New York December 10 Wall Street is slowly recovering from a two year slump and hints point to a liberal distribution of bonuses and gifts at Christmas. During the war boom many financial firms gave large year end bonuses and salaries boosted by 25 to 50 percent. This year banks mostly abandon such gifts though some use length of service or fixed salary based amounts.
