MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

The light receipts and active demand for
cash wheat was particularly strong feature
in the local markets. In spite of the talk of
wheat being too high to mill, there were buy
ers for all the good milling samples on sale,
and wheat that graded No. 1 northern,
though perhaps it was really No. hard, in
some cases sold at about 81. The latter fut-
ures in st. Louis, in New York and in Chi
cago sold down on the good outlook for the
growing winter wheat crop, while the in
quiry for everything that could be called in
before the new crop. was strong.
The early wheat market was as dull as yes
terday and there was hardls any inquiry for
futures, with nothing to speak OF offered.
Foreign markets were dull, with moderate
offerings. There was noticeable decline in
most markets for the deferred futures, while
the nearby months and cash held COM
puratively strong. July was offered during
bidders at 90Ac. There were some trades in
May in the way of settlement at S2c.
At special meeting of the directors of the
chamber of commerce held yesterday after
noon it was ordered that special meeting
of the chamber of commerce be held Wednes-
day. May %, between and l 80. to vote on
the following amendment to Rule 10, said
amendment being approved by the directors:
Section 4. On all contracts made after
new, can be delivered On contracts, unless
otherwise specified. CO "a
Sellers of sample wheat were asking an
other advance in price for everything that
graded above No. 3. Receipts are still below
100 cars daily, and the demand from millers
and others appears sufficiently strong to take
about all the l and 2 wheat Offering each
day. Buyers to-day were looking for grain
and the samples were all examined carefully,
but the higher price asked did not meet the
approval of millers. Quite number of
outside orders were in to be executed
but in nearly every case the limits were too
low to secure any wheat Prices on the mill
ing grades ranged from lie to &c above yes
terday's figures. Receipts for the dav were
80 cars, and 81 were shipped out. Duluth
