Chamber of Commerce.

The feeling in wheat circles was decidedly
unsettled yesterday, though the markets
showed some steadiness, but with little bust
ness at the start. AT IL O'Clock the trading
had been at 749s@74aic for December, sOA
@SUl2c for May. Gables were pretty steady
and the reported decrease on passage was
figured at $1,000 o bushels. Arrivals here
and at Duluth were 6!'4 cars. showing some
reduction since yesterday. The amount of
wheat in store in the country was estimased
wildly all the way from 6, 100, 900 bi shells to
10000 bushels by the different parties
figuring on it. Some elevator c. N DanieS
were reported to be thp piping less liuerally
from their interior houses, but the result
does not ahow i'll the movement yet. After
the noon hour there was more activity and
hrmneSs. but at narrow range.
Following are the closing quotations: No.
hard, October. 77c; December. 77l2c; May,
83c: on track, 77c: No. l northern, October,
74Hc: December, 75c; May, S0l2c; on track.

Receipts of wheat here for the twenty-four
hours were d cars and 100 were shipped
out against receipts posted the day before of
572 cars and shipments of sc. There was
steady tone 10 the cash wheat market after
the start, and sellers were enabled to sell
at the previous days prices. A large number
of sales we're made at Use, and some went at
7o14c, though bids from elevator companies
ranged around T4ls074s4c. The firmness in
Eastern markets helped the cash wheat some,
though it came too late for the general good.

equally divided as buyers. Duluth received
$50 cars, against 80 yesterday.
