BONDS ARE STRONG

German and Brazilian Cred
its Continue Recovery.
Junior Rails Gain.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 30.-Bonds were
again strong today on a moderate vol
ume of trading.
There were a number of special de-
velopments that affected groups of in
vestments. The Reichstag's rejection of
motions to institute Young plan mora
torium proved bullish point for Ger
man issues. Brazilian credits continued
their recovery under news of further
consolidation of the new governments
position and proof of its sincerity by
stopping the further issue of paper cur
rency authorized by the late govern
ment.
At home, reports that the Van Swer-
ingens had obtained control of the Chi
cago e. Eastern Illinois put new life
into the junior rail group, with accom-
panying advances. Further earnings re-
ports had varying effects on the indus
trial list. Money rates were unchanged.
German issues featured the opening

points at one time. Later they backed

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, october 30-The women
of America have a chance to be better
dressed this autumn at lower cost than
they have ever been before. They may
have to shop around to do it, but execu-
tives in the dry goods and womens wear
lines say emphatically 1t can be done.
They add that designers and makers are
putting better work and better materials
into their products than ever before.
This fact is leading women shoppers
to the smaller, cheaper and less exclu-
sive stores. The more exclusive, high
priced speciality stores are feeling the
effects, merchants say, because even the
wealthiest women are attracted to the
cheaper stores by beauty of design and
materials.
Price Reductions.
The real sufferers will be the French
designers, whose products heretofore
have yielded their main revenue from
the American trade. American makers
are buying a single Paris model and
turning out duplicates by the hundreds
They are taking full advantage of
American methods of mass production
and of modern equipment and the eff
cheney of American labor. This plan
is far from new but heretofore the du-
plications have usually been in cheaper
materials thar those found in the orig
inals, and the workmanship of the
French needlewomen appeared to stand
alone.
Now the cost Of raw dress materials
and of those used in production of
lingerie, shoes, stockings. hats, hand
bags, gloves and other commodities is
such that the finest materials can be put

CARTEL NEGOTIATIONS

NEW YORK. October 30.-Negotia-
tions to preserve the European steel
cartel are at a critical point according
to cabled advices just received by the
Business Week from Paris. Conference

Sales comptoirs. strongly advocated for
some time, have now been abandoned
because of general inability to control
the output OF various members in
pinched times.
France seems to be source Of the most
recent dif1culties, according to the
cables. Since the failure of all other
plans, members of the cartel propose re-
turning to the old basis of production
regulation. France, in the original
scheme, was allowed 81 per cent of total
annual production of 32.287 900 tons

partment stores sell the models at a
marked reduction from these figures. BY

tageously located shops are reached a

original in fine material may possibly be
bought for 10 per cent of the cost Of
the latter.
Effect of Low Rents.
The cost varies directly with store
overhead. The shops where prices are
cheapest are those which pay lowest
rents, which do a cash business and
where the customer carries the article
purchased away with her. In these
shops if alterations are necessary they
are made while the customer waits and
they are not usually charged for, as is
the custom in many of the more ex-
pensive establishments.
These trends, according to wholesalers
who do business throughout the coun-
try, are in evidence in nearly every city
The wholesalers add that merchants
never were buying so carefully or In
such small quantities as now. They
may buy frequently, but they take only
few numbers at a time, and 1t is no
ticeable the number Of garment sizes Is
extremely limited. This is true even in
the larger institutions, which GUS
tomarily carry good supplies of the less
called for sizes.
Garment producers and wholesalers
are conSoling themselves with the
knowledge that when the depression is
over and buying commences really to
assert itself there will be a rush to fill
department store demands such as has
never before been experienced in the
history of merchandising in this country.

a domineering attitude and a
propensity to scold and belittle

Fashions of Today
Simplicity in Shoes.
ny MARIE sHALMAR.

Longer skirts seem to demand shoes
OF a less ornate sort than those that
were so often worn with short skirts
Especially necessary Is the quality Of
simplicity In shoes when they are to be
worn with long evening gowns or the
more formal afternoon dress with long
skirt drapery. The simplicity. however,
Il more apparent than 1t is obvious. for
on close inspection some OF the SEEM
ingly simple pump and slippers will re-
veal fine pipings and strappings OF con-
trasting leather or fabric.
There Is much variety In heels, and
here, as in other matters Of dress 1t Is
increasingly important to determine the
style according to the occasion. For
formal afternoon or evening wear heels
give the appearance of height, though
there Is much difference between the
very high heels that some smart women
choose for these occasions and the low
high heels thAt other just as smart
women prefer.
The longer skirts and more generous
fullness of skirts this season demand
straight, graceful bodily lines. and II
you find that very high heels tend to
tilt the body forward, then your choice
should be the medium or lower versions
Of the high heel
The nat, broad heels Of the sports
sort are not correctly chosen for any
thing save actual sports wear. Oxfords
and strap shoes OF the sort appropriate
TO wear with the spectator sports type
OF costume carry moderate, straight
heels that are for more fiatterinR to
most feet than the extremely broad sort

to take it off more slowly say five

as more concentrated one, should

stout to go on a diet as liquid as pos
sible.
In the morning, couple of glasses
of hot water-this 1 advise for both fat
and thin, young, old, healthy and feeble,
for its wonderful tonic effect. Break

than posridge, a boiled egg, rather than
bacon and eggs, then coffee or tea.
