Reana nnd Seeds

Beans show numerous changes. both up and
down. but the whole market Is nrm. Lower
prices are expected when the new crop comes in.
The bean report Of Adolf koshland says:
There Is no essential change to be noted u
the bean market. Stocks are light and the lOce
demand is naturally small at this time Of the
year 1t Will be fully six weeks before harvest
will have begun generally, and IN the meantime
the small stocks ON hand viii be well marketed.
There is likely to be quite demand for pink
beans before the new crop comes 10 the market.
and this should dispose of the present stock on
hand at full figures. Small whites are entirely
out. of the market present. and there are only
very few Lady Washington beans on hand This
is also the case with bayOs. New Garvanzas
are turning ont light in yield. and the price
shows considerable advance from the first fg-
ures named on the crop. Horse beans. or favas.
are still being harvested and. as In several sea

upturn was largely the result of a falling on
