1910 Christmas Club Lists
Ahead Of Year AGO

officials in many Washington
banks reported today that the num-
ber Of subscribers to the new 1910
Christmas savings clubs is running
well ahead Of last year on the same
date and that the amounts 50 far
pledged are also running into higher
figures.
The 1910 clubs were opened on
December /. right after the payment
Of nearly s5,0O0,OO0 to the members
of the 1889 clubs. About 20 banks
have started the clubs of for the
new year. the clubs being conducted
under the usual payment regula-
tions. Some banks are ahead of
their 1887 records.
The increased popularity of the
new clubs to date has surprised
bankers to no little extent. The banks
pay no interest on these funds;
in fact, some deduct 50-cent charge
if the members do not keep up their
payments throughout the year.
Bank officers said today that a
good many members of the 1899
clubs have placed generous portion
Of their funds in savings bank ac-
counts which will pay them per
cent during the coming year. More
real interest in thrift is being shown
than for several years, one banker
asserted. Each year finds fewer
members failing to keep up the full
years payments, he added.

Exchange Committee
Additional
Brokerage Fees
Charges for Various
Services Now Given
Free Suggested

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Taking a
cue from banks, stock brokers pro-
pose to levy special charges for va
rious services rendered aside from
actual execution of buying and SELL
ing orders.
A special committee of the New
York Stock Exchange handed to
the Board of Governors yesterday
a report recommending a schedule
of minimum rates for specific serv-
ices.
Included in the proposals were:
A monthly minimum of 81 on
securities held for safekeeping.
A charge of 10 cents per coupon
in the collection of interest.
A charge of a of / per cent Of
the dividend for dividend claims on
securities not held in the brokers s
office, with rate of 10 per cent on
collections of less than $40
A minimum of l cent per share
and 10 cents per bond for transfers
of ownership where documents
other than stock power of attorney
are required.
Also proposed were charges on
deliveries of securities on order of
the customer, transcripts of state
ments and other special services.
Brokers have been casting about
for ways to make ends meet in the
present reduced volume of trading
and to put brokerage business on a
basis of payment in accordance
with service rendered.
Some brokers contend demand
for specialized services in recent
years has increased without corre-
spending expansion in revenue.
The Stock Exchange also has
been considering ways for increasing
its income with the objective of
accun1ulating a reserve fund for
emergencies.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Time
Magazines index of business condi-
tlons declined again this week,
dropping from 1909 to 99.4.

which is designed to reflect condi-
tions likely to affect the volume of

compared with the recent extreme
rise in industrial production.
