The Elgin Courier News, a Sun-Times newspaper, said Sunday that it would cut its stock listings beginning next week, according to a short item in the paper.

The story stated, “So starting Tuesday, we plan to revamp the financial pages. Stock listings will be replaced by a page of information and graphics on metals, currencies, CD rates, snapshots of certain industries, stock of local interest and a variety of other financial material that will vary each day.

“The purpose of the page will be to complement financial news that is available elsewhere and provide readers with material in one place that is not readily available anywhere else.

“Our complete Sunday stock listings will be replaced by a page of mutual fund quotes and information on the best-performing funds by sector or objective.

“The listing of mutual fund prices will serve those who want to follow their funds’ performance and may not have access to a computer.”
