Los ANGELES, Dec. 15.-Eastern fresh eggs

green vegetables the street were light, there

Beans and Seeds

Beans show a number of changes. generally
slight. The market continues quiet and feature
less
The bean report of Adolf Koshlaud says:
During the last week the market has shown
very little activity, and this is doubt due to
the approach of the holidays and stock taking
time. In view of this there is little change in
is steady. 1t is particularly firm for white
beans
There has been an advance in the price of
cranberry beans, and some speculative buying ON
account of the decreasing stocks of this variety
and the good demand.
THE stock of beans, according TO the report
of the Merchants exchange. amounted to SIC. 900
sacks in this state the 1st of December
against $4,000 sacks year ago, and about
$50. 600 sacks the year before that, so that
based on these figures, we should not look for
any surplus.
However, this report of the exchange is not
exact in of its details, and the stock on
hand Al that time probably was larger than indi-
Gated above.
In view of the conditions that are reported
from other bean markets. there should be good
demand for California beans during the rest OF
the season.
