MINNEAPOLIS.


The early feeling in futures was weak,
with first sales about lac below the closing
Thursday. The receipts were small and ship
meuts fair, which gave better feeling and
buyers took hold freely at the bottom. a
large amount was sold for May at Sl.09ls.
From that there was a steady advance TO
Sill, with good buying demand. All the
way up from that point there were fractional
to the end. 5000 bu May, sold at $l.09;

Receipts of wheat were 81 cars, and 90
were shipped out. Sellers of samples were
asking higher prices for grade wheat, and al
though the demand did not show much i'm
provement holders held firm for an advance.
Offerings were limited of the best grades,
but the supply OF poor stuff was as large as
usual. and about the Sual proportion was
carried away unsold. City millers we're do
ing most of the moderate buying done. Up
TO noon there was very little business done,
and the total sale of samples for the day
made poor comparison with previous days
of the week. Duluth reported SO cars on
track.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-There was no business and prices
were nominal. There would be no trading
to speak of under the most favorable circum-
stances during the holiday week. The de-
mand NAV not spring up for some days yet,
even after the beginning of the new year.
Whether prices will be sustained during the
present strain is subject of some conject-
ure. Some millers are still impressed with
the belief that the high prices are sill to
come, but the majority favor tine notion that
the current moderate ideas will more likely
prevail. The mills are running light but are
meeting the demand. Patents, sacks to local
dealers. S6.35@6.5O; patents to ship, sacks
car lots, SIS. $4,000; in bnls, So 35@6; 80;

Bran and Shorts-1he marketwas but mod
erately active, as the demand was not In
portant and the production was small. The

steady at 2SG30c for samples in car lots.
Oats-This market was dull but steady at
22d30c for samples in car lots.
