Ideal Style
Created for
Work Garb
BY JEAN PATOU

Noted French Couturier Nov Visiting
IN the United States
NEW YORK. April 1.-THE new
tailored dresses. intended for morn
ing or early afternoon wear. seem
to constitute a special and alto
gether novel category Of clothes.
They are ideal for the busy mod
eIn woman-one who likes to get
through a mornings shopping. for
example. before going TO a luncheon
party.
Although they are family rem
iniscent Of certain sports ensem-
bles. with touches usually set aside
for afternoon clothes. these new
dresses have a very determined
character
Placed in Sports Class
The choice Of fabrics and color
ines and the sobriety of both cut
and line place this fashion in the
sports class. but it also carries the
kind of trimming that would be
quite out Of place on sports
model.
Another thing: The general APP
pearance of these new dresses sug-
gests Formally rather than other
wise This. of coure. is enhanced by
the trimming. which forms an in
tegral part Of the model and no
longer is used to outline a decollete
or some detail of cut
Tweed fabrics and Weaves often
are employed: and while they pos
sess a certain clement of decorative
ness in themselves. they need the
relief of trimming in a contrasting
color
This new style has demanded
careful study and consideration in
order to produce models that would
not have a hybrid look.
Determined Character Given
I had TO be careful, while Dor
rowing such details as a fitted
waistline and a longer skirt from
afternoon models, to give it de-
termined character.
IN the soft thin materials set
aside for afternoon wear, the ma
tural waistline is charming. but in
a material usually intended for
sports clothes. the wasted effect
is inclined to be less becoming, the
medium lending itself less favorably
to this line.
That is why. is all the new style
dresses 1 just have mentioned. when
the waistline is accentuated, you
will invariably find a bloused effect,
used to soften the general outline.

Further Weakness In Com

BY CHARLES F. sPEARE.


NEW YORK, october 17.-Stocks
slipped to lower levels today. Pivotal
issues were heavy from the outset and
their tone was not improved by the
renewed weakness in commodities. The
Street, too, continued to look to Wash
inRton for news, as President Hoover
last night conferred with Bernard M.
Baruch Charles Hayden and Alfred
P. Sloan.
Rail Group Weakest.
Railroad Shares stood out as the
weakest group but virtually every sec
tion of the list recorded new lows for
the year or longer. Three Of the high
est grade carriers, New York Central,
Union Pacific and Atchison, the first
two at new minimum quotations for
the year, were prominent on the down
side.
General Electric broke to a new low
at, 525k before rallying at midday.

The opening was influenced by the
preponderance of tinfaVorable overnight
Developments. The ardor OF bull traders
was chilled by heavy selling of bank
stocks and trust shares after the close
of Thursdays market. This develop
ment followed circulation of rumors by
several bear traders. -
Drab items from the business world
such as further declines in leading
commodities, curtailments in production
and dividend omissions or reductions
were not Offset either by the gain in
building or sporadic increases in retail
trade. The gain In bankers bills was
merely seasonal.
Averages Lower.
Persistent selling in the first three
hours carried the average price of 30
stocks to their lowest level of the year
and below the bottom reached in No

today stood at 1895, compared with

Although the rails stood out on the
tape because of their weakness. the
averages revealed the Public Utilities

today suffered the biggest Shrinkage,
being down from 1889 to 1895. In
this same period rails were of from

1875 to 1874.
Trading UP to 1880 amounted to

belief that the automotive industry
would show little improvement until

FOREIGN BUSINESS
OUTLOOK IS BETTER
Chamber of Commerce off,
CiaI Says Morale Has Not
Been Broken.

Responsible business leaders IN some
important European countries are be-
ginning to take q more cheerful view
of the outlook for the coming months.
This is the comment Of II. G. MacLean,
American administrative commissioner
at the Paris headquarters Of the Inter-
national Chamber of Commerce, In q
report to the American section of that
organization here. Mr.. MacLean thinks
It should be thoroughly understood In
the United States that. whatever the
economic difnculties abroad, European
morale has not been broken, and he
emphasizes the Importance Of psyche
logical factors.
"There is still acute distress in the
agricultural countries, particularly those
Of Eastern Europe. which have been
discussing the possibility Of collective
action at conferences held during the
| Summer" Mr.. MacLean says THE
dumping Of Russian products has be-
come q serious menace, but no feasible
plan for meeting this abnormal compe-
| tition has been devised.
Political agitation. which may be
/ either the cause or the result of un-
satisfactory economic conditions, is
| again widespread. Germany Is the OUT
standing ex9mple, and the results of the
| recent elections in that country caused
apprehension, which expressed itself In
heavy declines In the quotations for
German bonds and in sales of German
exchange in sufficient volume to neces-
state gold shipments in support Of the
mark However the FIRST nervousness
Is wearing of, and on second thought It
Is realized that the policy of the Ma
tional-Socialists Is so extreme that It
could hardly gain the support of suf-
flcient number to make its carrying out
! possible, while Its success at the polls
4 was sufficient to demonstrate to the
constitutional group the pressing need
4 for composing their differences in order
4 to nTAintain a stable government"

SCARCITY OF STOCKS IS HELD
NOT DUE TO SHORT SELLING
Circulation of False Rumors on Exchange
Resulted in Calling of Securities by
Brokers, Is Claim.

Gates where such stocks are about to
pay a dividend, because the dividend
checks would be mailed to the tnsolvent
firm when such payments really De-
longed to the lender OF the stock.
Such an attitude naturally causes
some extra handling of stocks. Where
price differences come UP, either be-
cause the stock is selling at less or
more when 1t was borrowed or loaned
to the suspended firm, these matters
have to be Strengthened out.
Where such differences fall on firms
dealing with Prince & Whitley, the
former are protected. because the New
York Stock Exchange memberships of
the latter, If necessary, can be sold and
the proceeds utilized to protect the
firms. Nevertheless, all these techni-
Calities involve so much work that any
firm would rather not do business with
another firm that may be In the slight
est financial difficulty. All of the re-
cent false rlimors naturally caused con-
siderable apprehension and therefore

had to or wished to.

If such stocks were not loaned. these
