The top offers for Ford Motor Co.'s factory bundles are down about $12 a long ton from a month earlier, industry sources said, although it's uncertain whether the automaker will have excess bundles to ship from its Chicago-area stamping plant in holiday-shortened December.

The reported decline puts the price of Ford's bundles at about $219 a ton, f.o.b. the stamping plant, closer to the price level that Chrysler Group's bundles sold for this month. Prices paid for those bundles were said to range from $210 to $215 a ton f.o.b. at plants in the Midwest and those in the Detroit and Cleveland areas (AMM, Nov. 3).....
