Aa to the effect of peace on the bean
market. F. E. 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."

NEW YORK, Nov. 20. The uncertain
trend of prices during the greater part ox
ndy' (tock market session otlerea cumu
lative evidence of the contusion existing in
peculative and Investment circles. Trading
howed a moderate expansion of operations
over the previous day, but movement were
flen exceedingly contrary, even in issues
the same class. Pools dominated various
peclaltles. the list hardening appreciably
the end.
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.
Rails playedlittla part in the day1 busi
ness, that division evincing no trend until
the final dealings, when Pacifies hardened.
Tobaccos were among the strong specialties,
but utilities eased 1 to 2 points. Sales
amounted to 060,000 shares.
Domestic bonds were irregular on the
break of 1 to 2 per cent in rails and ila
rine 6a Liberty issues were steady with
the International group. Total sales, par

morning that a meeting of the board of

restrictions on Imports and business In the
spot market. Pending further developments
the local spo market remained nominal
and no change was reported in the cost and

CHICAGO, Nov. 20. 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. Notice of
an embargo on hog shipments to Chicago
Thursday and Friday was a strengthening
ractor.
