Harris Sc Co., Los Angeles. write: "That depends entirely on what the tSov- ernment will do In the way of buying sup- pi.-1. Now that Belgium and Northern France will be evacuated, there will be many more thousands of people dependent on the t'ntted States and Canada for thefr food. Further, there will be enormous markets for food tn Ciermany and Austria. It Is the general belief there are vast food sup - plies In Russia, which Is not so. as It Is facing one of the worst famines In the his tory of the world, which will become acute in the Spring of 1919. Today the grower is panicky, there are few buyers and the farmers all want to sell at the same time, consequently this means lower prices. The bean market Is demoralized and getting wone. Food Administration rules prevent speculation, and It has come to a point where the wholesale grocer is buying hand to mouth. "It costs more to raise beans today than ever before; labor, sacks, twine and feed for horses axe up from UK) to 5O0 per cent. The Government haa permitted the canners to can beans, which will take 200 cars of white beans. This Is a good beginning, and If they come Into the market and start to place ordfs you will see prices advance as , rapidly as they went down. "California bean crop now being harvested was estimated on November 1 at 8.350,000 bushels, consisting of 2.610.000 bushels of Itmas and 3.740.00 bushels of all other varieties. The 1917 production was 8.091,000 bushels. The present crop Is about 45 per cent of the country's total estimated yield. Prices received by the growers vary from cents per pound for the blacker' variety to 10 cents per pound for the lima. It la Interesting to note that these prices are from 10 to S3 per cent lower than last year." tra fancy Jonathana and Wlnesaps were lower at $L75(r 2 per box at shipping points. and ranged steady tn leading markets $2.75ftS.25, reaching 13.30 and even S3."

A foretaste of the post-war period was furnished by the break of 8 to 14 points lu the several issue of the Maxwell Motor Company, following announcement that the dividend on the first preferred stock Is to be suspended because of readjustment .con dltlons. Irregularity at the beginning was occa sioned by the heaviness of Marine pre ferred, which broke over !i points a a re sult of the order from Wahlngton hold ing up the plan of the ale of the com pany' British tonnage. Marine made up much of It loss later and Mexican Petro leum, which fell about 3 points at the out set, scored an extreme advance of 4 points, most of which was retained. United States Steel and affiliated stocks nva a better account of themselves than at any recent time, but copper were under pressure, ignoring reports oi tn iormauon of a combination for th export of metals on a huge scale.

Prospects or an In crease in the movement of the new crop had a bearish effect today on corn. The market, although unsettled, closed 1 cent to 214 cents net lower, with December $1.29 to $1.29, and January $1.31 to $1.3114. Oats finished c to 114c down, and provisions up 5 cents to $1. Notwithstanding that the corn market fluctuated rapidly and that at one time the January delivery touched the highest spot yet on the crop, the general tendency most of the session whs clearly down grade. Forecasts of better weather for husking and transportation from rural sources did good deal to. make selling aggressive. did knowledge that a large number of car permits had been issued lately. For at least the time being fresh developments ap peared to be necessary to focua attention sharply again on the bullish possibilities of food needs In Europe as against the plenti ful supplies eisewnere ana existing short age or vessels. Hedging sales depressed oats. Seaboard demand was slack and the' visible supply total snowed a liberal increase. Provisions were dull but firm.
