Christmas Clubs Make Record.
One Of the leading high spots of 1882
was the new mark scored by Washing
tons Christmas savings clubs. These
clubs have grown in favor every vear
since 1928. when they got their real
start in the National Capital In
reaching a new peak in 1892 Wash
ingtonians subscribed more than SO 900,
900 to clubs conducted by the various
banks. Memberships passed the 100000
mark. The growth in thrift, regard
less Of so many lower incomes, was a
surprise to local banking interests
Many new worthwhile banking con-
nections were established in 1882, and
many small bank accounts subStan-
tally increased.
Business on the Washington Stock
Exchange during the past year was
considered satisfactory considering
general conditions. The most impor.
tant move taken by the local exchange
during the year was the establishing oi
minimum bids on local securities. This
was a protective measure adopted b.
the Baltimore and other smaller ex.
changes throughout the country.
The present officers Of the local ex.
change are c. j. Gockeler, president
Y. z. Booker, vice president; Karl w
Corby, secretary, and James M. John,

Heavier Tourist Traffic Seen.
While tourist business in washington
was Disappointing last year. yet tourist
traffic Is an important source OF rev.
enue. The opinion Is freely expressed
In the financial district that the COM
ing year will probably show improve
ment. The throng that will be here
for the presidential Inauguration Is one
reason for this claim.
District of Columbia bankers and
business men consider that 1882 was
the most hectic year that is likely to
be witnessed in the present decade.
Majority opinion is that things hit bot
tom last Summer and that the trend
win be upward, even If very slow,
during 1888.
Retail trade in washington for the
first eleven months OF 1882 was is per
cent under the same figure in the pre-
vious year. In November. department

the difference between 1882 and the
same months in 1891 was lessened. in

buying power because Of the cut In pay

During 1882 Washington made bet

the other cities in the fifth Federal
Reserve district. Not only that, but
the fifth Reserve district outstripped
the other II Reserve districts in cut

d. c. Bank Clearings Lower.
Bank clearings in Washington in 1892
were naturally lower than in the pre-
vious year The slump was due to two
main factors-business conditions and
the imposition by Congress Of 2-cent
tax on bank checks.
The slump in bank clearings in
Washington has not been as extensive
as in the leading industrial cities in the
country. The Washington Clearing
House Association reports the following
clearings by months in 1892, compared
with the corresponding periods in 1881 !:

YALE TO DROP
 ROTATING PLAN

Malcolm Farmer doesn't sub scribe to the theory that n victory over Harvard ipso fact0 guarnntees a successful Yale football season, but he does foel that Harvard IS YaiA's chief rival on tho gridfron. Acting on this belief Farmer VIII discontinue the rotating plan, adopted in 1881, which provided that Yale should meet Princeton and Harvard in the final game Of the campaign on alternate years,
 Beginning in 1884, Harvard will return to It's permanent climax poe sition on the Yale schedule, m ar- ranRement which endured from 1897 through 1880. Prior to 1897, Princeton was Yale's principal ana ultimate adversary.
 Yale sentiment, in the aggregate supports Malcolm Farmers move 10 restore the Harvard game as the seasons finale. After all. the John- nies are the hereditary foe' Somc- how the Yale-Princeton gam" seemed like an emotional anti climax to tho Ell players when 1t followed the Harvard match. They regard Princeton as h legendary rival, but it takes the sight of rcd ierseys to rouse that Mccoy Hat field fervor In Ell breasts. Pat Crowicy's attitude probably typi- fies the average Yale mans feel ings on this point. Pat asked tho coaches not to use him at Prince ton this year unless absolutely necessary. because he wanted his injured leg to be entirely ht for Harvard,
 Princeton, 1t is understood. will hold the ultimate position on the Yale schedule next year for the last time---unlcss and until re- versai of policy It's again made. The Tigers are reconclled. 1t Is said 10 the penuitimate place they oc- oupled for over thirty years on the Blues roster of rivals. They will probably extend their season 10 conform with the post-games or Harvard and Yale by scheduling m annual game with Dartmouth on the third Saturday in Novem- Der.

 I've been in big-time tennis since i911," Tilden explained at his hotel. "I'll be 41 in February, and l feel it's time to quit"
 He said he planned to play In professional matches in the United States until June i5 when he and couple of other players will go to Europe for competition there. When he returns, he will hang up his racquet and probably begin promoting large indoor tennis courts.
 The Tilden Tennis Courts. Inc, will start off with plants in Brook. iyn and White Plains, N. Y. 1T they are successful, similar plants may be built in other cities. He estimated that each project would cost about SS0,000. He already has the backing.
