MARINE CORPS NEWS

A conference Of corps officials was
held at corps headquarters last week
for the purpose of familiarizing officials
with the import and future certainties
of the recommended personnel bill. The
bill in question Is in thorough accord
with the administrations policy Of re-
trenchment and does not involve any
additional expense on the treasury.

bring relief in so far as the existent
discrepancies pertain to length Of serv-
ice of corps commissioned personnel
when compared with the Commissioned
personnel OF the Navy, with similar age
in grade, length Of service, etc. In
many instances feet marine officers al
though senior in length of service are
serving afioat with commissioned per-
sonnet of the Navy Junior in age and
length of service, though senior in
grade, and the general tendency of the
bill win have rectified this situation.
The bill, It Is stated, has the depart
ment's fullest approval.

He enumerated the various items on
both sides of the account, and then
closed with the observation that "curi-
ously enough the total of the assets was
exactly the total Of the liabilities"
It is not assumed that any of the
readers of this article will be so simple
minded as that sporting editor, and
yet just to make the record complete
and to serve as an introduction to the
balance sheet portion of the series, it
may be said here that the reason that
the two sides of the ledger balance is
because that Is the function of the bal
ance sheet.
On the left-hand side in the form
used in this country the assets are set
down, and on the right-hand side the
liabilities are presented. The assets con-
sist of everything the corporation owns
or may be owing to ita and the liabilities
consist of everything the corporation
owes, including what it owes to the
owners-that is to say, the stockholders.
The difference between these two totals
is the surplus, and that surplus added to
the liabilities and set down under them
on the right-hand side makes the two
accounts come out even, and gives the
statement its name of a balance sheet.

Financial
Statements
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

No intelligent choice of securities can
be arrived at without some understand
ing OF the meaning of financial state
mentS. 1t is not necessary to be an ex-
pert accountant or to be conversant
with the way in which such statements
are compiled from the books of the cor
porationS, but it is essential that one
have the ability to obtain general idea
OF the progress and position of a cor
poration as it is set forth in its report
If one is to pass Judgment on that cor
poration's securities.
In the discussions of which is the
first, the attempt will be made to make
the treatment as simple as the subject
VIII allow. The success or lack of 1t
each individual reader may determine
for himself by applying the knowledge
gained to the analysis of specific cor
poratlon statements as they appear on
the financial pages of the newspaper.
There are two claSsificationS into
which all financial statements may be
divided, one generally termed the ball
ance sheet and the other the income
account. The latter Is the easier un-
derstood, and for that reason the one
to which the average layman pays the
greater attention. We shall begin, how
ever, with the balance sheet. There Is
an old story in newspaper Offices about
the day the financial editor was sick
and the sporting editor attempted to
substitute for him. There was cor
poration balance sheet to be commented
upon, and the authority on base ball
and prize fights did the best he could

Grain Market

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 30-Brisk up-
turns here in grain prices early today
followed sudden jump in wheat quo
tationS at Liverpool There was a
break of more than 10 points in British
exchange rates, but the rise of the
Liverpool wheat market was proper
tionately much more than an Offset.
Opening Aa112 cents higher, Chicago
wheat futures afterward held near the
initial range. Corn started X4a1 up and
subsequently showed but little reaction.
With British exchange tumbling to
lowest levels yet since England stepped
off from a gold basis, but with the
Liverpool wheat market mounting fast
er than the pound sterling fell, Chicago
wheat traders took their cue chiefly
from transatlantic behavior of wheat.
Advances in wheat values here we're &C
companied by fairly general purchases,
including a good-sized total credited to
Chicago Spectator who some time
ago attracted wide notice as a result of
successful bull operations in corn. Con-
tributing to the upward momentum in
wheat were further reports OF unfavor-
able weather in Argentina, together
with 2,496, 600 bushels decrease of the
amount of wheat on ocean passage COM
pared with a week ago.
Some trade observers said wheat had
been developing an oversold condition,
and that a natural upward reaction was
overdue. Offerings were relatively
scarce, and it was commended that bear
ish features had been fully discounted.
Drought in domestic Winter wheat ter
ritory Southwest was asserted to have
been relieved on the outskirts only
Corn and oats sympathized with wheat
strength.
Provisions sagged, responsive to
downturns in hog values.

that country. Wall Street became
acutely anxious lest European politics
interfere with the prompt service on
Germany's 100000 of dollar
bonds. However, Germany's recourse
to the machinery of the Young plan
for an international inquiry into her
whole debt structure promised con-
structive action on this score, and Ger
man issues were f1rmer near the
month end.
The upturn in commodities was
lions of countries whose favorable
trade balances are largely dependent
on commodity prices, including the Ar
gentine, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Chile,
Colombia and Uruguay in South
America and Canada in North America
To q lesser extent the dollar bonds OF
central and northern European coun-
tries responded to the same influence
Argentina, In addition to the advance
in wheat, had another reason for q
higher credit rating in the decline OF
the English pound sterling. Much OF
the Argentine debt is payable in
sterling. Australian bonds were higher
with wheat and wool.
Canadian issues responded to the
successful fotation of a $150,OO0, OOO
internal loan, stable portions OF
which were purchased by American
corporations holding bank balances in
Canada which, frozen by the 10 pei
cent discount on the Canadian dollar
were previously drawing and per
cent in demand and savings accounts
The new loan was placed on a 5.13 to
SIT per cent yield basis in Canadian
currency. Canada, however, has still
to solve the Canadian National Rail-
ways situation. The government road
is facing deficit this year estimated
at around $90,000,000
Over the entire picture, domestic and
foreign, the Manchurian situation
hung all month. Much Of the advance
in commodities was attributed to the
possibility of Sino-Japanese war
Much Of the subsequent decline was
ascribed to the failure Of war &c
