MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce..

There was some life to trading to-day, and
now that old crop futures are out of the way
better business is looked for The early trad
ing was at 7e1s@7she September, and 79l7c
December. The tendency was to widen the
difference between the two, September drop
ping to 7Sc with December sustained at
7912c. Cables were dull and business was re-
ported dull in American markets. The
weather was mostly favorable for harvest all
around with few local rains in the North
west There was no wheat delivered on
August contracts. There was reported buy
ing by millers in New York, and yesterday
they took 25 loads, mostly old wheat There
was pretty good demand for cash old wheat
from lake ports, all of which strengthened
the feeling with respect to future values.
Following are the closing quotations: No.
l hard August 97c; on track, CSC; No. 1
northern August, 90c: September Tec; De-
cember, 79l2c: on track. 90Qi92c; No. 2
northern August s2c; on track, 920S4e.
There was no demand for No. northern
wheat from the sample tables in the morn
ing, and while a little No. l hard sold at
S1.0l there was scarcely any inquiry for that
grade either. Low grades, when unmixed,
were picked up fairly well by local millers,
but there was little taken to go out Traders
claim that the great difference between the
grades in prices must be reduced and the
trade to-day seems to indicate as much.
Receipts were 95 cars for the day, and 43
were shipped. Duluth received 70 cars

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
yesterday; Pillsbury A. Phoenix, Humboldt
Petit, Minneapolis. Galaxy, Columbia, Pals
ade. Crown Roller. st. Anthony, Washburn
A, B and C, Cataract. Excelsior and North
western The added daily output of the
sixteen mills grinding yesterday will prob
ably aggregate 81, 425 bbls. The general
feeling in the market was less firm, though
prices were pretty we'll held. Prices OF old
crop wheat have eased off a little, and in a
few weeks perhaps will be little above the
view of the probable reduction in the cost,
holders of -four are pushing it along to con-
sumers as rapidly as they can without
causing a collapse in the markets. The
general stocks are small, and because
of it there is less hurry to sell out tending to
slower fall in values. While there is sup
ply of wheat really obtainaDle If it were not
held too high, to keep all local mills rum
ming, the figures put upon it are such as to
