market owing to big sales reported from st.
Louis. and that Hutchinson was again figur-
ing i'll the Chicago market AT 81 -O4l4 there
was one 5,O0O-bu lot of May wheat sold at
the opening. from which price the demand
rushed values up very rapidly. There has
been more or less of mystery coupled with
conditions here. One member of what is
supposed to be Minneapolis combination
said that wheat is pegged here in Minneapo-
lis at just &c above Chicago prices, no mat
ter whether it tends higher or lower. 1t IS
claimed that is the part the Minneapolis end
of the deal is 10 play in the alleged combina-
ton with Chicago. In confirmation of it one
broker was buying at any time when 1t was
offered tic above last Chicego quotations and
selling whenever there were bids at 6lsc
above last Chicago quotations. In that way
he appeared to keep pretty well evened up
What the resources are back OF the alleged
pegging operation is not known, but so far
for the last two days the operation has held
the boards pretty steadily and any efforts
made by others to change it have met with
no success. few millers are alleged to be
back of it, and as the wheat is all drifting
that way the old fear that there will be no
wheat to fill May sales checks the selling
movement of few days ago. New York be-
gan to export on the break, but as an advance
has been secured there, the outlet is
choked again. The opening sale OF
may WuGdt WAS at Sl-'tA, til0 HcAt
at ST. .O4l2, then at s4c, and next at LOS.
The rise was quite steady until $1.O5l2 was
reached, after which there was break to
S1.051s, followed by rise to S1.O55s at
1890 o'clock. Trading was not active at
any time during the principal part of the
session The receipts were less, but did not
influence the prices of futures, as these ar
rivals are simply the transferring of wheat
from country elevators. Arrivals in the
country houses were very light and thought

Some sales of sample wheat weremade at an
advance over yesterday, but on the whole the
market was too dull to distinguish any
change. Receipts were 1O4 cars and 81 were
shipped out Offerings on the sample table
were fair i'll quality and quantity but there
was not enough demand from any source TO
clear away half the grain for sale. Some
holders claimed to be asking the same price
az yesterday without being able to sell the
wheat Up to IL o'clock but few sales had
been made, and those by two or three firms.
Scarcely local miller was buying. Some
burnt wheat is being offered on the sample

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-FeWer sales of flour have been
made during the latter half of the week than
earlier The rise and fall in the amounts
sold depends upon wheat prices. When the
latter rise, than sales are larger, as the mill
e1s are holding for pretty steady figures,
whether wheat advances or not. The water
is very low and mills depending upon it are
not able to do heavy work, SO that to run at
half capacity is for. such no hardship. 1t
seems to be only such trade in this country
