MtnneapoLis Markets.

There is growing confidence in the
future prices of the leading grains. Chi
cago, Milwaukee and other large specula-
tive dealing places reports show a better
disposition to purchase, and orders from a
wider field. Receipts at the winter wheat
receiving points are liberal; shipping in
good demand. 1t is also fact that there
is good export inquiry. The offerings
of spring wheat are now small at all
points. The present indications seem to
be frmness in both spring and winter.
The local markets are doing little or moth
ing. This condition of things we may ex-
pect until the new crop comes in.
The British markets opened wheat
strong, corn easier. Markets at lake points
opened 58c from yesterdays close on
wheat. Wheat at 10 o'clock was up Ic
from the opening, PC on corn and oats,
and 5@10c on provisions.
