MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber Of Commerce.

The grain markets have been dominated
for some time by little cliques of room trad
ers. That has been so in Minneapolis, and it
has been so in New York according to re-
ports. While Chicago scalping is larger, and
for that reason harder to control, it too mas
responded to the whims of the little knots
that for some time gained control. Wheat
moves up one day in one town while it is
barely steady in another. The public has
not come in yet and probably will not for
few weeks more. But when the uncertain
ties of the crop yield are disposed of each
specializing member of it may be counted on
to assert his opinion in a practical way.
Until then the market promises no more
than scalping deal in the region of soc for
new crop futures.
Private cables were less strong than public,
and reported harvesting to be progressing
well in England, with prospects of better
ported weather in England unfavorable, with
Liverpool 34d dearer. There were heavy
rains in Kansas since yesterday morning.
In the Northwest the weather was generally
fair and favorable for harvesting where be.

later eased off little. Cables that came in

The light receipts of wheat here stimulated
sellers into asking higher prices for their Of
ferings on the sample tables, but it failed to
frighten buyers into any greater activity
And the attempt to advance the price of mill
ing wheat generally was failure except for
No. northern. The difference in prices
between l and 2 wheat led buyers to pay
more attention to No. 2. and prices for this
ruled firmer. some sales being made at soc.
The large quantity of elevator wheat offered
on the tables daily keep the market from ad-

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
yesterday: Pillsbury A, Phenlx Humboldt.
Petit, Minneapolis, Palisade, Galaxy, Ex-
eelsior, Washburn A, B and C. Cataract,
Columbia, Crown Roller and Northwestern.
The added daily output of the fifteen mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
81 $50 bbls The sale of -four is being
pushed as much as possible and not break
values. While the flour is not under control.
the wheat from which spring patents are
made is, which indirectly limits the price OF
it. There is unquestionably enough to last
through the time till after Sept. l. when new
wheat will do to begin on. Stocks left over
will probably be light both of wheat and
-four. so that the necessary decline in value
of that will be too small, in the total, to
induce the probable holders of it then to
begin to cut now. The days movement was
fair at steady prices. Patents, sacks to local
dealers, $5.45@5 IS; patents to ship, sacks,
car lots, $4,000 40; in barrels, $3.50
5.65; delivered at New England points,
$6;25@6; 40; New York points, So 15@6.3O;
Sc. 1905. 25; bakers here, .S3.5O04.15; SUI
perfine, $1.90@2.65; red dog, sacks. $1.3O
@1.5O: red dog. barrels. Sl.5O01 So.

and steady, with no change to mention. Quo
tations: Bran, $707.50; shorts, $500
$3.50.
Corn-Was steady with little firmer tone
noticeable, though quotations are unchanged.
Consignments are coming in.which are made
at low prices and sold at previous figures.

ter. and the market quiet at 23@27c for fair
to good.

less.
