AN INDISPENSABLE WORK.

There used to be published, I believe, and perhaps is still published, a volume of household information under the title of Enquire Within upon Everything. It is a title which, so far as Stock Exchange securities are concerned, would Certainly apply to the Stock Exchange Official Intelligence, published each year by Spottiswoode and edited by the Secretary of the Share and Loan Department of the Stock Exchange. Necessarily, it is a bulky volume, but for com- Ileteness and accuracy of information regarding British, ndian, Dominion, Colonial, American, and Foreign Securities it would be hard to beat. From Consols down to the smallest

company all particulars as to capital, dividends paid and, in fact, every item of useful information to shareholders will be found. In addition, however, increasing importance has come to be attached to the special chapters relating usually to special topics of general, interest, and the volume for 1928 contains special chapters on Municipal and County Finance, Indian Finance, War Debts, and Company Law in 1927.
