If you have UUCP you can pick up a Clarinet feed (UPI news, Newsbytes,
Street Price Report) from a local system that carries it or from a
commercial news hub site (like Msen or UUNET or PSI) that gives feeds. 
Cost depends on the number of users you have.  No need for a leased line,
an ordinary dialup modem will do just fine, and it looks just like an
ordinary Usenet feed (except that you have only limited rights as to what
you can do with it.)
