odd lot of four shares sold on the regu-
lar call at TN and sixteen shares were
traded in after call at rs. These prices
compared with TN on Saturday.

show signs of weakness. Though the
only sale recorded-a quotation lot
was made at TAI. the stock was offered
freely at TAN. and any part Of 100

 The Buick Motor company officials state that it was their sincere hope to continue the sale of cars at the former prices, and the announcement of increases was delayed as long as possible, trust ing there would be some relief in the materials situation This years Bucks have been built largely from materials contracted for a year ago, and in some instances previous to that. This, in con- necuon with largely increased produc- tion. and the further fact that Buick ef- feiency engineers made possible vast saving in the factory through the exten- sion of efficiency methods and the install lation of much new and improved ma chinery, enabled the company to delay the higher price announcement great dealer longer than many of it's dealers and friends anticipated.
 L. T. Strong, general sales manager, announces that production has been keyed up to 8 point hitherto unattained, in an effort to take care of all unified orders before the new prices become effective. Also that the company expected some
