Yes
hence the even-more-than-other-varieties cut rate.

Subject: GR translation: the peculiar and slow-moving Emulsion J,
V387.27-37 (P393.36-394.6) Thats how Gerhardt von Göll is, anyway.
Graciela knows the man: there are lines of liaison, sinister connections of
blood and of wintering at Punta del Este, through Anilinas Alemanas, the IG
branch in Buenos Aires, on through Spottbilligfilm AG in Berlin (another IG
outlet) from whom von Göll used to get cut rates on most of his film stock,
especially on the peculiar and slow-moving Emulsion J, invented by Laszlo
Jamf, which somehow was able, even under ordinary daylight, to render the
human skin transparent to a depth of half a millimeter, revealing the face
just beneath the surface. This emulsion was used extensively in von Gölls
immortal Alpdrücken, and may even come to figure in Martín Fierro.
Does "slow-moving" here mean "not selling well"?
