Does anyone know what font the NY Times uses for their small print stock listings? I’m also looking for any other font used in the NY Times but most specifically the stock listings. Thank you.

Fine print looks like Helvetica to me.
A little sample of the unknown font would do wonders.
On the other hand, there are probably enough typophile members having a NYT issue at their hands…
This is only marginally related to your ID request, but worth a look anyway: www.typography.com/press/pr_04_09_02.html
The Times uses a mix of standard and custom faces - the Cheltenham they use for their headlines was drawn for them. But the stock indices look like Helvetica. The larger heads in that section might be Franklin Gothic, have to look again.
I believe that is a typeface designed exclusively for them by Font Bureau.
That doesn’t match the font in the paper. It may be used in the slightly larger heads.
It is possible that the Times font is custom but it’s awfully close to Helvetica, look at the cap R.
