Wall Streets Contingent
Minus Year End Bonus Due
To Depressed Condition
Shown Where Firms In
Other Parts OF Country
Following Rule OF De-
preston Years

Wall Street, once lavish
Santa Claus, is letting the
rest of the country set the
pace in Christmas bonuses
this year.
Slim profits Of brokerage
and banking business was
cited today as the reason
''the street" was unable to
revive its custom of gayer
days when payment of
bonuses was a year-end GUS
tom.
The largest Christmas
bonus thus far announced
for the year in Wall Street
is that of Redmond and Com
pany, stock exchange firm,
which will give employees
bonuses equivalent to 20 per
cent of individuals yearly
wage.
Some houses on Wall
Street indicated today that
the question of bonuses for
clerical workers viii be de-
cided tomorrow.
Few firms have announced
bonuses Of one to two weeks
pay to be tucked into en-
ployes stockings.
Without exception major
Wall Street banks will re-
frain from extra compensa-
ton to employees this year.
Firms in other parts of the
United States generally are
following the rule of depres-
sion years during the Yule-
tide. and for the most part
extra compensation has been
abandoned.
