CYCL..NE.

The ioct that the prices OF this years's
wheels will be small in comparison to
those of other years argues well the
point that persons who never thought of
riding the two wheeler will take to the
sport this season and thereby increase
the sales. Makers argue that the cut in
prices will not interfere with the present
prosperous condition OF the cycling in
dustry if enough wheels, as they expect,
will be sold to countcrbacnce the reduc-
ton. In their opinion there is a grerter
profit in quantity OF wheels being sold
at reduced rates than there is in a
smaller number at higher prices.
The drawing Of lots in France by those
