MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.

chamber OF Commerce.
There was little inclination after a
lower opening to favor some advance.
1t was not that prices are thought low.
but that the situation shows less than
the usual amount of wheat now avail
able through the producing sections.
st. Louis reported very little No.
wheat back in the hands of farmers
tributary to that point. with quite large
decrease in the stocks there during the
past week, and 10000 bu more to be
loaded for shipment to Galveston. 1t
was the general opinion that with any
thing like the activity in milling of for
mer years. milling stocks would be ex-
hauSted long before the new crop would
be fit for grinding. On the other hand,
the high comparative prices, it is be-
lieved, will cause wheat producers Ito
sweep their bins and sell closer than
usual, while flour buyers, in anticipa-
ton of a break in flour prices, will. it is
claimed, carry over the smallest posi-
bic stocks. There was some early trad
ing in May wheat without any activity
in the demand.
May wheat opened at CSC and sold up
to 9o12c, with quotations mostly be-
tween 9S1lc and 9S1ac. July was about
&c above May, ana moved up and
down with May at that difference.
There was but little done in Septem-
Der. which ranged from s2@s214c. The
inspection for tO-mOrrOw'S report shows
% cars hard, ST cars No. northern, IS
cars No. 2. with 81 cars No. 2 rejected,
IL cars and Is cars no grade. There
were $50 cars waiting to be unloaded
this morning. Farmers are busy seed
ing, and but little wheat selling at
country stations. =
The liberal receipts of sample wheat,
added TO that held over, filled the tables
to overfowing again. There was
scarcely any demand from any source.
though few lots were being picked
up when Of suitable quality, but only
small portion of the amount offered
was dispose of. Receipts for the two
days were 239 cars, shipments were Is
cars. Local stocks in elevators de-
creased 30,410 bu for the week, while
Duluth increased 1928 bu The
weekly decrease in the visible supply
was S27, 600 bu as compared with de-
crease of 1854, 1862 but for the same
week last year.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were run
ming this morning: Pillsbury A and B,
Phoenix. Anchor, Petit and Galaxy.
The WaShburn mills started later in the
day.
The added daily capacity of the six
mills grinding amounts to 1860 bbls.
All the mills grinding will probably
turn out about 1900 bbls to-day.
The market was quiet with steady
movement. but with movement too
slow to move out as much as the mills
have capacity to grind. There was
something like entire freedom in prices
quoted by the different millers, though
there was probably little cutting under
quotations. as they could not afford it.
But each made prices almost Independ-
ent of the others. This was known to
the buyers whose inquiries showed some
skirmishing by them for profitable re-
suits.
pPatents, sacks to local dealers, sea

at New England points, Sc. 75(06.S5:

GO: bakers here, S404.75; superfine.
S2@3.50: red dog, sacks, S1.35@1.5O; red
dog, barrels. Sl.60@1.70.
Bran and Shorts-A dull and weak
feeling exists in the mllstutfs market
and prices generally lower and irregu-
lar owing to the difference in quality.
Quoted $7.25@7.75 for bran. Common
shorts 25c lower.
Corn is steady with but little Offering.
From 30@32c is obtained for ungraded
and No. for shipping out. There is a
considerable falling off in the move
ment of corn at all points. 1t is hard to
say whether this is cansed by farmers
being busy with spring work or their
Discrimination to sell at present low
prices.
Oats are not in much demand. Quo
tatiGnS range from 20(G2Sc accord ing to
quality. Receipts are fair.
Barley-The trade is of dragging
order, with not enough demand to move
the small supply. QuOtable at 25(04Oc
for from fair to bright unstained.
Hay-The hay market dull at S3(0
$50 for wild, S5.50(07 for timothy.
Flax quoted at STAG: Chicago, S1.52.
Feed-S11@12.
