Beans and seeds

Beans continue very firm, with prices un-
changed. The Schultz Hansen company says:
California bean dealers never before in the
history of the street all OF a sudden had such
inquiry and demand for pink beans. IL IL
estimated that 500 kilograms were received
by the produce dealers for beans during the
last DAYS of the first week OF this month. In
consequence of this demand the market for all
kinds of beans has advanced from Is TO 100
points
The stocks of pinks since March 30 have
decreased $1,000 sacks over 100 cars have
been shipped out of the state. and of bayos over

DECISION HAS
BAD EFFECT

NEW YORK, May 3.-The violent huctu-
atoms in Reading belied the assumption
saat the supreme court decision in the com
nodities clause case would prove without
stock market influence in either direction
The market slipped into condition Of
stagnation before the announcement Of the
decision and became almost equally leth-
argic in the period of perplexity following
the first report of the scope of the de-
cisicn.
The sentiment regarding the decision un-
derwent violent mutations, plainly indI-
Gated in the downward plunge in Reading
On the first bald announcement that the
provisions of the Law were upheld and IN
the violent upshoot which followed then
the conviction took shape that while the
terms Of the law were upheld, the govern
ment's contentious regarding its construc-
ton against the railroads were disallowed
The extreme range in Reading was from
Sl4sss ct the lowest to Sl5lla at the high
est, the latter figure representing the high
est price touched since the boom in the
stock in 1905, which eliminated in q price
of SI64 in January of 1906. There were
intermediate fluctuations of convulsive vio-
lence which invited. the most unbridled
speculation by the room traders for whom
the sudden change in the movement OF the
stock represented nothing but the slightest
chance.
Tie Reading movement was The index Of
the whole market. but in It's most exasger-
atsd terms. The disposition of the commod-
tiles clause, . zas felt, put out Of the
way factor sl-at has been overhansing
the market with repressive effect for
months.
The general effect of the decision was
also regarded as cheering and helpful for
property and corporate interests. The nat
ural expression of oheerfulness by those in
terezts is 20 put up prices Of stocks.
The taking Of another million dollars in
gold bars from the assay Office for ship
ment 70 Paris showed force Of depletion
Of bank reserves still in operation. The
8 per cent cell money rate Of last Friday
left an expectation Of possibly frmer money
rates for a day or two. No higher rate
than per cent was touched during the day
and opinion in the money market settled
back into conviction Of prolonged case. The
promise Of extended abundance of money
seemed to be the cause of sharp advances
in a number of industrial preferred stocks,
United States steel leading with rise of
two points to the record price of 1I71x.
The outburst of speculative excitement
following the commodities clause decision
swept away all other considerations and
the market wss strong to the last.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales (psr
vslue), Se,7eo 900.
United States bonds were unchanged on
