The New York Stock Exchange had one of its slowest days in months with stocks quiet. An, as the consumer paid a little more for the necessities of life, OPA Administrator Paul Porter asked congress to revise the OPA extender bill further to con form with President Truman's recommendations.

The firm said it was not nominating itself to any set price until a new OPA bill "is either passed or not passed." Several other companies are doing likewise, a spokesman said.
