WALL STREET GIFTS BEGIN
Clerks Expect Santa Claus To Be
Heavily Laden This Year.

This Is the time OF year when the en-
ployes Of the banks and brokerage houses
in Wall Street begin to figure on how largo
bonus they are likely TO receive for
Christmas. The larger the business done
the larger their expectations. and as busi-
ness has been fairly good during the last
year hopes are high that Santa Claus is 60
ing to be generous this year.
The employees OF the Astor Trust Com
pany are the first 10 learn what their
Christmas present will be this year. The
management announced yesterday that II
was going to give each of them bonus of
10 per cent on their years salary for Christ
mas, which is the same as they received
last year. This Is about the average dis
tribution that banks and trust companies
make when business has been good, al
though a few Of the larger institutions have
given much larger bonuses. The Central
Trust Company distributes $4,000 among Its
employees every Christmas. and last year
gave its president a similar amount, and II
has been the custom for some years for j.
p. Morgan e. Co to give their employees 100
ner cent of their annual salaries as a
Christmas present.
There will no doubt be the usual distri-
button TO the employees Of the various ex-
changes. Funds for this purpose are COL
lected from the members, committees being
appointed couple Of weeks before Christ
mas TO receive subscriptions. The New
York Stock Exchange generally raises about
81, 900 by this means for It's employees every
Christmas.
The United States Steel Corporation IS
expected to treat its employees with its usual
generosity In the matter OF a Christmas
distribution. It's bonus last year amounted
to $4,000, notwithstanding that it had
been a poor year in the steel trade. and 1t
Is thought that II will be about the same
this Christmas The bonus consists OF part
cash and part common stock, and the
amount is determined by the annual earn
ngs What the Standard Oil Company Will
do now that It has been shorn of It's sub
sidiary companies, remains to be seen. IT
has been its custom in the past TO give lts
employees Christmas present In the shape
of annual increases in salaries ranging from
81 TO 500 a month, depending upon the en-
Move.
