SEES AUTO PRICES

Motor Body Says Cost Of Pro-
duction Is Greater Than
Before War;.

Price readjustment in the automobile
industry seems to have been about COM
pleted. judging from the final report
Just issued by the National Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce, which shows
changed prices on the various makes Of
cars. The new prices in many instances
go back to the figures of few years
ago. Notwithstanding that the models.
in many cases. are bigger. with better
finish and such additional equipment as
cord tires and improved electrical ap-
paratus.
In the opinion Of students of the in
dustry. the midyear change has now
stabilized the industry to degree that
is bringing increased sales to all COM
panies.
Carload shipments from the factories
during April and May were 81 per cent
of the production for the same two
months of last year. and there is reason
to believe June will be at approx
mately the same rate.
Compared with the feverish rush of
motor cars last spring. two-thirds
demand looks to be a big falling off.
but compared with normal years, it
