Every security (at least, those that are traded on an exchange) has a "ticker symbol", an abbreviation for the name of the security.
The "name" is the name of the company, or is derived from it. "US Steel", for example, is the name of a company. Its symbol is X.
"Last trade" is the price of the stock as of the most recent purchase/sale.
"Change" is the difference between the "last trade" price and the previous day's "close", the price of the final transaction of the day.
"Volume" is just the number of share that changed hands during some period of time (usually one day).
