Beans and Seeds

The trade continues to report a steady to firm
market for beans. with the white kinds leading
in irmness, being In continuous demand for ship
ment out OF the state. lStocks of large white
are reduced to u low point.
The bean report of Adolf koshland says:
During the last week there has been o
material change in the market. Prices for
white beans continue exceedingly strong and
show a slight advance. Other varieties are not
in heavy demand and the volume of business is
rather light. However there are occasional in
qulries for straight carloads and mixed car
loads, and in view of the small stocks on hand
1t does not take much demand to move the bulk
:, There is no change in the crop prospects at
this writing. Reports from Michigan indicate
that the weather there has done some damage
to the growing plant, killing the blossoms in
places, and so while very heavy increase in
the crop was expected it is not probable that
Michigan will produce above an average crop of
white beans The acreage of red kidney beans
planted in the east is very small this year

NEW YORK Aug. 11.-Huttons wire says:
The shorts were determined today TO drive
prices down by main force. The long interest
seemed Indifferent to their efforts until prices
were well down. They were large buyers of oc-
tober at 9.30c and again at 9.25e. The south
now must sell freely if shorts are 10 be given
the chance to cover, otherwise Sensa tional rise
Will follow efforts to cover
There has been a strong crowd opposed to the
ring bears all along. While the cotton crowd has
been hammering cotton, it has been supported by
Wall street operators. The bears who heavily
snort of cotton have been giving ont big selling
orders to the pool TO create the impression that
the bulls were selling. Today they are selling,
trying to catch stop orders and are Offering big
blocks of March point over bid prices.
