Panorama Of Finance and the Markets.

AS one would expect of a great me-
tropolitan newspaper having the facili-
ties of the Chicago Record-Herald, that
paper always covers the markets and f.
nancial and commercial intelligence
generally on a scale of exceptional full
ness, covering two entire pages Of each
issue. The quotations on live stock,
grain and provisions, stocks and bonds,
and in fact every commercial and inan-
cial market in which the people of the
Northwest are interested, are thoroughly
complete and satisfactory.
Special cables tell the story of finance
abroad. The Speculative Gossip"
"Wall Street Talks" and "LaSalle Street
Notes" are features Of the Record Herald
market page that interest spectators
from the pacific to the atlantic coast.
They tell Of the under currents in the
grain and security markets. They re-
late personal gossip of the pits, in its
way as important as the humdrum and
routine part of the days story of specu-
lation. The Wall street letter OF John
Chambers summarizes the daily history
of Gotham's money mart in a most en-
tertaining and instructive fashion. Elk
anime the market page of any issue for
yourself.
