The Stock Exchange Official Intelligence for 1903. Vol. XXI. Edited

by the Secretary of the Share and Loan Department. (Spottiswoode and Co. 50s.)—This huge volume, which shows a not inconsiderable increase over its predecessor of 1902, is beyond any analysis of ours. We may direct attention, however, to the special articles on "Company Law in 1902" (written, of course, before the latest " London and Globe" developments), " National Debts of the World," "Colonial Finance and Development," "Indian Finance," " Municipal and County Finance," and " British Railways," as also to the "Liquidation List." It includes all companies that have gone into liquidation in twelve years (1891- 1902), and makes the number to be about four thousand four hundred.
