MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber ofCommarce.


Chamber of Commerce.
If the ground had contained sufficient
moisture at the beginning of the late fine
weather nothing could have been better for
the crop than such conditions. In most of
Minnesota and portions of Dakota there
was a fair amount of moisture, and there
the crops are reported to have improved re-
markably. In the dryer portions where the
heads were short and the stand thin, good
weather could do no more than fill out with
sound kernals the few there were. 1t is no
tceable the bulls have dropped the notion
that present prices are reasonable by virtue
OF small crop expectations, but urge that
values are legitimate because there is pres
ent demand for flour, and all the wheat there
is left Is needed to make it, with active COM
petition for the wheat.
The weather was generally called favorable
with fair showers in the Northwest. Cables
were firmer and wheat held higher, and -four
was frmer with weather in England stormy.
Private cables referred to big shipments OF
wheat from India. Shipments were large
from St Louis. but mainly said to be for out
side mills and for export. The visible sup
ply decreased SIG, 900 blu, against decrease
for the same weak last year Of 737, 97S Blu,
while two years ago there was an increase OF
6O4 ,474 bu for the same week.
The market was weak from the start, with
July nominal at 96c. September 79l2c, De-
cember SOl9c. The market declined l2c
about noon, with September at 79c and De-
ccmber SOC There were few orders for
each, but transactions light. There ap.
peared to be no inquiry to speak of for July
Fluctuations later were4small, and business
light
Following are the closing quotations: No.

July, S2c; on track, S3@SSc.
Receipts of wheat here for the two days
were 1T cars, and SIS were shipped out. The
display on the tables was moderate, and sell
ers attempted at first to get an advance on
Saturdays prices, but buyers held Off and re-
fused to touch the grain. Buying was dull
at first, but later when sellers offered some
concessions there was little trade. A few
outside millers were in, and the local contin-
gent picked up few bargains at about Sat
urday's figures. The decrease for the week
in local elevator stocks was 151, 622 blu.
Duluth received 8 cBrs over Sunday.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
yesterday: Pillsbury A, Phoenix, Humboldt.
Petit, Minneapolis, Palisade, Galaxy, Ex-
added daily output of the ten mills grinding
to-day will probably aggregate ~, 100 bbls.
The flour market was still in good form with
pretty good demand at current figures: None
of the buyers are loading heavily with the
present high priced article, and mlllers are
disposed to hold over as little of it as posi-
BILE and at the same time keep enough on
hand, well distributed, to accommodate their
shipment, while low grades and bakers
are taken abroad for future delivery
at about 24s, laid down in the United King
dom. Patents, sacks to local dealers 50. IS

Bran and Shorts-A fair demand existed,
and the market ruled steady and firm quoted
at S707.50 for bran, and $7.5C@9.50 for
shorts.
Corn-There were no new features in the
market. Steady, with fair degree of firm
ness. The demand is mostly on local &C.
count and small. The supply and receipts
continue light. Quoted at 33@35c.
Oats-The market continues dull and neg
lected. Crop news favors large yield. The
crop has ripened very fast within the past
week, and in some sections harvesting is al
ready under way. Quoted, fair to good,
25@Z7c.
Hay-The demand was moderate, and
quiet, steady feeling prevailed. Trade is en-
tirely local, and choice new was in fair re-
quest. Old neglected, except very choice.
Quoted S5@S
Barey-Nominal.
