Modest Decline in NA Beans

VANCOUVER - Feb 20/10 - SNS -- International dry edible bean markets were little changed in relatively light trading interest during the past week.

This was reflected in a three point decline in the spot market index for U.S. origin beans to 1158 points at week's end; while the weighted average trading level for edible beans lost nine cents per 100 pounds (cwt) to finish the week at $38.63.
