The bees market la showing considerable
strength throughout tba United States, la the
east the markets bars bean ret? fins since tba
season started. Qrewere there bars bean de
manding fun prices, and while buyers hare sot
storked op hesvlly la a specula tire way, the
fact remains tbat tba nor anient of beans In
tbe cast I rather good desplt this.
la California bean pticee ara being bald
firm. Growers there ara showing no disposi
tion (a let go except at toll opening prices.
Leading buyers hav been holding off Is an
ticipation of a break in tba ideaa of growers,
but thla baa not proven tba case. Tbe fact of
tbe witter la tbat La both the seat and west
bean prlcea hare been held high because grew,
ers control tbe situation at this time. Stocks
of beans In tbe banda of Jobbers were nerer
so small ss at this time.
Canned bean interests base also been disap
pointed, and np to this time bare done little
buying. Home time or other tbey will be
c Dispelled to go Into tba open market for sup
plies, and unless tbe views of holding growers
change future prices sra likely to be some
wbat firmer than dealera at preaent anticipate.

Much strength wss shown for wheat In
Chicago st the opening, with blfher prices
early. Both Liverpool and Loudun reported

&orthwest bids for wheat are being ele
vated again In the Interior. Thla Is caus
ing additional strength In the floor market
and a further price rise for the Immediate

decline previously believed likely.
