BEANS ARE AT
LOWEST PRICES
CHANGE FOR BETTER SEEMS
CERTAIN
EXPERTS ATTRIBUTE SLUMP TO
SELLING TOO SOON
At Time of Unloading Market Was
Without Demand-Grower; in
Need of Money Sacri-
feed Crop

OXNARD, Feb. IA decidedly bet
ter feeling prevails in the Lima bean
market, and it looks as if bottom had
been struck and change for the bet
ter in sight. Under the influence or
some of the dealers predictions and ac-
tions here and also the knocking of the
market throughout the east at time
when there was no demand the market
declined. Some growers either needing
the money or afraid of further decline
sold their beans for whatever they
could get, and sold pretty cheap, con-
sidering what the market had been.
At the present time the situation
has changed, as the weak holders have
sold and the present holders will not
sell at those prices. The east did not
consider the prices too high. 1t was
simply that beans were not needed then
and they did not want to buy until the
leans were wanted. Now that the
market has declined and it looks for
better prices again, orders are begin
ming to come in. Quite a number OF
shipments are being made and will in
crease as soon as the eastern buyers
are sure of a steady market.
Statistics on Hand
From a statistical point of view, the
stocks on hand on January 1, 1909, were.
not so much larger than usual. Last
year on that date there were in the
southern counties 100000 to $4,000
sacks. This season about 100000 and
not to exceed 465,000 sacks, only
about 10000 sacks more this year
than last. Last year we disposed
of all the beans we. had with
the exception of $4,000 to 10000
sacks that were carried over and the
sale was made at from 4A to 4% cents,
avera ging a little better than Az cents
a pound.
The consumption and shipments were
100000 to 415,0OO sacks. This season
with the price fully 1 cent pound
cheaper than last year, with the white
bean market high and in light supply,
with wheat very high, potatoes high,
higher than they were last year; with
nearly all foodstuffs higher than they
were last year, is it right to expect
that the consumption of lima beans
will be at least equal, if not larger,
than that of last year?
Looking Backward
Looking backward for couple of
seasons, it is seen that the crop of 1906
was very large, between $50, 900 and
$4,000 sacks. It all moved out, none
carried over in the new season and the
season closed out at cents in the face
of a very heavy crop coming on.
The crop of 1907 was over 920,00O bags,
with a lot of very poor unmerchantable
stock, unfit for use. It all moved be-
tween and cents a pound, with the
exception of some $500 sacks, and had
it not been for the poor, moldy,
damaged beans which spoiled the
market it is likely that all the beans
wotlfdE have been shipped. .1|
This season, with 0 total crop of
somewhat over 1,O000O0 bags in the
state and the prices nearly cent a
pound lower, with other beans high,
it is declared there is no reason why
the crop should not clean up well un
der the circumstances.
Evidently the worst has passed and
a better market can be expected.
