substitute for olive oil and cotton-seed oil. Bean Oil is also- regarded as suited for making soap. Bean Oil is in widest demand as food and paint and soup-making material in the order mentioned. To be more particular, it serves as material for making salad oil, artificial lard, and oleomar- garine. In the second place, it is used for making paints, varnish, linoleum, and other solvents. In the third place, it supplies a soap-making material. The availability of Bean Oil as substitute for other oils of different kinds in their varied uses denotes the wide range of ‘ts utility. On the other hand, Bean Oil has no special characteristic to pose as th~ highest available in any of the varied uses, so as to command any other oil on the market. For instance, linseed oil is unfit to eat, but it has the property to control other oils as paint- making material. As long as the market is gluttoned with linseed oil quoted at cheap prices, Bean Oil will be left utterly neglected by the paint manufactures, The demand condition for Bean Oil will be reversed, provided linseed oil supply be insufficient and its price be stiff. To cite another instance, olive oil and cotton-seed oil, both unsuited for paint-making material, stands the fore- most as table oil, controlling the Bean Oil market with sage. Next, as soap-making material, peanut oil, olive oil, copra oil, and cotton-seed oil defy rivalry by Bean Oil.
