GREEN BEANS SOLQ
OVER MARKET PRICE
ON YAMHILL STREET
Several Foreign Merchants Asked Two
Cents Per Pound Over Maximum
Price Set by Market Master Retail
Grocers Asked Less.
. Green beans were still being sold Sat
urday at 15c per pound, in" the foreign
section of the Yamhill street public
market, although the market master
posted a maximum price on green beans
at 13c. At 11 o'clock. Saturday, several
hours after .the market opened, every
little merchant between Fourth and
Fifth streets on the Tamhill public mar
ket -was asking 16c' per pound for green
beans. Several did not" display signs
on their produce, but when questioned
as to their price replied 15c per pound.
This is. a higher price than is being
asked by the grocers of the city, al
though the beans sold by retail mer
chants must go through - the wholesale
houses first. - Grocery stores in various
sections of the city are selling first
class green beans at not to exceed two
pounds for 25c or 12V4 per pound, ac
cording to one member of the retail
grocers' association.
Tamhill street public market was or
ganised as a producer's market, where
farmer's products could be sold at the
minimum of cost to the consumer.' yet
many stands were asking 2c per pound
more for green beans on Saturday than
the market master quoted as the maximum-price,
and 2V4c per pound more
than was . being asked by the retail
merchants of the city.

A thoroughgoing Improvement of con

though the carriers are doing their best

that a i shortage of such facilities will
develop as'usual in August- The season
is at hand when : the wheat belt sends
out hurry calls for equipment, but the
situation Is being well handled by the
railroads, and it is hoped that serious
congestion will be averted. ; The crops
are doing so well that there are good
grounds for expecting that the surplus
of wheat and rye this season will reach
650,000,000 bushels.' Under-these con

It is questionable whether under any
conditions much more than 450,000.000
bushels of grain could be shipped from

Such an outward movement would be
unprecedented. The winter wheat crop

account of the foreign countries whose
merchants and exporters are desirous
of doing a record business with the
United States if the necessary credit
facilities are provided. A. Strong com
mittee has been formed to supervise the
carrying out of this huge undertaking.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE UPSET
"Accumulation of such a prodigious
export balance naturally upsets the for
eign exchanges and precipitates a sifi-
atton where It is necessary for Amer
ican bankers to take drastic measures
to offset, if possible,, heavy penalising
of the; foreign buyer of American goods.
As the premium on dollar credits in
creases abroad, the more expensive it
becomes for the foreign buyer to remit
New York exchange In paying for goods
purchased in the United States. It Is
probable that a satisfactory program
will be soon formulated for financing'
tha expansion of this country's foreign
trade. : The federal reserve board has
relieved the foreign exchange market
from Its war time restrictions. By lift
ing the ' gold export embargo, the gov
ernment authorities have taken a step
which : advertises to the foreign nations
as almost nothing else could be strong
position of American finance. . .
HEATT BIYIDEIfBS FINANCED
"The heavy July dividend and interest
account estimated at upwards of 1200.
000.000 has been financed without' acute
tension in the money market. The banks
are experiencing a strong demand for
money , which is likely to Increase as
arrangements are made to market - the
most i valuable crops that were ever
raised by any nation. Tha rise In call
loan rates at New 'York was not sur
prising In view of the $1,100,000,000
which had to be raised last month for
income tax payments almost at the
moment when the current dividend dis
bursements were being financed.; There
is nothing in the outlook to suggest a
sensational rise in money rates, as the
banks are fn a strong position and the
rediscount facilities can be availed ' of
to tide the country over tha harvesting
period. But the negotiations underway

this Influence has not been of nearly

Besides the speculation there has been
