while that which depends upon con.
atruc,ion and expansion undertakings

Motor companies. according 20
economic evidences. are In danger OF

bounded prosperity might be inferred

advance ia prices. and the second.
hand car market II flat again.
In this industry. too. sales on the
part OF producers are made not 10
the public. but 10 the dealers. with
the result that these Gales are not "a
reliable indication Of the public de.
mand. Automobile production for
the first four months OF this year
showed n gain OF iOt per cent over
last year. as compared with increases
OF only &c per cent In gasoline pro-
duction. and about 10 or 20 per cent
ia per capita incomes or earnings.
Naturally then. the motor stocks are
beginning 10 act little top.heavy.
Gas company bonds and stocks
find themselves In fortunate posi-.
ton. Prices have entirely recovered
since 1917: the popularity OF gas for
heating has more than offset the
loss OF tho Illuminating business; per
capita consumption has doubled in
recent years; costs OF production are
falling with soft coal prices; and
earning power appears both large
and permanent"
