Beams and seeds

The bean market is quiet and of a holiday
character with all prices unchanged
The bean report of Adolf Koshland saws:
Arrivals of beans are now very light II is
apparent that there are less beans In growers
hands than In previous seasons.
shipments from here not very heavy but
there has been fair movement of lima beans at
the reduced prices. few orders have been
placed for shipment before the first OF the wear
SO as to get the benefit OF the Toe freight rate
The market shows very steady tone and stocks
are not considered too full although the visible
supply is greater than 1t has been in previous
seasons. This is due to the fact that the beans
nave been shipped from the interior into ware
houses at shipping points. while in most previous
seasons good part of the crop at this season of
the year still was on hand on the farms
Dealers are firm in their views and EXPECT
good inquiry for beans and are not inclined to
shade prices on quiet market, but are rather in
elined to look for higher prices on some varie-
ties
