standing features Is that every print

counting system- A heavy fine will be
levied on those selling printed ma
teria! for less than cost under the
coBe. . . . ; ( ;;!;

tlve from the Port Publishing com

PRICES SOMEWHAT
LOWER IN MARKET
NEW YORK. Deo. 13 UP) Stocks
were in a drifting mood today and
prices generally slipped to moderately
lower levels as grains turned soft and
other commodities were hesitant, op
erations were confined largely to the
professionals, however, and the trad
ing volume contracted on the de
clines. The close was easy. Transfers
approximated 1,460.000 shares.
