MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS
Chamber of Commerce

Inere was STEADY 1eellng at the start in
the pit with May wheat l2c under the close
of Saturday and July sold l2c lower with a
fair demand. Later prices weakened and
the market sold down another cent all
around where there was no steadiness. The
fine crop weather with good reports of seed
ing was the chief cause of the break. Prices
were lower at New York and at all Western
markets. The sharp break in May wheat in
Chicago was cause of worriment to the longs
here and brought out considerable of that
July ranged from Hole at different times of
the morning.
The opening ON May was at s6l5c and
S5l2c for July. The price fell rapidly TO
S4l2c for July, S4S4c for May. AT that point
there was better buying and sales were made
all the way up to S6l2c for May, S5Iac for
! July, after which there was considerable
dizziness. The weaknessi in Chicago May and
June wheat was greater than had been ex-
pected and helped the early break here, but
later prices were pretty well supported The
visible decrease of wheat was $4,000 bu;
corn decreased 1,34l.0OO; oats decreased

The liberal receipts of the past four days
have filled the sample tables TO overflowing
as expected, but the demand did not revive
with the new week. Sellers were asking
lower prices on everything and could not
get bids on very much of their load But
one or two of the local mills were picking up
wheat, though a few BUYERS for outside par
ties were making a few selections This
class was the chief support of the market,
but a good deal of wheat was carried away
unsold at the close. Even the hard wheat
went begging in vain. Receipts for
the two days were 284 cars. Ship

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
to-day: Pillsbury A and B, Phoenix, Anchor,
Washburn B, Petit Minneapolis and North
western. The added daily capacity of the
eight mills grinding amounts to 7,400 bar
rels, but the output for to-day will probably
not exceed 10, 400 barrels.
Patents, sacks to local dealers, $5.70@6;

Bran and Shorts-Are in fair demand. The
market is quotably little easier at S7@7. 25
for bran and common shorts.
Corn--No change of any importance oc-
CURED in this market, ana there was no ma
erlal change in prices. Corn is scarce OH
the local market, quoted at 3l@33c. The
export movement continues good. With the
continued liberal clearanceS from American
ports, stocks abroad are kept quite low
showing that the low prices induces large
consumption.
Oats-The oats market continues quiet
with not much demand, and that only for
best grades. Quoted at 2U@2Sc for the vari-
Gus qualities
Barley-Dullness prevails. Choice barley
is scarce and common and medium grades
are not wanted. Quotations range from %
@45c.
Flax-Quoted at ST. 1912. Chicago, S1.55Ia.
Feed-Sl1.5 C@I2.5O.
