Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stock Exchange Since the passing of the J oint - Stock Companies' Acts of 1862 - 64, which, with earlier measures, greatly increased the facilities for the investment of the people's savings, the growth of the business of deal ing in stocks and shares has been enormous, and the general knowledge of what Stock Exchange busi ness means has naturally increased. Probably the increase in knowledge has been more marked in the last twenty years than in any other similar period since 1855, when the first J oint - Stock Companies' Act was passed, by which the liability of shareholders was limited to the extent of their stake in the enter prise. The period, too, has seen the issue of many books explaining the work of the Stock Exchange and the meaning of price movements, and it has seen also an important increase in the space devoted in the Press to financial matters. Even now, however, there is much misconception regarding the functions of the Stock Exchange, and to many people the newspaper columns giving the quotations of Public Securities, and the reason for the changes in them from day to day, are regarded in the same light as uninteresting advertisements.
