MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce,

The market opened firm at II ear the
closing price of last night and advanced
1$lc during the morning. The advance
was caused by the covering of shorts,
due to temporary demand that was
soon over, when prices again fell Off,
losing nearly the early gain. The mar
kct in the fore part of the day was quite
unsettled, and later there was another
drop. There was talk of further
manipulation in both May and July, ana
the parties credited with working the
long side, both here and in Chicago,
were watched closely by ''tailers," who,
ran into pitfalls. They would
up than an unfavorable shadow
would cross their path and the load
taken up on mementary rise would be
as readily dropped. Trading covered a
wide range of values, for which there
was no other explanation than the un-
settled feeling of traders. There ap--
peared to be no clique efforts either TO
advance or depress prices. which drifted
as they were affected by whims of
operators.
Wheat opened with sales of July at
S915c and May nominally at S9c. Later,
as trading developed in both futures.
the spread of the two months was about
&c in favor of July. At 10 o'clock May
had gone up to 902Sc and July 9l4c.
The drift was then downward until,
July were reached. There was a good
demand for cash, but that feature wa2
lost sight of while watching blackboard
quotations. gat
The cash wheat market was firm and,
prices for the best grades covered "a
higher range than yesterday. There
was scarcely any hard wheat for sale.
and the two northern grades were in.
active demand. For the No. l northern
the prices were about a cent higher
and. Notwithstanding the decline In.
futures. prices for good milling wheat
did not weaken during the day. The
display on the sample tables was lighter
than usual and all the grain above No.
5 was picked up early, except when
buyers considered prices too high. Re-
eeiptS were 116 cars, and 20 We're

Dun's Trade Review.

NEW York, April 12.-R. &. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
There are distinct signs of improve
ment in business. Reports from inte-
rior points, almost without exception,
indicate an enlargement of the trade.
Rapid advances in sugar, coffee, cotton,
butter and oats are nearly balanced by
the decline in wheat and corn, pork
products, print cloths. leather and other
articles, so that the general average of
prices is but a shade higher than a
week ago. But further disbursements
! by the treasury have increased the al
ready abundant supply of money: the
market for securities has improved,
and exports continue to increase
The most significant feature of tine
week in commercial news was the re-
port of furnaces in blast April 1, which
shows weeklyOutput of anthracite and
bituminous iron only 657 tons less than
March l, and nearly $1,000 tons, or 36
per cent larger than year ago. The
Significant fact is, that with production
close to the largest ever known. prices
scarcely yield at all. These facts, in
connection with the narrow demand for
rails. indicate that the consumption of
iron in other fields must .be increasing.
The demand for sheet iron is fair, and
rails are fair at s27(9 27.50. though
sales are but 10000 tons. Nails
are frmer. and bar iron is
still irregular and low. Pig iron is
rather weaker, and some Southern is
offered below ST for No. /. while mill
iron ranges from S14.75 to $3.50. The
sharp advance of 3215c per 100 pounds
in raw sugar, with the purchase of the
San Francisco refinery for the trust, ac-
companies q sudden rise OF &c in the
trust stock. The boot and shoe trade is
said to be large beyond precedent.
Leather is shade lower. and hides are
overabundant. Raw cotton has risen a
quarter. In oil, lower prices caused a
decrease of 100000 in the value for
March, and the market has been dull
and weak. Woolen manufacturers and
dealers are excited by the news that
thereeently appointed appraiser at Phil
adelphia has advanced the duty on
worsted to correspond TO that on wool
ems, and some believe that similar rul-
ing will soon be made here and at other

LOCAL MARKETS.
St. Paul.

Wheat is On the down grade this time
and there is no telling when it will
stop. Present indications are that bed
rock is long way below. and that the
bears have the best of the game by a
good deal. The market was very weak
yesterday. Corn and oats continue
firm, with signs of an improvement, and
barley and rye are steady. There is
little or no change IN millstuffs, bran,
however, being shade weaker. Hay
is flat and with absolutely no inquiry.

In sympathy with the decline in all

in the May deal. Both June and July
were in demand at 1c premium over
May. The last hour was dull, with
nothing doing. The close was steady,
nomihaily 1c below outside prices and
unchanged from yesterdays closing.
