gardIng II. but tho statistics now
indicate that 1870 OF the cars
registered at present will be replaced
in 1924. This will require about
l.950.00e new cars. An Increase In
registration OF nbout 1000 or 1.4iO,-
900 may DO expected. Production
for 1924 thcn will be split into about
57sc for requirements and 43Se for
increased registration. II is inter.
esting 10 motto that previously new
car sales have always exceeded
requirements.
"Since economy demands large
scale production. II is probable that
leaders In the motor industry will
tend 10 lower prices In order TO
get volume. Lower comm d ty
prices would favor such u policy
and Increased markets can only be
found by tapping successfully lower
price levels. Tho popular trend is
also toward economy of operation
and lighter construction.

the cars. This tendency to central

profits in 1923 were substantially
higher than In any previous year"
continued Mr.. Babson, ''and the In
weston is interested in the probable
trend of motor stocks. A decline in
volume and increase in competition
would indicate a smaller margin Of
profit for 1924.
Comparative conditions therefore

dc not indicate nppreciably higher
levels for securities dependent on
these earnings Examining the
fundamental business situation we
find no evidence that would prom.
Use a broad bull rise from present
levels that might carry the motor
stocks with II. These two groups
of factors seem to agree that motor
stocks. as n group. are not an at.
tractive purchase at ruling prices.
''There is a tremendous and es.
tahlished demand for motor trans
portation." concluded MIR. Babson,

when automobile production Is

says Mr.. Babson. I'VE find that the
number OF new cars made fluctu.
ates radically according 70 general
business conditions. In 1909, with
general business above normal, pro.
duction increased 1000 over 1908.
In 1918 production was only 500
