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, 
1996, are summarized in the table below:

                                Investment Results - Total Return

SHADOW STOCK FUND		11.01%	12.09%	21.37%
Russell 2000*                   5.20%    5.56%  16.54%
Lipper Small Cap 
   Growth Universal*		2.48%	4.30%	20.15%
*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, 1996, were 21.37%, 14.22% and 8.62%, 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.

Small capitalization stocks enjoyed a return to favor last year, with most of 
the glory going to modestly valued stocks. This is illustrated by the returns 
of the unmanaged Russell 2000 Value index, which gained 21.36%, versus the 
unmanaged Russell 2000 Growth index which gained only 10.06%. The largest 
gains for both strategies came in the capital goods, energy and finance 
sectors. The Fund is overweighted in capital goods and finance, but 
underweighted in the energy sector, due partly to price/book valuations and 
partly because of higher institutional ownership. These characteristics helped 
bring about outperformance during the fourth quarter of 1996.

The Fund continues to have attractive valuation characteristics. The average 
price/earnings ratio based on estimated earnings for 1997 for the companies in 
the Fund is only 16.1, well below the unmanaged Standard & Poor 500's multiple 
of 23.3 times earnings. The average price to book value of the Fund's 
companies is 1.5 times, compared to 4.8 for the S&P 500 index or 4.4 for the 
Russell 2000. The reasonable valuations of the Fund's investments should help 
to reduce risk if the market experiences a setback.

A number of holdings were sold during the quarter because they had risen to 
more than double the upper limit of market capitalization to qualify the 
purchase, and their price/book value ratios had risen too high. Among these 
sales were Hadco Corp. (manufactures printed circuits), Lexington Global Asset 
Managers, Inc. (real estate managers), Lynch Corp. (multimedia and telecom 
manufacturing), Maxwell Technologies, formerly Maxwell Labs, (electronic 
components), Pomeroy Computer Resources (retail), Riser Foods (retail), and 
RLI Corp. (specialty insurance).

There has also been a fair amount of merger and acquisition activity. Some of 
the new names in the portfolio are due to consolidation, and one name had to 
be removed altogether when JC Penney purchased Fay's, Inc. (drug store) and 
the holding moved out of our target market cap range. Additionally, Financial 
Institutions Insurance Group, Ltd. was purchased by a private firm for $16 per 
share, our cost basis was $9.67.

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, neglected by Wall Street, and low price-to-book 
value. Although these policies are not always what the stock market favors, 
its returns on a risk-adjusted basis are above average.

We appreciate your continued use of Shadow Stock Fund in your investment 
program.

Sincerely,

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 financial 
statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions 
at the date of the financial statements. 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, 1996 (excluding repurchase agreements), were as follows:

	Purchases  		$	-
        Proceeds from sales          4,097,353

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.
