THE STOCK EXCHANGE OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR 1924. (Spottiswoode, Ballantyne. £3

net.) The forty-second volume of the ponderous Stock Exchange Official Intelligence contains its customary mass of reliable information and is, of course, one of the most laborious achievements in the world of reference books. There are considerable additions to the introductory matter besides the usual substantial articles on finance and company law. The publishers are to be congratulated on making so notable a reduction in the price of the present volume.
