MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

There was an easier wheat market at the
start this morning and for some time the
weak and a fraction under the closing of
yesterday and western markets mostly
quoted small declines. There appeared TO
DE no common desire to operate extensively,
though there were small orders to be exc
cuted most of the time. The large arrivals
OF wheat that continue to come in here are
not favorable to advances. though shipments
were full and there was rather large de-
mand from the outside to-day. From the
opening TO near the noon hour the fluctua-
lions did not exceed l2c and bushes was eX-
ceedlngly small.
The opening price of May wheat was at
&c, July So34c. against close yesterday of
SIl2c Nav, SO July Prices Weakened a
traction later with business at S6l2c May
sol2c July with small trading. There was
no news worth mentioning to affect values
and the fluctuations were dependent upon
small and mainly personal causes. London
1yices were strong and later New York quo
tatious were higher, giving better tone and
more firmness here. AT II o'clock May
remained nominal with July at S5S4c.
Some of the buyers of sample wheat
claimed that prices were advanced. while
most sellers could distinguish no difference
in prices. The heavy receipts filled the tables
up pretty we'll, though good share of it
went direct TO mills without appearing on
change at all, There was fair inquiry for
the best grades of milling wheat from both
local and outside millers, and at current
quotations. or at most, a fraction below. All
the No. l hard and No northern offering
could probably have been disposed of but
sellers were firm in asking prices. Buyers
were looking for choice No. northern, and
but little was displayed. Receipts were 224
ears and shipments were is ears Duluth
reported no receipts. Low grades were dull
and plling up in receivers possession.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
to-day: Pillsbury A and B, Phoenix, Anchor,
Washburn B and c, Petit Minneapolis
Columbia, Standard and Humboldt. The
added daily capacity of the eleven mills
grinding amounts to %, 800 barrels, but the
output for to-day will probably not exceed
1880. The market was quiet with some
local millers reporting better demand,
while others noted no practical alteration
though it was the general sentiment that the
large flour buyers, as well as those usually
taking smaller quantities, are comparatively
bare of stocks. 1t is generally believed that
when confidence is restored -four will be alb
sorbed rapidly. There are millers carving
the larger stocks of flour who assert their
stocks have been quite materially reduced
during April, They insist that with steady
wheat markets the current supply will not be
burdensome and that an increased output
may be necessary to meet the requirements
