Th market on beans Is so firm at this time that prices can scarcely be held at $4.76 for large and small whites very much longer. Five-cent beans are now predicted by local handlers be cause of the unusually beavr-Hlemend now coming to California from the east and the very small available supplies to tide the trade over until the new crop Is ready for the market. . Along with the bean market rlre prices are showing unusual strength and at flrlmary points several late ad vances In value have been announced because of the nominal holdings Even these mall stocks are In hands that are able to hold until able to command higher values.
