YEAR-END SPECIALS

Today’s Business section is a special issue looking back at 1994 and ahead to 1995, in both the economy and the financial markets.

Regular Sunday features will return next week.

The expanded stock tables in today’s section are annual performance summaries; they take the place of the weekly tables. A comprehensive--and user-friendly--summary of the market year appears on D7.

Monday’s Business section will be a year-end report on mutual funds. Look for performance data on more than 3,500 funds--including fourth-quarter, one-year, three-year and five-year returns--and strategies for beating the market and an assessment of the fund outlook for 1995.
