MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS
Chamber of Commerce.

lever in an advance, and, encouraged ny
rise of a cent in other places, the wheat mar
ket here rose abont Be. The expected sup
port at other points did not follow, and con-
fidence has been shaken. The feeling was
hesitating this morning, and, While there
were q few longs dropping a little wheat IN
expectation of a decline. the sellers seemed
afraid of the short side and jumped In to
cover on any sign OF temporary advance.
Efforts to sell this market down have not
usually resulted favorably, and it has been
lief t to drift down or up in the natural cur
rent.
July wheat was first offered at 95s4c and
fell to 95lhc. then to S5ssc, with buyers at
S54c and rose to S51ac with moderate trading
during the first thirty minutes. That seemed
about the top for the time with business
ranging at s5ss@s55sc. Large receipts and
better farm movement were the local pear
ish features, with sustaining influence In
dry weather in the north, bringing reports OF
suffering of wheat whose roots were exposed
at New York, St Louis. and Lake Michigan
were pretty well held and brought some con-
fidence here. Later there was more demand,
and July was bid up with other futures fol-
lowing with some fluctuations.
There was much lighter inquiry for mill
ing wheat during the first half of the session,
though sellers were holding their wheat at
yesterdays selling prices. AS result there
was less trading, there being but few scat
tering sales up to IL o'clock. The average
quality of offerings showed some improve
ment over the past few days, and it was no
ticed that large majority OF the wheat for
sale was from the Manitoba road: With the
exception Of one or two loo al mlllers ana a
Winona milling company, there appeared to
be no one buying. Receipts We're 176 cars.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
today: Pillsbury A and b, Phoenix, Anchor,
Washburn B and c., Petit Minneapolis,
Northwestern, Humboldt, Crown Roller and
Galaxy. The added daily capacity OF the
thrice mills grinding amounts to %, 200
bbls, but the output for to-day will probably
not exceed $4,000. The flour prices, as a
rule, were fairly supported, with no activity
in the demand. due to the restricted area OF
the spring wheat distribution. Reports from
all districts seem to assert that no large buy
Ing need be looked for on the remainder OF
this crop. Dealers will take supplies for cur
rent use, but there is no reason to suppose
they will lay aside large stocks of old -four,
along well into the new crop year il
there is prospect of q crop of fine
quality. While the current output is
small, sales have no more than equaled it,
