PRICE CUTS ARE CHIEF TOPIC AT N. Y. AUTO SHOW Large Reductions Among Fours Result in Confusion. / ‘Bu Times Special NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—With the New York Automobile show in full swing, the usual interest in motor and chassis Improvements has be6n relegated to second place by unccrtainity over immediate price trends. Liarge reductions have been made ’ recently, principally among four : cylinder cars, which have resulted in confusion over the industry’s price ; policy. Dodge Brothers took the leadership with reduction of S6O to SIBO on various models. Chrysler cut its fours SSO to-sllO and Chevrolet from sls to 350. The two, other largest producers In the four 'cylinder field are Ford and Willys-Overland. Ever since Ford electrified the industry during the post-war depression with large price cuts, when other companies were considering increases, his price policy has been of paramount interest. Speculation over that policy in view of his apparent reluctance to follow price cuts of other companies is the main topic of discussion. Another fac- ' tor Is the Increasing competition in the four-cylinder field, due to the greater production of cheap sixes. Meanwhile, Stutz and Marmon, Indianapolis cars, are the talk of the show. Both companies report exceptional business. CAN PRESENT VIEWS Indiana Will Have Say on Long and Short Haul Bill.
