NEW YORK, September §.—Al- though there have been many price increases put into effect by automo- bile manufacturers in the last 60 days, there are a number of com- panies still planning advances in quo- tations. The makers have reversed the old saying, “the h'gher the few- er” and now are velling. “the fewer the highe: boost the price. The trend, they say, is unmistakably upward, with the limit as yet un- fixed. Leading officials of ‘the important companies e n that when sales and production e in heavy volume, decline in direct ratio to pro- on increascs. The reverse of this condition now is true. established last summer, and many of which still are in effect, were ba: on a sales volume which has not terialized. Dealers have been stocked up to the limit of safety, and some financiers, beyond it. The in- dustry, therefor igned to a smaller output during the remainder | of the year. As costs are at or close to rock bottom, according to the man- vfacturers, the only way they continue to make and sell cars with out going into the hands of receivers is to advance the prices of their prod- ucts.

HUGHES. Sixty-Seventh Article. “I WANT TO MAKE SOME REAL MONEY.” In times of stock market excite- ment, when prices are rising rapidly, the difficulties of the investment ad- viser are multiplied. It looks so easy to make money in speculation that the impulse to rush in is almost irre- sistible. One reads in_the newspa- pers stories of the profits of this or that notorious plunger who has ac- cumulated a great fortune without any apparent effort. It is not always in stocks that these quick “fortunes” are made. Sometimes it is wheat, scmetimes it is cotton and sometimes it is something else. Anyway, it l00ks very simple. Quick Returus Desired. Then when one looks at the stock table on the financial page and com- pares the quotation for some highly speculative common stock with the 1ow figures of the year and makes a rapid mental calculation as' to how much movey he or she could have made if they had bought at the low and scld at the present price the temptation to act becomes over- whelmnig.
