WALL STREET’S BONUS TOTAL IS TWOJILLIONS Christmas Gifts Reported Largest Ever Paid by N. Y. Brokers. BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—More than two billion dollars will be distributed to Wall street workers, investors and the general public during this year’s Christmas season. This huge sum will break all records, exceeding last year’s record distribution by at least 20 per cent. Christmas club payments will make the largest aggregate, more than $600,000,000 in cash now being distributed to investors all over the country. Interest payments to bondholders are expected to add another half million to the total, while dividend disbursements will undoubtedly contribute an equal amount. Bonus payments by Wall street firms and industrial establishments are estimated at one quarter billion and pay payments for bond retirements will total nearly as much. In most quarters it is expected that more than half this two billion estimate eventually will find its way into the stock market. Contrary to printed reports, bonuses by leading Wall Street houses confidently are expected to break all records, notwithstanding possible large losses suffered by some of the houses through the November break in the market. Business in stocks has broken all records and from present indications will continue extremely active at least over the first few months of next year. Buying power of this billion dollar distribution to the general public and investors undoubtedly will exercise a powerful, stabilizing factor in the stock market over the year-end. In addition the heavy reinvestment demand, the “fad” of giving stock certificates for Christmas presents, has not diminished to any extent and some buying is expected from these quarters. Buying of this character is expected to offset to a large extent selling for “tax losses” by a number of leading speculators. In some quarters it is reported that most of the tax loss selling has already been effected.

In the Stock Market

(Bv Thomson A McKinnon 1 NEW YORK. Dec. 10-There is a possibility that the finance committee of the steel corporation may consider the advisability of a capital distribution at its session today, such a recommendation appears to be somewhat premature. Perhaps of more importance just now so far as the affairs of the corporation are concerned is the report of unfilled orders. A fair sized increase, which is generally anticipated, will probably do more to reassure the business world of the fundamental soundness of our commercial-struc-ture than any other development. After all, the chief purpose of the administration and our banking leaders is to prevent any further recession in business, and gradually bring about improvement, and as the steel industry has always been considered a barometer of what is to come, the effect of increasing steel orders can not be minimized as a psychological factor. Temporary firmer money conditions due to seasonal causes probably had the effect of checking Hie too rapidly advancing tendency of the security markets and served to reveal a technical condition that is not as strong as might be desired. For this reason we suggest that fresh commitments be so timed as to take advantage of any further moderate reactions.

Liverpool opened lower this morning, but not as low as was expected, being down 1 to 1% cents Buenos Aires was higher at the opening, being % cent up, which lent strength to Liverpool. While Argentine crop news is still bullish, it has lost its effect on the American market. The southwest Is offering wheat much more freely as a result of the advance in prices.
