MESSAGE 
To Our Shareholders

Shadow Stock Fund's total returns (price change and reinvested distributions)
for the most recent quarter, semiannual period and year ended December 31,
1995, are summarized in the table below:

                                  Investment Results _ Total Return
                                       Periods Ended 12/31/95
                                       3 Mos.  6 Mos.  12 Mos.
SHADOW STOCK FUND                       1.4%    8.0%    23.6%
Russell 2000*                           2.2%    12.3%   28.4%
Russell 2000 Value*                     2.9%    11.5%   25.8%
S&P 500 Index*                          6.0%    14.4%   37.5%
*Unmanaged stock index

The Fund's average annual compounded total returns 
for one year, five years and the life of the Fund (inception August 28, 1987)
as of December 31, 1995, were 23.64%, 17.53% and 7.18%, respectively.
Performance data contained in this report is for past periods only. Past
performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and
share value will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than
original cost.

A comparison of the unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500 index of larger
companies and the unmanaged Russell 2000 index of smaller companies shows
that 1995 was a year when larger companies were strongly favored over
smaller companies. It was also a year when healthcare, financial and
technology (for the first nine months) stocks were strongly favored over
consumer cyclical, basic materials and energy (except for the fourth
quarter) issues. Technology shares experienced profit taking in the last
quarter as some major mutual funds that were heavily overweighted in the
sector aggressively lightened their exposure. Energy stocks reflected
increasing demand due to the colder weather that began to be felt late in
the quarter. The growth style of investing dominated the value style in 1995,
except in the last two months of the year.

Risk of losing principal and stability of one's investment are important
components in deciding what securities or fund to purchase. While it is
commonly accepted that on an individual basis small companies are riskier
than large companies, most investors don't appreciate the extent to which
individual company risks can be modulated by ownership of a diversified
portfolio of a large number of smaller companies.

Two widely used measures of risk are the standard deviation of returns and
Beta, which measures the sensitivity of portfolio returns to those of a
market index. Another is Morningstar Risk, a proprietary risk measure
included in the database produced by Morningstar, Mutual Funds OnDisc.
Based on all these measures, Shadow Stock Fund has been less risky than
other small company value funds, and considerably less risky than small
company growth funds. Our portfolio management policies which lead us into
companies with distinctly lower prices relative to underlying book value
and lower price/earnings ratios also contribute to control or risk.

The Fund continues to base its policies on three primary characteristics
that academic studies have identified as leading to above average
performance in the past. They are small size, neglect by Wall Street and
low price-to-book value. Although the Fund's policies are not always what
the stock market favors, its returns on a risk-adjusted basis have been
above average.

Fund shareholders are reminded that Jones & Babson offers a wide variety of
no-load mutual funds to meet an investor's various financial objectives.
Low cost Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) and prototype retirement
plans are also available. It's easy to open or transfer your IRA to Jones
& Babson. Just call and ask for our free IRA Investor Kit. The kit contains
an easy-to-complete IRA application and transfer form. We appreciate your
continued use of our Fund in your investment program.

Sincerely,


Larry D. Armel
President

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a diversified open-end management investment company. The following is a
 summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund
  in the preparation of its financial statements.

Investments _ Common stocks traded on a national securities exchange are
valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the
period or, if no sale was reported on that date, at the average of the last
reported bid and asked prices. Common stocks traded over-the-counter are
valued at the average of the last reported bid and asked prices. Investment
transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income and
distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend dates.

Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and unrealized
appreciation and depreciation of investments are reported on the identified
cost basis.

Federal and State Taxes _  The Fund's policy is to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
Therefore, no provision for federal or state tax is required.

Equalization _ The Fund uses the accounting practice known as equalization,
by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of redemption of
capital shares, equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of
undistributed net investment income on the date of the transactions, is
credited or charged to undistributed income. As a result, undistributed net
investment income per share is unaffected by sales or redemptions of capital
shares.

2. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES:

The aggregate amounts of security transactions during the period ended
December 31, 1995 (excluding repurchase agreements), were as follows:

	Purchases  		$	_
        Proceeds from sales          2,377,897

3. MANAGEMENT FEES:

Management fees, which include all normal expenses of the Fund other than
fees for pricing services, custodian fees, dues, taxes, fees and other
charges of governmental agencies for qualifying the Fund's shares for sale,
special legal fees, interest and brokerage commissions, are paid to Jones &
Babson, Inc., an affiliated company. These fees are based on average daily
net assets of the Fund at the annual rate of one percent of net assets.
Certain officers and/or directors of the Fund are also officers and/or
directors of Jones & Babson, Inc.

This report has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders of
Shadow Stock Fund, Inc., and is not to be construed as an offering of the
shares of the Fund. Shares of this Fund and of the other Babson Funds are
offered only by the Prospectus, a copy of which may be obtained from Jones
& Babson, Inc.
