A STOCK EXCBANGE " BRADSHAW."
What Bradshaw is to the railway traveller, so the Stork Exchange Official Intelligence is both to the stockbroker and also to the investor in public securities. It is a little more expensive than Bradshaw, being priced at 13, but it is well worth the money. A prize might almost safely be offered to anyone failing to find within its pages any Stock Exchange security officially quoted within the period covered by the volume, and the information given with regard to each security is of the most exhaustive and, at the same time, the
most reliable character. Almost as important, however, as the alphabetical record of securities are the special chapters dealing with legal decisions affecting companies and with municipal, Colonial and foreign finance. In the present volume a conspicuous feature is a thirty-page article dealing with Local Government and the changes since the first Poor Relief Act of 1601. I should be inclined to think that nothing of so exhaustive and complete a character dealing with this

The book is published by
Spottiswoode, Ballantyne and Company, Limited. * * * *
