North Dakota paper brings back local stock listings

The Fargo Forum, which last month cut its stock listings, is bringing back a list of local stocks of interest to be published daily after hearing complaints from readers, writes buisness editorÂ Craig McEwen.

McEwen wrote, “Many longtime Forum readers who donâ€™t use or have access to computers requested resurrecting the agriculture and stock elements.

“In todayâ€™s edition, readers will find 144 ‘Stocks of Local Interest’ listed, 107 more than previously printed in the new format and 23 more than appeared before introducing Money & Markets.

“Additionally, a listing of agriculture commodity futures from the Minneapolis Grain Exchange, Chicago and New York Boards of Trade is again being offered for grain, sugar and meat.

“To provide space for these changes, foreign currency exchange rates and global market index listings have been limited to those having the most interest locally.”
