By FREDERICK GARDNER,


NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Stocks gen.
orally dozed at slightly lower levels
IN today's brief session, although
the majority ended with substantial
net advances for the week.
Further profit taking on the re-
cent upsWing, combined with little
more year-end tax selling, provided
sufficient barriers to stem mild ad-
vancing tendencies displayed in the
early part of the proceedings.
While closing prices, on the whole,
were of small fractions either way,
there were a few weak as we'll as
strong spots in evidence. There was
hardly any change in the favorable
business outlook and apprehension
over foreign affairs appeared to have
Waned considerably, but the buy
ing urge was notably Indifferent
throughout.
Average of Slightly.
The Associated Press average of
90 stocks was off q of a point at
5l.4. On the week this composite
was up l.2 points, the recovery COM
ing after four consecutive weekly
declines. Transfers for the two hours
totaled 452,870 shares, against 405,-
$40 last Saturday.
Wall Street seemed greatly en-
couraged by the fact volume ex-
panded on the rising trends of the
nrst four days and dWindled per-
ceptibly during the mild reactions
OF yesterday and today. The weeks
turnover amounted to around 7,00O,-
0OO shares, compared with some
4,00O,0 900 the week before.
A bit unsettling to sentiment was
another drop in Loew's which Joined
IS points, at Sis, to its nearly s.
point relapse of Friday. The pre-
ferred stock lost 4 at 80, a new
years low, and the concerns 3l5
per cent bonds were off 5. Fears
aroused by the second stockholders
suit against the management of the
fllm company, filed Thursday, were
said to have been the principal de-
pressing factor in the decline.
Motor Leaders Down.
Among the days losers were Gen.
eral Motors, Chrysler, Montgomery

American Smelling, Dow Chemical.
Santa Fe, Great Northern, Johns

Freight Cut Is Advised
On Sugar Shipments
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission received from Examiner
Frank M. Weaver yesterday a rec
ommendation for a reduction of
about 20 per cent in the all-rail
rates on sugar shipments between
the North and the South.
The present rates on shipments
between the North and the South
are approximately 26.7 per cent of
the Southern flrst-class rate (high-
est OF all freight rates., while rates
within either territory amount to
about % per cent of the Southern
flrst-claSs rate.
Mr.. Weaver proposed that the in
ter-territory rate be reduced to %
per cent of the Southern first-class
rate, or the same as the rate within
either territory.
Southern ref1ners, joined by some
Southern railroads, had asked the
I. c. c. for lower inter-territory
rate.
Tariff experts said practically no
sugar now was being moved by
rail between the North and the
South. most of it going by all-water,
by truck, by truck-water or by rail-
water.
The Southern territory roughly is
south of the Ohio and Potomac Riv-
ers and east of the Mississippi, while
the Northern territory is north of
the Ohio and Potomac and east of
the Mississippi.
