From evidential context in Going Postal, the local manifestation of the London Financial Times or the New York Wall Street Journal, ie a regular publication keeping track of stocks, shares, exchange rates and financial movements around the principal cities of the Circle Sea region.

Annotation

The Sto Plains Dealer almost shares a name with the Roundworld American newspapers The Plain Dealer in Ohio and the Wabash Plain Dealer in Indiana. These names use "plain" to mean "straighforward" rather than "flat expanse of land".
