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.
