VERY SCARCE ARTICLE the price of limas has been Since reduced they have been going so fast that, unless the price is raised considerably, the market promises to be cleaned up long before the utterly harvested. Last Frinew beans are there were 125 car loads under day control of the Lima Bean Selling This means about 100,000 agency. sacks. If the agency had, as 'claimed and it must have because it could control the market, nearly all of the beans under its control.

then this represented considerably less than a normal supply on hand for this time of the year. But in addition to this fact comes now the announcement that one-fifth of this total crop, or 25 car loads, were sold by Saturday afternoon, practically in one day, leaving less than 80,000 sacks for selling during the rest of this month, June and July. The way these beans were sold is a fine illustration of several things, mainly what confidence will accomplish While the beans were started at a comparatively low price, it was the market price. no more and no less But where before the beans could not be sold readily, once the pool was formed, the demand absorbed a great quantity in a few chort weeks Within less than a month the price was raised a few cents. then raised again the second and again the third Now the supply is so limited that the price can again be raised to a point somewhere near where it would have been.

except for the craz; cut-throat competition permitted by independent growers, who panicky, dumped their beans on the market regardless of price NO ARMED RESISTANCE BY GERMANS (Speciai to The Courier!

Livingston. 5-26-6-3c Mayor Sailer, general chairman of the board of trade barbecue, which was to have been given this week Friday at Foster Park, announces thru The Courier today that the barbecue has been postponed until Sunday, June 1.
