The private wires of Mitchell, Mulcahy & Co. yesterday reported the New York stock market standing up better than expected under the bank statement which showed the lerge in- arease of §14,843,000 in loans though consider- able of this increase was due to payments on the Pennsyivania loan of $50,000,000.

Missiesippi aud Missour! River points are still using Caii- oes, which is unusual at this time fornia pot .of the year. The Eest has experienced a hard and closed winter, which has prevented po- teto shipments from the north. The conse- quence is California potatoes are in demand from the Southwestern States. This large trude has taken hundreds of cars, which hs reduced stocks to such an extent that the mcw crops witl come into smparatively barren market ‘Excessive raine will delay the new crop at least thirty days, and this, combined with light stocks and very large seed demand, we anticipate will make 2 much higher market as the season for old potatoes draws to a close. 'ONIONE—Sound stock &t this time of the year s usually scarce, but large receivts of Australian brown (and more coming) are sup- piying the demand, and prices as quoted are not_expected to advance. “BEANS--It is resorted that Russia has purchased on the Continent of Europe enor- mous amounts of beauns sor shipment over the trans-Siberian Rallway to the Far Kast fornia shovid have this trade, and would ' heve it If Congress would take the matter up and ipeist that food products, carried iu American bottoms flofiting the American flag, Gestined to Japanese or Russian ports, are not contraband ot war. Heavy buying on the Continent has decreased imports of foreign besne &t the Atlantic seaboard, and it is re- ported that the stocks of foreign beans at New York and Boston are 60,000 eacks less at the present than at the same time in 1063 ““The Bastern markets are up, and New York and Boston the past month have been heavy buyers of California white beans.

The steady shipping of California beans the past sixty @eys has decreared stocks and holders are very firm in their views, and there is nc dizposition to let go.

This would be a low condition for April. The Government crop reportsfor fourtcen years show only four years as low as this. The whole situation on wheat Is one of uncertainty. The crop is not getting any nd needs weather of the The very moderate stocks of cash wheat are strongly held every- where and the moderatc demand of cash wheat has to pay higher prices and bid premiums. On the other hand, the mills are having a very poor demand for flour and the indica- fons are that dealers and distributors in flour loaded up heavily on the war, and gre not likely to be in the market to any ge extent for some time to come.
