The Stock Exchange Official Intelligence for 1923. (Spottiss woods, Ballantyne.

£4 net.)

Most of the people Who use this book daily and hourly take it for granted, not stopping to reflect on the immense labour and skill which have gone to build up, through many years, so marvellously complete and accurate a work of refer- ence. The new edition is all that we expect. In the intro- ductory matter there are the usual excellent articles on Indian finance and company law and the tables of municipal finance and the like. The reports of the Commissions on the railways of Northern and Southern Ireland are given at some length.
