ACCOUNT EXPERTS
MARK ANNIVERSARY
Staub Discusses Balance
Sheets as D. e. Chapter
Ends First Year.

At the December meeting held in the
Mayf1ower Hotel on Thursday evening,
Washington Chapter, National Associa-
ton of Cost Accountants, celebrated
its first anniversary.
Nationally known accountants pres
ent were Col A. H. Carter of New York,
president of the national association;
Stuart c. Mcleod, New York, secre-
tary Of the national association; DR..
Charles Reitell of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, Washington,
national director; Durand w Springer,
secretary of the American Society of
Certified Public Accountants, Washing
ton; DR.. Howard E. Cooper of Johns
Hopkins University, Baltimore, preSi-
dent of Baltimore Chapter, and the
speaker, Walter A. Staub, of New York
Mr.. Staub, who is one of the rec
CgniZed authorities in the accounting
profession, discussed the Adjustment
of Balance Sheets to Present Business
Requirements" Regarding the item
cash, MIR. Staub, remarked that while
certain item on the balance sheet, pres
ent-day conditions make accountants
wonder whether it isn't the most un-
certain item and added that cash
balances in closed or restricted banks
are not strictly cash" and certainly
cannot be considered as current assets
The effect of present conditions, the
speaker said, is to make the possibility
or probability Of losses in "receivables"
greater than heretofore. Consequently
credits must be more carefully watched
than ever and past experience as to
ratio of bad-debt losses to amounts of
sales or outstanding receivables can
not be blindly relied upon in determin-
ing reserves for bad-debt losses or in
determining whether or not amounts of
reserves accumulated by setting up cur
rently a percentage of sales are ade-
quate to provide for the probable losses
in the receivables shown in the balance
sheet of a given date.
In discussing the item of inventories,
Mr.. Staub pointed out that in the course
of time the rule of cost or market,
whichever Is lower" for which the
public accounting profession consistent
ly contended in season and out, and at
q time when many businesses did not
agree with the rule, has become gen.
orally accepted by the banker. the
manufacturer, the merchant and the
taxing official.

Commodity Price
Changes of Week
BY III. n. McGILL,

Editor. McGill Commodity Service, Inc.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, December l6
[P).--Commodity prices turned down
quite sharply during the past week. The
decline was general, clearly indicated by
the fact that out of IA individual groups
seven declined, five remain unchanged,
and only two advanced. Although there
is no sign OF currency Stabilization and
the gold control plan is to be continued,
there has been less response on the part
of commodity prices to move upward.
Prices show that the present level Of
all commodities is 8 per cent lower
than the peak established In early Oc-
tober. The index of industrial activity
now stands 20 per cent over the low
point recorded earlier in the year as
compared with so per cent at the peak
of the initial rally which occurred dur
ing the second quarter. Weakness in
commodity prices has proven limited as
compared with the decline In physical
volume of production.
Farm Prices Decline.
Industrial prices during the last week
registered only fractional decline and
the index is holding close to the high
that was reached a week ago.
Agricultural prices lost considerable
ground. During the week quotations for
butter and eggs, as well as sugar, wool
and faxSeed we're lower than in the
previous week, offsetting increases in
the grains
Live stock prices continued the down
swing that has been in effect in recent
weeks Hog prices reached the lowest
point since last March and cattle prices
also averaged lower.
The five groups that registered no
price change during the week were
building materials, chemicals, ferrous
metals, fine textiles, and paper and
pulp.
Fuel prices were moderately lower.
due to a reaction in the average spot
price of coal fob. mines.
Paint materials represent one Of the
two groups which advanced. The in
crease was due entirely to sharp maj X
up in the price of shellac, while lower
quotations for rosin and turpentine
tempered the increase.
Coarse Textiles Up.
Coarse textiles represent the second
group that averaged higher as the
price of burlap increased.
Vegetable oils declined, price weak
ness being noted in cocoanut, china
wood and soya bean oils.
Most important price changes in the
McGin weekly index (1926 equaling
1000, were as follows:

COPPER IS FIRMER
IN LATE TRADING
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, December 16.-Copper
was firmer late in the week as a re-
suit Of somewhat improved demand
from domestic consumers, who paid 814
cents fob electrolytic for second quar-
ter, 1884, delivery They had previous
ly purchased fair quantity in nearby
positions at the 8-cent basis
The buying interest was attributed to
reports Of progress in preparation of
the copper code as well as an improved
demand for finished products, following
downward revision of fabricators'
prices Steady purchases from abroad
at slightly steadier prices aided the tone.
Lead smelters experienced fair day
to day, with demand from diversified
sources in the consuming trades at un-
changed prices A firmer tone was re-
ported in the ore market.
Irregularity continued to character
ize tin price fluctuations as American
equivalents were affected by changes at
London and in sterling quotations.
Although buying OF zinc remained
limited and ore prices were easier on
resumption Of mine operations follow
ing recent curtailment, smelters held
quotations unchanged. Anthony was
dull at nominally unchanged prices.

CHICAGO, December 16.-Activity

bulk Of sales ranged from $500 to $685.
Only 1000 head were held over for

fected by reports that live stock ham
dlers in the yards plan to call another
strike soon, probably Sunday night
Reports are current that the men have
rejected wage and hour terms offered
by employers and will strike again soon
One strike was settled by arbitration
tust before the International Live Stock

New York Cotton
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 16.-Cotton
worked lower under some Southern SELL
ing and scattering liquidation in COM
paratively quiet and narrow market to-
day. Offerings were not heavy at any
time during the morning, but demand
was restricted to scale-down buying,
apparently, and March eased of to
1909 in the late trading, closing at that
f1gure. The general market closeo
barely steady at net declines of to IL
points.
The opening was barely steady at a
decline Of 2 to 4 points under some
overnight selling orders from the South
and scattering liquidation. A little
buying was reported on the relatively
steady showing Of Liverpool and there
was a moderate trade demand, but this
was quite readily supplied around the
initial prices and the market sagged
OF later in the morning. January
Liquidation was absorbed by the trade
partly against sales in the later de-
1iveries, but there was some liquidation
Of old long accounts, and buying was
checked by the action Of the wheat
and stock markets The lowest levels OF
the day we're reached in the late trad
ing, with January selling at $50 and
May at 1922 and last prices were at
these levels.
Moderate fluctuations in sterling ex-
change rates seemed to attract COM
paratively little attention and the fail
ure Of favorable overnight reports from
the cotton goods markets to stimulate
buying was considered a disappoint-
ment to holders of contracts This
may have accounted for some resell
ing. while there appeared to be little
more hedging here late in the morning.
Early advices from the South claim
that the cotton was becoming rather
harder to buy in some sections, at
least and that the basis continued firm.
The amount of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end of the
week was estimated at $4,000 bales
against $4,000 last year and 10000
two years ago.

Meanwhile, 1t was insisted there was no change in the American policy of non-intervention so far as the sending of armed forces were concerned. The feeling here was that MT Roosevelt instead was pre- pared to use, if necessary economic weapons. Observers leaned to the opinion that an order to accom- plish his purpose he might offer aid in stabilizing the Cuban economic situation provided political strife was brought to quick end. That economic problems cohsti- tuted major portion of the dis cussion between MT Roosevelt and Eenor Cintas was shown in the statement from the summer White House. It read:
 "The president and Ambassador Cintas discussed the Cuban situa- tion especially in it's economic as- poets.
 "They feel that the problems of starvation and of depression are of such immediate importance that every political problem should be met in, the most patriotic spirit in order to improve conditions at the earliest possible moment.
