MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber Of Commerce.
Wheat opened easier and about &c
lower, and declined about 1c later. The
decline was based on good crop reports
In the winter wheat country and favor
able news from spring wheat seeding.
Cables were strong and quoted wheat
higher, but, being so much below rela-
tive prices here. had no effect. When
the May future got down to the bottom
there was developed demand from
millers that took all offered at $3.50
May, a rise of about &c from the bot
tom. The order to broker to buy at
that price was claimed to be sustain
ing order and further efforts to break
below it were abandoned.
The receipts continued full but all
came from country elevators, rs there is
no marketing now to speak Of in the
country. There is good deal of No.
northern wheat in store here now reach
ing nearly 100000 blu. There was
some of it for sale to-day, and the offers
being rather more liberal the spread
between it and No. northern widened
to 10Ac. The quality of fresh arrivals
is better, and to-day of the 125 cars in
Spected only So of them were below No,
2: 1t is evident that what has been
claimed for it is true, that the elevator
companies held back the better classes
to meet possible manipulation. A great
deal of No. northern could be manu-
featured if needed by mixing No. 1
hard with No. 2.
The May future opened with 971Sc
bid, but soon fell to $500, and later to
$500, with quite large sales at the bot
tom. There were few fluctuations,
though quite large sales were made at
96slc, after sales at 9615c. Later the
feeling was weak and prices fell back.
July was dull, at &c above May. Sales
of No. 2 northern May were made at
$3.50, though it was not in much de-
mand, and to effect large sales less than
that would have been necessary. There
was little demand for hard at the differ
ence in price between it and No.
northern.
Following are the closing quotations:
The sample tables were not very
one complained of scarcity, and buy
ers were offered ample quantities from
which to make selections. The fine
weather and rather liberal receipts of
wheat at other points, added to the linn
tied demand served to depress the mar
ket more than the weakness i'm the Nav
option. There was little buying by
outside millers, and one or two local
millerS were picking up occasional lots
of grade wheat. Prices on all grades
ranged from to SC lower, and for low
grades there was no improve
ment in the demand. Receipts
were 165 cars, and 46 were
shipped out. Duluth received 10 cars.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Market Record: Flour-The fol-
lowing mills were running to-
day: Pillsbury A and B, Phoenix,
Anchor, Washburn B and C, Petit,
Galaxy, Humboldt and Crown Roller.
The added daily capacity of the ten
mills grinding amounts to 10000 bbls,
but the output for to-day will probably
not exceed 16,4S0. There is a fair for
eign demand for flour. but one that is so
far below American pretenses it be-
comes almost ridiculous by comparison.
The talk of delivering best Minneapo-
lis bakers in the United Kingdom at
at 25@26s, that the Market Record is
authority for saying Is done, seems
holders of wheat in this country. Yet
it is claimed there is no more wheat
in the Northwest than will work off at
the figures asked, and there is good
evidence to help support the claim.
