i, January disbursements are always
among the largest of the year. Inter-
est payments are due on number of
large issues of bonds: many corpora
tions pay their dividends: the banks
and trust companies, Capital Traction
Company. American Telephone and
Telegraph Company and many other
large institutions will distribute mill
lions of dollars, and Washington Will
have it's share of money for the begin
ming of the new year and the meeting
of holiday bills.
There will be more money placed in
circulation in this city with the advent
of 1917, probably, than ever before.
Christmas shopping has been very
heavy and large bills have accumu-
lated Many of the banks and trust
companies are giving their employees
bonuses and increases in salaries run
ming into thousands of dollars.
Total disbursements from invest
ments listed on the Washington Stock
Exchange will be s912,G25
To this must be added nearly as much
more from other bond holdings and
stock investments. for the people of
small and large means in this city have
been placing their money in outside Sc
curities to larger degree than ever
The money supply may be lessened by
the severe losses that local spectators
and some investors have sustained in
the New York stock market during the
past week. but there will be large in
crease in the per capita holdings.
The largest disbursement by any one
corporation will be paid by the Capital
Traction Company, $4,000; the Amer
lean Security and Trust Company will
check out 100000; Mergenthaler Limo
type Company, probably $4,000; Lam
ston Monotype, 100000. while the Poto-
mac Electric Light and Power Com
pany Will pay out Sl32.500 on account
of the semi-annual interest on the five
million three hundred-thousand dollar
consolidated bonds
In addition to these and other dis
burSementS, the savings depositors of
the city probably will receive S250,000
to their credit from earned interest for
the last six months
The following are the interest and
dividend payments that will be made
by corporations whose securities are
listed on the Washington Stock Elk
change:

A more potent factor in the rise OF

This assumption had its basis to great
extent on the action of the Russian

An Appreciation,

In the recent death of Admiral Asa
Walker, the service and Annapolis
have lost a valuable man.
During long life, he used well
those sturdy virtues inherited from
bis New England ancestors.
An active youth, succeeded by 3
period of service in the Navy carried
out, with unfailing gallantry and devo-
tion to duty; life retired. animated
by dignity thrift and industry.
Those who knew him at Manila Bay
as we'll as those who caught his
bright look as he tended his beloved
roses and trees here and above all,
those who knew him in his home, full
of kindliness. sympathy and good faith
all mourn his loss; and the more.
than this generation can i'll spare such
an example for their children; who
must face for their country soon such
awful responsibility and dangers.
Peace be with him, but may his in.
