BOSTON, May 30, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- The Boston Globe is joining other U.S. newspapers in dropping weekday listings of stocks and mutual funds.

Beginning June 20, the New York Times-owned daily will replace such listings with financial news features and services in print and online, the newspaper said Tuesday. The Globe will continue to publish weekly stock and mutual fund listings in the Sunday paper.

"Readers have been turning to the Internet at an accelerating pace for stock and mutual fund quotes," said Martin Baron, editor of the Globe. "That has prompted many newspapers like ours to shift away from spending heavily on pages of financial tables in favor of enhanced web-based investor services."
