Predicts Higher Prices.

With the increase in the price of materials more reports circulate that the next change in the price of automobiles will be upward. The advance in the price of high-speed steels is one of the factors, having gone up from 45 cents a pound to $3; it is also getting harder to obtain, according to manufacturers. The sales manager of one of the automobile companies predicts that the announcements of next July will show a number of increases in the price of standard makes of cars.
