Listless Downward Price Drift
 Extends Without Interruption to
 Today's Session of Stock Market
Losses Again Range From 1 to 3 Points With Few Rails Declining.

New York, Dec. P-A listless downward drift of prices was ex- tended without interruption into an- other session of the stock market to- day.
 Losses again ranged from l to 3 points. A few of the rails penetrat- ed new low levels, but the list as ! whole held well above the bottom prices touched last month. Trading was extremely slow.
 Shares losing to points incluI- ed American Telephone. Allied Chemical, Air Reduction, Electric Auto Lite, North American, Sears Roebuck, Macy, Eastman, Delaware and Hudson, Underwood Elliott, Gill lette, Western Union, Coca Cola and Atchison, while issues losing a point or more included L. S. Steel. Radio. National Biscuit, Woolworth, Elec- ! tric Power and Light, Procter and 1 Gamble. New Haven, New York Gen. tral and Rock Island,
 | Lehigh Valley was firm, refecting declaration of the regular dividend. 1 RiChfeld Oil had an upturn during l the morning, but then lost it's ad- vance.
 Bears Cautious i Failure of the market to make any | bullish response to the announce ment of higher prices for plates shapes and bars by leading steel producers, in view Of the highly con- structive interpretation placed upon i it by some observers, evidently en- ! couraged a little bear selling. but the scant volume of trading made bears i cautious.
 With several retail sales reports 1 for November now available, it ap- pears that the dollar volume for most organizations was relatively i the poorest of the year. although this comparison is probably distort- ed by the decline in retail prices, which has been extensive, if not yet as great as the average drop in wholesale quotations. Furthermore, there were only A business days in ! Novemb Der of this year, against 25 in the same month q year ago. De- cember has an extra day, which should help it by comparison with q year ago.
 Sales Drop Of
 Woolworth reported November sales : 9-10 per cent off from last year. against an aggregate decline for the first l months of only 4 9-10, Kresge's November sales were of 10 S-1O per cent, against 4 5-lO for the entire 1 months.
 IL would appear from these that Montgomery Wards November re- port. showing drop of D per cent, reflected an individual situation, rather than general trade conditions. It is recalled that the company open ed several new stores a year ago, at which special sales efforts were made.
 The monthly report of automobile production showed decline Of about 5la per cent from october, although a little better showing had been expected, in view of the step ping up of production by one of the large priced car makers. Re ports that the other leading low ] price maker may close down entire ] lv for two weeks in December does not augur we'll for this months total output.

.HALIBUT SAVED
 FROM DUMPING BY HIGHER BID
Salmon Boat Celtic, Capt Henry Moy, Is Now
 Overdue

"I'd rather throw the fish into the bay than sell for such. prices, indignantly declared A. E. Einno captain of the schooner Polaris when 6 cents and 370 cents a pound were the best figures offered at the Juneau auction this morning for the 17000 pounds of halibut he had brought to port.
 1 "Old Stuff" was the unanimous comment of Wallis s. George, presi- dent and manager of the Juneau Cold Storage Company; Ed Vent worth, of the New England Fish | Company, and Einar Olson, of the Marlyn Fish Company. MT Went worth added: I've heard that ever since Gas tineau dug the channel, but I've never seen any fish floating on it's surface just because their price was low" sa
 He might do it. reflected MT Olson. There always has to be a l first time for everything. I'll raise the ante-bid rather-to and A.,
 Take em,' quickly announced Captain Einno. He had gone to con- siderable trouble in getting he fish out of the water and he was mani festly relieved over escaping from the task of putting them back in again.
 1 Seven and four are new low quotations for halibut this season on the Juneau market.
 I One boat of salmon, the Celtic Capt. Henry Moy, is still expected here. The fish were caught before the close of the trolling season Monday. Engine trouble is thought to be the cause of delay to the craft She was due here yesterday afternoon.
 The steamship Queen, on leaving here this morning, took two tierces Iof mild cured salmon for A. Bun- zen, Seattle, and four tierces of milo cured salmon for the Atlantic ar1d Pacific Packing Company, Seattle

Briaud's Union Idea Must Ans,Uer Query
 Where Is Europe
Continued from Page One,

Europe and that island nations should not be included. These cir cles argue that the British Empire constitutes after all a federated un- ion all by itself.
 Once this geographical puzzle is adjusted, there will remain several other difficulties that might be ear marked potential pitfalls.
 Potential Pitfalls
 The first of these is the conten- tion of some nations like Germany and Italy that the projected union should lead to a revision of treaties The danger of this demand is that Europe. instead of finding itsel; united by stronger links would fine itself split into two camps.
 Tn the first would be those na. tions which conquered in the grea war and preach the doctrine O keeping things as they are; in tht second, those conquered nations wht would press for revision of thl treaty of Versailles
 These same anti-Versailles pow CTS, moreover, want disarmament

MYSTERY FEATURE IS AT DOUGLAS TONIGHT

Mysterious destruction and sud- deh death have been associated with dragons in the Orient since time immemorial and research into ancient Chinese lore uncovered many amazing facts for use in the new Paramount all-talking mystery melodrama, "The Mysterious Dr. Flu Manchu," which will show at the Douglas Coliseum tonight.
 The dragon in mythical history and early oriental legends is re- garded as a symbol of evil and de- structive forces and the earliest conception is embodied in the Yahylonian myth of Tlamat, the great she-dragon. Tiamat played havoc with humanity until she was slain by the demiurge, Merodach From the Orient, the legendary conception of the dragon spread westward. As the highest feat of courage, mythical heroes set out tc slay some mythical dragon.
