IDS Stock Fund, Inc.
IDS Tower 10
Minneapolis, Minnesota  55440-0010

Gentlemen:

I have examined the Articles of Incorporation and the By-Laws of
the Company and all necessary certificates, permits, minute books,
documents and records of the Company, and the applicable statutes
of the State of Minnesota, and it is my opinion:

(a)   That the Company is a corporation duly organized and existing
      under the laws of the State of Minnesota with an authorized
      capital stock of 10,000,000,000 shares, all of $.01 par
      value, that such shares may be issued as full or fractional
      shares and that on October 31, 1995, 137,882,403 shares were
      issued and outstanding;

(b)   That all such authorized shares are, under the laws of the
      State of Minnesota, redeemable as provided in the Articles of
      Incorporation of the Company and upon redemption shall have
      the status of authorized and unissued shares;

(c)   That the Company registered on December 23, 1992 an
      indefinite number of shares pursuant to Rule 24f-2 and is
      herewith filing a Rule 24f-2 Notice covering the shares
      during its Fiscal Period ended October 31, 1995; and

(d)   That shares which were sold at not less than their par value
      and in accordance with applicable federal and state
      securities laws were legally issued, fully paid and
      nonassessable.

I hereby consent that the foregoing opinion may be used in
connection with the Rule 24f-2 Notice.

Very truly yours,



Leslie L. Ogg
