or more. and Allied Chemical six points.
 The copper stocks, which showed the way to higher levels last week. reacted substantially. Anaconda, kennecott, Cerro de Pasco, and American Smelling lost 7 to points. Other shares losing , or more in- cluded L. s, Steel, Westinghouse Electric American Telephone, American Can, American Water works, Columbia Gas and North American.
 Copper Shares Unsettled
 The copper shares were unsettled by report that some ot the metal had been offered as low as Il F cents a pound after last weeks rise from S F tc , cents but this report lacked confirmation. Leading pro- duccrs were sad to be standing firm ly on their price of I2 cents, and eX- port buying on that basis was in fair volume. although substantially less active than last week.
 The weekly advices of economic services rather omphatical- ly suggested that investors go slowly, pending conclusive proof of business recovery. Moody's pointed out that while loans 10 brokers have been re- duccd by about 70 per cent since 1929, total speculative credit outstanding, including the large volume Of bank loans on se- curitics. had come down by only about 3S per cent This analysis pointed out that bank loans are fundamentally sounder than broker age loans but added that the large volume suggests a slow rather than any sort of fast recovery in stock prices. after the turn has been passed
 Exports Dropped
 The October foreign trade figures showed that exports were off about 3S per cent from last year and inn ports 56 1-2 per cent. Exports show ed a gain Of about S10. O0G.GGG over September, which is less than sea- sonal, but imports were up about &9t, 100000, an encouraging gain. It was pointed out however that the dollar volume decline from last year apears worse than it is, since prices have shrunk about 10 or r per cent.
 Intensive efforts to sta5j).zc the grain market tended 10 make spec EIators in stocks hcsitant until more decided results apepar. A statement ny Premier Brackcn Of Manitoaa that there appeared no foundation for the fear that the pool would 1nnp a large quantity of grain on the market was reassuring.
 There was little demand for call money and funds were freely offer cd in the outside market at one DOT cent although the load desk rate was .tLLl .N.n
