Boston. Sept. 5.--Reports from the
west state that In another month Z
record-breaking crop OF beans will
have been harvested and sent on its
way TO the Hub. One OF Boston's most
prominent dealers stated last week that
from the present indications the years
supply promised to be more than SUI.
1cient for all home market demands.
In Michigan alone IL is reported that
$500, 900 bushels will be harvested this
year. The season has been remark
ably favorable for the crop
Boston wholesalers and retailers are
Iubilant over the bright prospects for
the season. Last year when the fall
crop was harvested the scant supply
received in this city, which was 81 ,000
bushels less than the preceding year
sent the prices Of the Hubs staple food
soaring beyond the profit-makina
schedule. More especially have bakers
and small retail dealers had TO suffer
on account OF the high prices. Beans
which formerly sold for $3.50 to 81 a
bushel jumped to s225 and $3.50
AS soon as the 1908 crop begins &c
arrive Boston dealers declare that the
price of beans will undoubtedly drop
10 the old market figure.
