WALL STREET CLERKS FINDING
TIME TO SPEND BONUS MONEY

Many houses look for renewed activity
after the tax selling ends on December
81, and, wishing to keep their stats to-
gether, have allowed numbers of their
employees to take vacations on full pay
In fact the evident desire of brokerage
houses to hold on to every competent
man has disclosed the fact that the
street itself is more than confident
that the big excitement will start all
over again after the holidays. Perhaps
that is putting 1t too strong, but dealers
unqueStionably believe there will be a
sharp upturn in sales and they are try
ing to keep their STATS intact This
writer found one broker, employer of a
large office crew, who said that this
force was doing little more than mark
time and that he was retaining them all.

NEW YORK, December pa lean
Christmas for short-enders in the mar
ket isn't necessarily so lean in and
around Broad, Wall and Nassau streets.
Aside from the fact that this year
Christmas bonus payments are larger
than was expected, merchants in the
district are prof1ting by the facI that
for the first Christmas in three years
employees of stock exchange houses,
banks and brokerage houses have time
TO spend the money. This was the ex-
PLANTATION Of brisk business in the heart
Of the region whence have come tales
OF impending gloom and doom.
If the market Is too good, we are
punished" said the owner of a de luxe
sporting goods store down near the
center of the financial whirlpool
These people here work at such high
pressure on these 5000, 000-share days

Bonuses Were Large.
with things easier this year, there
is time for a stroll after lunch, and
clerks, managers and even the big bosses
have time to see what we have. OF
course, ii this slump had been as bad
as 1t might have been, no one would
have had any money left. That's the
worst of running business around this
financial district. When things are
booming nobody has any time to go
shopping, and II they are very bad
there isn't any money to spend. This
year hits in between the two extremes,
and we aren't complaining"
This reaSsuring state Of affairs Is
partly explained by the generous
bonuses passed out all along the street.
One stock exchange firm, Charles d.
Barney & Co., gave its employees addi-
tional payments ranging from per
cent to 80 per cent Of their years
salary, according to time of serv-
ice. The same payments were
made last year, In accordance with
q proflt-sharing plan maintained by the
company, and 1t was announced that
they would be paid again next year. A
Christmas bonus of from 10 to rs per
cent Of years pay was given to the
employees Of H. A. Linde l. Co., stock
brokers. Many houses declared q
Christmas bonus of one months pay.
Other bonuses ranged from to 10 per
cent.
The slump. In sales, after the early
November blowup, found many houses
overmanned and. In spite Of the surface
appearance Of prosperity in the financial
district, many employees were dismissed.
