Guaranty Trust Leads Off

Likely to Follow.
STOCK BROKERS WILL
"PASS THE SEASON"
More than Thirty Firms Are
Expected to Dissolve Be.

The declaration yesterday of a Christ

each employees salary by the Guaranty
Trrst Company was the first tangible
evidence Wall Street has had of the APP

= is generally conceded. will not be so
liberal owing 10 a period of practically
nnnrecedented dulness in the commission
business.
A large number Of brokerage houses
have already gone out of business. and,
according TO an estimate made yesterday
by a Wall Street authority, the dissolution
NJ between thirty and forty other firms
will be announced at the end of the year.
This certainly does not lead the clerks of
those firms who are fortunate enough TO
continue 20 expect more than Merry
Christmas from the firms.
Among the banks, however. the situa-
lion has not been so deplorable, and the
usual bonuses will doubtless be repeated.
Last year the Bankers Trust Company
and the Chase National Bank declared a
bonus equal 10 that Of the Guaranty Trust
Company, but the most liberal giver of
them all is usually the Central Trust
Company. which last year distributed n
bonus of 80 per cent to its clerks and de-
partment managers.
There are several banks who do not
favor the custom of making special dis
tributions. They deny that they are
"spugs." but assert that their Christmas
greeting to their clerks is in the way of
raise in salary to the deserving ones. The
more important banks following this Gus
tom are the National City Bank and the
First National Bank
Last year the National City Bank sur
prised its employees by announcing PEN

WHEAT LOSES AN
EARLY ADVANCE
Prices of Corn and Oats

but Gains Slightly.

An extremely bullish estimate OF the
exportable surplus Of Argentine wheat
was responsible for an early advance in
the local market. which carried prices to
new high records for the movement, but
correction. which was made later, caused
sharp decline, which left December &c
up al the close, with other options off nc

outside interest, and the Argentine news
was the dominant feature of the market.
