Higher Prices for Beans Are
Named in California Advices

Portland-There was some talk of
an 11-cent bean market Wednesday,
but jobbers were adverse to putting
out such an extreme quotation, not
withstanding the further advance in
the South In fact, Portland jobbing
prices are below parity with Califor-
MIA 1t is believed there are enough
beans here to meet the restricted re-
quirements during the remainder Of
the old-crop year, but if the supply is
exhausted, it cannot be replenished at
existing prices While the main fac
tor in the strength of the market is
the government demand, there is little
doubt that speculation has played an
important part in bulling prices in the
South. The available supply of white
beans in California is limited, and ap-
pears to have passed into strong specu-
lative hands.
Advices received from San Fran
cisco said small whites were practi-
cally cleaned up at shipping points at
81 cents and very few Lady Washing
tons were left at cents. There was
good demand for Limas, which were
advancing in sympathy with the high
prices of white beans.
