Beans and Seeds

The market is of holiday character at the
moment.
The bean report of Adolph Koshland says:
During the last seven days business in beans
has been light except that some orders have
been booked for forward delivery. The stock on
hand on the first OF September shows decrease
of 10000 sacks from the stock on the first of
August, and total shipping movement during
the past month of 2S, 600 sacks against 32 coo
sacks last year.
The shipping movement in September of last
year was 1000 sacks. If it should be as heavy
this year the market would be bare of the more
vised that stocks of these goods are very light
and probably prefer to wait until new arrivals
come in
The new crop Is not so far advanced as earlier
reports have indica ted. 1t will be about another
month before new small white beans will arrive
here. and while some struggling lots of large
white beans are coming in, the regular arrivals
will begin only about the first of October.
1T looks as if pink beans were going to be
quite late The harvest other varieties is due
on their normal dates. If do not get. early
heavy rains we should harvest good quality

meg melons and cantaloupes and both articles
were cheap, and the same was true OF water
melons. despite good warm weather demand
Bartlett pears and freestone peaches were
active at the close Of last week, but there
was large increase in the receipts. which

peaches were overlooked and were offering at
prices well below the quotations for large pack

packages OF grapes sold fairly in the regular
trade, seedless being the hrmest at S1.2J91-T5,

Grated goods were dull, owing to the lack of de-
mand for shipments. Quotations for plums and
prunes strengthened little, the previously low
prices having checked shipments from various
growing districts. The apple market was firm
for the fanciest lots and there was good inquiry
for citrus fruits at previous prices but supplies
in both departments were ample for all needs.
