But here tofore they have not been treated serfously by American manufacturers. At least two companies will have cars of this general type to offer. Lower Price Levels Seen. The price of these models has not vet heen determined, but sales execu tives generally concede that they wiil probably be within a range of § to $750." Tt is the impression, however that as soon as volume production of the new type can be developed, this price level will be lowered Another “light” car is being de- | veloped by the Palige-Detroft Co. in- | tended, it is said, to fi way between the “bug s and the | so-called $1,000 line.

The Seaboard Air Line is accepting general freight without reservation for all Florida points, except Tampa and West Palm Beach, where it will take frelght only on permits. Food hd drus products are practically the only consignments being taken into these towns over this line. DISTRIBUTION SEEN IN STOCK MARKET Observers Declare Many Issues Are Being Passed to Public After Long Rise. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 21.—Many stock market observers expressed the opinion that the “bull maxiet,” now in its second year, has hed the period of distribution when stocks passed from the hands of strong finan- interests to the outside public, but few of them have attempted to predict when the upward movement will end, or how much further it will go. Several powerful pools are known to be at work, and their operations have been alded by easy money rates and the absence of any adverse trade news. Bear traders, trying to feel for the top of the market, have launched sev- eral attacks in the last few weeks, but each time the market has recov- ered the lost ground and moved higher. 'C. & 0.
