World Bean Market Steady, Quiet

VANCOUVER - Mar 30/13 - SNS -- International dry edible bean markets finished the week's trading on a relatively quit note because of the Eastern weekend observances in several key countries.

This made it easier for markets to hold, as reflected in the spot price index for U.S. beans, which was unchanged on the week to finish at 1308. The grower prices index for U.S. origin beans was also unchanged on the week, closing at 1227.

Most Latin American traders closed shop on Thursday, while Argentina traders are not expected to be back at work until Wednesday.
