Because of computer problems at Tribune Media Services, the company that supplies some financial tables to The New York Times, the stock tables in today's Money & Business section, which went to press on Friday night, are incomplete. While some stocks are omitted, prices for those that are listed are accurate, although in some cases the volume of shares traded may be incorrect. The mutual fund tables are unaffected. Readers wishing a copy of the stock tables reporting Friday's trades or those for the full week may write to Production Quality Control, The New York Times, 229 West 43d Street, New York, N.Y. 10036.
