His summary state- ment {sued to: | day suggests 3,500,000 cars as prob: BABSON able production, with prices tending lower and profits pot quite as good as 1923, * “When automobile production charted against’ general business,” says Mr, Babson, “we find that the number of new cars made fluctu- ates radically according to general business conditions. In 1909, with general business above normal, pro- duction increased 100% over i908.

Tho year 1922 showed an Increase of 64% over 1921 and 1928 figures 56% larger than 1922. BUSINESS TO BE NORMAL THIS YEAR “Such radical increases are ex: tremely difficult to maintain and newiwe face 1924 with the prospect of normal business—the Babsonchart shows present activity at 1% below normal, Jt is therefore probable that production will recede from the 1923 high mark of slightly over 4,000,000 to about 3,600,000 new cars in 1924, “Another interesting development 1s evident in the Increasing propor- tion of replacements. The satura. tion point in the motor industry has been discussed at length by those holding various opinions re- : aD CHANCE E HIS 2° garding it, but the statistics now indicate that 13%% of the cars roglstered at present will be replaced in 1924. This will require about} 1,950,000 new cars. An Increase in registration of about 10% or 1,440,- 000 may be expected, Production for 1924 then will be split Into about} 57% for replacements and 43% for| increased registration, It is inter-| esting to noto that previously new| car sales have always © replacements. “Since economy demands large | seule production, it is probable that | leaders In the motor industry wiil| tend, to lower prices in order to! |get volume, Lower commodity | prices would. favor such a policy and increased markets can only be |found by tapping successively lower price levels. The popular trend is also toward economy of operation and lighter construction, AUTO PROFITS WILL BE LOWER | "In the manufacturing field woe also find that the 10 leading or- | ganizations produce 90 per cent of the cars, ‘This tendency to central- ize production at the expense of the |smaller makers will probably con-| | tinue, ! “Profits in 1923 were substantially higher than in any previous year,” continued Mr, Babson, “and the in- vestor 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 | Building Permits Adolph Peterson, 4126 Bak Fealdence and garage, 2 Pioneer Sand & Gravel C frame warehouse, 60x120, $8,000, N?J, Blanchard Boat Co. 2002 BE. frame addition, 26x99, $1,600.

Exataining the fundamental business situation we find no evidence that would prom: dse a broad bull rise from present levels that might carry the motor stocks with {t. These two groups of factors seem to agree that motor stocks, as group, are not an at- tractive purchase at ruling’ prices. “There is a tremendous and es- tablished demand for metor trans- portation,” concluded “Mr. “that will eventually he met along practica! and economical rather than luxury lines.
