Hutton Co. "The overall impression is of a sold out market." the firm says, which would not need much of an excuse to go up." The blue chips have been dramatically outperforming the rest of the market, it adds, so that quality issues could be among the leaders in the next major advance. "This market is getting ready to end its basing phase and begin a new bull movement of major proportions." says the a West Hartford. Conn, letter. Most investors are not geared to the thought of a massive new bull market, it continues, because in recent years the market has been punctuated by short upswings.

"Activity of the past few years has finally served to place the majority of stocks in sold-out long term buying ranges which invariably leads to an upside reversal," it adds. "The mixed trend of many economic indicators will continue for some months, but no major recession is in the offing." says International Statistical Bureau, Inc. It predicts the prime rate and discount rate will peak in the next several weeks. "Even after considering all the plusses and minuses, we still conclude that we will finish the year with less inflationary pressure than with what we started." the firm adds. Buell, Union Negotiating Buell-Envirotech, which got the go-ahead last night on a $3- to 4-million expansion program, may be having labor troubles.

The firm has 570 workers. The shop employes among that group are working under a contract that expires tonight at midnight. Robert L. Fisher, a representative of the union, said "we're negotiating. We haven't come to a conclusion yet." He also said "anything can happen." Nonetheless.

Ups Price Of Cars DETROIT (UPI) Claiming that unprecedented cost increases overshadow its commitment to hold the line any longer, the Ford Motor Co. has boosted price tags on its cars and trucks an average of $163, or 3.5 per cent. Ford's action Wednesday, the second by a Detroit automaker in the past week, was criticized by John T.

Dunlop, director of the Cost of Living Council, as "unwarranted." Ford blamed rising costs, including steel which has increased by $40 per vehicle since last November. Ford officials would not rule out the possibility of yet another price increase before the end of the summer. The No. 2 automaker last week reported profits in the first three months of the year were off nearly 67 per cent, not as bad as Chrysler or General Motors but still the worst first quarter for Ford in seven years. Ford's action, on the eve of its annual shareholders' meeting today, followed by one week an average $99 hike by Chrysler Corp.

and is expected to be followed soon by General Motors Corp. American Motors recently increased prices by $75. With the exception of Chrysler, the automakers in December said they would not raise prices until the 1975-model year "unless forced to'by un- forseen major economic events." FUNERALS Mrs. H.

"Bebe" Rebozo's right to sue the Washington Post for libel in Miami. Attorneys for the Post had challenged the federal court's jurisdiction in the case of President Nixon's closest friend seeking $10 million for a story printed in the paper last November.

U.S. District Judge Joe Eaton refused to dismiss the libel suit and wrote in an eight- page opinion that the activities of Post reporters in Florida, dissemination to Washington Post newswire subscribers in the state, and a 1973 Florida law, all were grounds enough for a Miami suit in the case. Ea ton, however, left the door open for an appeal to a higher court, saying he realized that the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans historically had determined "controlling questions of law" in similar cases. Attorneys Paul Connolly and Dwight Sullivan of the Post indicated an appeal would be forthcoming, but no such appeal had been filed by Wednesday evening.

Special Music Every Night Everyone Invited US Consumer Hit With Price Hikes By United Press lateraatioaal the American consumer faced another round of price increases today, eight days after the last of the federal price restraints were lifted. Hikes were announced Wednesday in the prices of cars, copper, kerosene and diese) oil, and recreational vehicles. But amid the new increases, the Agriculture Department predicted retail food prices would rise only slighly during the rest of theyear.

Agriculture experts in Washington confirmed an earlier prediction that retail grocery prices would be 12 per cent higher in 1974 than they were in 1973, but they said much of the 1974 increases have already occurred. In Detroit, the Ford Motor Co. raised prices of its cars and trucks an average $163, saying higher costs overshadowed its commitment to hold the line on prices until the 1975 models are introduced. John T. Dunlop.

director of the Cost of Living Council, called the 3.5 per cent increase "unwarranted" in light of an agreement made in December in exchange for the lifting of price controls. Chrysler Corp. last week increased its prices an average $99. In other hikes, Sun Oil Co. lifted kerosene and diesel oil prices by 2 cents a gallon for all its customers.

Exxon raised its prices by 3.2 cents a gallon earlier this week. Recreational vehicles also will cost more. Winnebago Industries raised wholesale base prices 7 per cent on most of motor homes and all travel coaches, fifth- wheel travel trailers, buses and commercial vehicles. Copper Range Co. said its domestic refined copper will no longer be sold for 80 cents a pound, the price level announced last week by other major copper producers.

The producer said its new prices would be based instead on New York Commodities Exchange quotations for the metal. Copper Range said its prices for copper will vary constantly, "but it is believed that selling at free market prices offers long-term advantages to the company and its customers." Rising steel prices, which eventually affect consumer products from toasters to automobiles, spread outside the United States to Canada. Steel Co. of Canada the largest steelmaker in the nation, boosted prices on its bar and plate products by an average of 11 per cent. The increases, effective on various dates throughout this month, apply to approximately one third of the company's production.

Industry observers said they expected the company to step up its prices but not until July.
