NEW YORK, Jan. "A vigor-
ously upward trend was established
in the first two hours trading on
the stock exchange today. The
sudden activity and strength in
Saturdays session following several
days of indecisive price movements
served as a reminder to the bear
party that constructive interests
had been built up since the turn
of the year based on the assump-
ton that the first quarter of 1924
will witness nothing startling in
the way of an active and profitable
trade recovery. No doubt q good
part of the rise was at the expense
of the bears who were frightened
into covering by the sight of the
advance, but increased buying was
reported by commission houses for
both speculative and investment
account.
The demand for stocks was brisk
from the start, practically oil
groups participating in the forward
swing. Low priced rails, in par
ticular, enjoyed real strength.

tory. Dividend paying rails, too,
were steadily accumulated, buying
being based on the belief that earn.
ings for 1924 will make a still bet

Growing indications Of recupera-
tive tendencies in various lines of
endeavors, notably steel. rubber,
leather, oil and chemical, caused
heavy buying of shares Of com.
panies representing these indus
tries. Steel common made a new
high on the move at 1909. Ameri.

up another point. Among the high.

sharply. An excellent demand

BONDS DISPLAY
TENDENCY
To RISE
BY MUNROE ROBERTS.
Copyright, 1924. by Cosmopolitan
News Service

NEW YORK. Jan. IA slowly
rising tendency was revealed in
parts of the bond market during the
past week. The gradual broadening
of the list was encouraging, and in
vestors showed interest in issues
not ordinarily active. Although re-
investments of year-end interest and
dividend disbursements were not
large, traders continued to make
purchases in anticipation of a SUD-
stantial buying movement.
According to investment bankers
the bond market is in healthy con-
dition. With dealers shelves cleared
of new issues and prospects of con-
tinued ease in money rates, due to
the absence of any indication of a
coming business boom, the stage is
set for good investment market
during 1924.
A steady and discriminating de-
mand from investors is expected.
While the firmer undertone was
noticeable, especially among the
high grade railroad, industrial and
public utility securities, strength
and activity was shown by number
of semi-speculative obligations made
attractive by the brighter outlook i'll
the Industrial field.
These included copper, oil, ship.
ping, rubber and chemical securi-
ties. Issues possessing conversion
privileges were especially sought
A noteworthy feature in the in
dustrial list was the rapid advance
in the 20-year. per cent gold
bonds of the American Cotton Oil
Company. which is now subsidiary
of the Gold Dust Corporation. The
30-point appreciation from the last
years low record was a reflection
of the improvement in the COM
pany's position.
Low priced railroad bonds pur-
sued a firm course, the st. Paul
and Seaboard Air Line description
in particular responding to good
buying power. Traction bonds con-
tinued in excellent demand.

JAIL FUGITIVE RETURNS
FOR LOVE OF FAMILY

WILMINGTON, Jan. Love
and remorse are given as the rea-
sons for the return of Samuel
Plopp, a former merchant of this
city, who surrendered to court and
was sentenced to three months
Imprisonment in the New Castle
county workhouse.
In November, 1921, Plopp was
indicted on a charge of receiving
stolen goods. He was released un-
der bail and failed to appear in
court in March when his case was
called. Since that time he has
been living in New York, where
he was employed as a waiter.
During his absence his wife
conducted Il small store and sup
ported herself and two sons.
His love for his wife and family
induced him to return, he. said.

Great Britain Keeps Up Pay
ments on Principal and In
terest of Debt.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA review
Of the foreign exchange market for
the year just ended scarcely makes
cheerful reading Problems Of cur.
rency depreciation, unbalanced bud
gets and price initiation are still
present in acute form.
Great Britain has continued pay
ments on principal and interest on
her debt to the United States, but
tie war obligations of continental
European countries still lie in the
Treasury at Washington in the
form of demand notes" on which
no payments of interest are made.
In general the tendency Of foreign
currencies has been downward.
Even the most optimistic Of inter-
national bankers hesitate to predict
Improvement in the immediate fu-
ture.
Mark Disappears.
The outstanding feature of the
year has been, of course, the dis.
appearance of the German mark,
formerly ranking second in i'm.
portance only to sterling as a
medium of international exchange.
On November 2, when the fantastic
quotation of 1,000,000,0 100000 marks
to the dollar was recorded, even
the few banking institutions which
up to that time had been dealing in
German currency refused to exc
cute further orders in it,
The French franc also has under
gone extreme depression during the
year. Starting around 7.44 cents,
the occupation of the Ruhr brought
a sharp decline in Paris bills. A
subsequent recovery carried francs
up to CTS. but another down swing
resulted in a break to 5.44 cents in
August.
Further unfavorabIe news from
abroad brought renewed selling,
however, and in the last week Of
December a new low record of 4.99
cents to the franc was established
Lire Relatively Steady.
Relative steadiness marked the
Italian lire during the year. Bills
on Rome moved with a range of
less than cent during the entire
year.
The most striking feature of the
non-European exchanges during the
year was the comparative steadi-
ness of Japanese yen in face Of the
earthquake. The temporary de-
cline in her currency was made
good within a month.
The general tendency of South
American rate has been downward.

RESERVE BOARD
STOPS BANK
BONUSES
Institutions, However, Make
Corresponding Increases
in Annual Salaries.
By MERRYLE S. RUKEYSER.

Dy MERO j 1An Dc kOCAAS ACASbS"
NEW YORK, Jan. THE Fed
eral reserve board at Washington
has instructed the twelve Fedora!
reserve banks under its supervision
to discontinue the practice Of giving
end-of-the-year bonuses to employees.
Accordingly, the, Federal reserve
bank of New York paid it's final
special adjustment to it's great army
Of clerical workers at the close OF
1923. The maximum amount paid
was 500.
In order to avoid injustices to EN-
ployes, the local reserve bank has
made equivalent permanent in
creases in salaries Of all workers
earning between $1,000 and $4,000
a year. The automatic raise, which
went into effect this week, Will
be between $50 and 500.
Theory and Practice.
Although the custom Of paying
Christmas and New Year bonuses
still prevails in most banks and other
financial institutions, there has re-
Gently been a disposition to change
the basis of compensation. Like the
reserve board, several OF the leading
private bankers were Of the opinion
that the principle of the bonus or
end-of-the-year gift was unsound.
In theory, the extra compensation
was an expression Of appreciation
by the management of good services
rendered In practice, both employ
err and employee began to look upon
the bonus as parts of the rewards
of the job and it was taken into
consideration when salaries were de-
termined. Accordingly, some bank
ers have felt it would be more can
did to pay workers what they are
worth, and call the entire compen-
sation salary.
Postwar Effect.
With the rise in the cost OF living
during and after the war, the way Of
the white-collared workers, including
bank employees, was hard. Salaries,
unlike wages, failed to rise as quick
ly as prices. Recognizing the hard
ships, banks went in increasingly
for the practice of making so-called
adjusted compensation at the end of
the year to offset, to some extent,
the effects Of high prices.
With price sterilization at present.
the Federal Reserve Board, which
acts as leader Of opinion, felt justi-
field in putting an end to the
practice so far as it concerns its
Jurisdiction.
Private banks and business enter
prises which decide to follow the
leadership of the Federal Reserve
Board in the matter of disseminating
bonuses or extra compensation
should also follow the board in ap-
proving equivalent permanent salary
increases to take the place Of end
Of the year gifts.
