Illinois paper brings back Sunday stock listings after readers complain

Weekend editor Tim Yonke writes, “Over the last two weeks a significant number of readers phoned, wrote and e-mailed editors here and asked, ‘Where’s my stock page?’

“Because we had never heard much concerning the stock page prior to its brief hiatus, it was part of what I mentioned in a previous column about changes to our Sunday edition.
