MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

Chamber of Commerce.
The feeling was bearish this morning,
and later quotations from New York
being lower. prices declined from the
opening. The flour markets continued
dull and the general demand poor.
Stocks of wheat in the Northwest are
small, and the tendency of the position
was TO crowd prices, while on the other
side quotations have for long time
been made on that basis, and the Stats
teal position has been fully considered.
Mills would not be able to run at even
moderate capacity, if flour sold easily,
for want of wheat to grind, but at the
does not sell easily.
There was some demand for wheat to
go to outside mills, and in some sections
such buyers are picking up car lots from
farmers and from small independent
buyers along the lines of roads in Min
nesota and Dakota. In the face of de-
Ginning markets, country prices have
been pushed up sc on some of the rail-
roads through the influence of the buy
ing demand for such country mills.
Most of the wheat now lying in houses
on the Southern Minnesota, Chicago &
Northwestern, Omaha and on the Min
neapOlis 81 st. Louis is sold for delivery
to country mills to be forwarded as they
need it.
The opening market on the May fut-
ure was weak at Csc and fell quickly to
973lc, with considerable for sale at that
and small demand. July was better
sustained and was in demand at about
&c above May. There was less of July
for sale than of May or September. The
latter was lower and offered freely at
Sic. The slow sale for samples affected
the demand for May unfavOrably. The
favorable crop weather was also a
weakening feature. There was prac-
tically no wheat marketing from farm
ers in the interior towns. The 1863 cars
of sample wheat received added to the
accumulationS of the past few days
that have not been sold made
fair showing for quantity on
the tables. The absence of option
trade had some effect on trading in
milling wheat. and the dizziness of the
past few days was intensified. Up to IL
o'clock but few cars had been sold.
and sellers were offering all kinds of
wheat in vain. Prices were lower with
out attracting buyers. Toward the last
sellers made large concessions to dis
pose of some lots, and others carried
their grain away. Shipments were So
cars. Duluth reported 5S cars OH track.
No. hard wheat sold until the close,
when S1.0S was the best price thatco
be obtained for it.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Market Record: Flour-The fol-
lowing mills were running to-
day: Pillsbury A and B, Phoenix,
Galaxy. Humboldt and st. Anthony.
The added daily capacity of the ten
mills grinding amounts to $4,000 bbls.
but the output for to-day will probably
not exceed 1850. There was quiet
demand, with inquiries mainly limited
to reduced prices. 1t is advertised that
cuts are made in order to dispose of the
production. Some mlllers are holding
their productions for the basis of 1918,
New York delivery, but the Market
Record has it OH good authority
that sales have been made of
good patents on the basis of $3.50.
and it is claimed that even lower
prices have been accepted. The mills
are running in an indifferent fashion.
and while some are turning out full
production, others are keeping close
ashore, their want of large faith in fut-
ure prospects preventing the piling up
of stocks.
