MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.

The wheat movement was unsettled and
tending to easier prices. Receipts were
larger, and elevator companies reported more
wheat moving in the country Neither move
increase with large receipts in short
time. The cash offerings were sufficient for
all wants at even lower prices. That gave
encouragement to sellers Of futures. and
after the early trading they offered lower,
forcingthe September markell: down. from75 Ac
to 74tsc before IL o'clock. with December
about nc. There was buying reported from
New York for South America and little for
the United Kingdom. Cables were weak, and
helped materially in weakening prices. The
general wheat movement does not materially
increase, and the general cash demand is re-
ported good. which fact greatly benefits the
market for futures.

ments %, against receipts yesterday of 159

out by holding their grain at previous prices,
but buyers held off for reductions. One or
two outside buyers who have been taking
some every day took nothing today nor yes
ter6ay. Several local buyers wanted wheat,
but purposely held off until the last thing.
A few who always want the first pick of the
samples early loaded up at about yesterdays
figures but the bulk of the grain went at
decline ranging up TO lac. Duluth received
81 cars.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAIN.
Flour-The following mills we're running
yesterday: Phoenix, Washburn A and B,
bury A and B, Petit, Holly. Crown Roller,
Columbia. Humboldt and Palisade. The
added daily output of the fourteen mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
29,625 bbls. Flour was moving steadily, but
with less Interest manifested by dealers, ow
ing to yesterdays quietness in the wheat
market. A great many people have small
confidence in the Vienna report, and the fact
that importing countries pay so little atten-
tion to it as to let their prices of -four slide
down upon the heels of it. shakes the conf
dence Of spectators. Higher ocean freights
higher wheat cost and lower bids from abroad
have seriously impaired the chances of doing
much export business for the time With
the movement of -four left again to the do
nestle demand further dullness is probable
