Money and Prices

The wholesale price level rose again
last week, further depressing the pur-
chasing power of the dollar which is
now only l.8 per cent higher than the
1926 average.
Prices thus continued an advance
which has been going ahead moderately
but quite steadily for about eight
months. The strength Of prices appears
to have more than seasonal significance
inasmuch as the increase began last
Midsummer and has continued with
considerable consistency through the
Fail and Winter. A year ago commodity
prices were showing more weakness
than strength.
Fluctuations in the general wholesale
price level and in the purchasing power
Of the dollar are given below for various
periods. The average for the year 1926

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS

Annual Reports.

Annual Reports.
At this season of the year stoCkhold-
ers OF record are receiving the annual
reports OF corporations In which they
have an interest. Probably majority
throw these reports away without read
ing them. In recognition OF this lack
Of interest many companies content
themselves with sending out an abbre-
Waited financial statement and mailing
the full report only to those stockhild-
ers who request It,
And yet there are many interesting
facts to be learned from these reports.
The trouble with most OF them Is that
they are cOuched In such technical Ian
guage that only the expert can under
stand them. A few organizations have
made a start toward putting their state
ments into form readily grasped by
the layman.
Prominent in this group are the util-
tiles, and at the head of them all Is the
American Telephone g. Telegraph Co.
Its report for 1927 Is a model in this
respect. There Is no excuse for the
holders of American Telephone 81 Tele-
graph stock not being acquainted with
the present condition and future pros
poets of their property.
Now what are the things to be looked
for In these reports? First and most
important is the income statement, that
Is the tabulated figures showing the
earnings for the year. the expenses of
operation, the interest charges, the
amount paid out in dividends and the
surplus left over. Study of this state
ment, reveals the margin of safety for
the dividend.
1t would be an improvement II cor
poretions made a practice Of putting
these income statements I'm comparative
form; that Is, setting down side by side
the earnings of the past year and the
year Immediately preceding In any
case that is what the stockoWner ought
to do for himself either by referring tC
the report of the previous year. or TO
one OF the various financial manuals
which are to be consulted in any bank
er's or brokers office. However that
may be. the report usually makes this
comparison in general terms somewhere
In the text.
In the articles to follow I shall outline
the method OF reading these reports
that will work most profitably to the
stockholder.

The stock market made another all

Again General Motors led the motors
upward for the largest price advance
to be made by the common industrial
groups, the index rising more than
eight points. mainly due to General
Motors attainment OF new high rec

The index for each group Of COM

advance. The steels and oils groups
showed slightest appreciation.

 It is the ambition of virtually every father and mother that the son or daughter should have the advantages of college education. Under the existing educational machinery, this has been reserved almost exclusively for an intellec- tual or social aristocracy Under the proposed reorganization, the liberal arts college itself would open it's doors in every communi- ty now able to maintain a junior college.
