MIN NEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

Steadiness was about the best that could be
said of cable news. French markets were
called quiet with Liverpool firm for spot
wheat, and nothing offering on coast and on
firmness with partially rainy weather in
England. Weather reports this side showed
showers in some sections of the West,
while it was clear in Illinois, Wisconsin,
Missouri and partly cloudy in the Northwest.
There were heavy receipts at winter prim-
airy points AS com pared with last year
there are at all primary points winter and
spring, 704, 600 for the five days this week
against 36l 900 for the six days of the cor
responding week last year.
The market opened quiet at about closing
prices of yesterday with September at 7814c
and December quoted at 79l2c. The figures
were not long sustained. and moderate
offerings met SO little request that prices
feel easily to TIC September and 7S12c
December. If orders to sell had been
positive on the lots offered, there would
evidently have been still lower quotations.
August was offered at 79c. The weakness was
due to dull demand for cash wheat Of the
contract grade, and to weakness in futures at
other points. Cables closed firmer, but that
had no appreciate effect on local markets.
Following are the closing quotations: No.
i hard, cash, 9Se; on track, 9Sc; No. north
ern, cash, SIC; August. 76ci December,
cash, Sic; Oh track, S2-4c.
There was but little inquiry for cash wheat
at the opening, and during the first half OF
the session the sales aggregated but few
cars mostly to local millers. There were
few outside millers i'll the market, but they
were not in the buying mood. and even re-
duced prices did not tempt them. The light
local receipts posted ON the board had no
elevators has not yet been exhausted. Some
local millers were picking up few cars of

sumption. Receipts were AT cars. and 81

Petit, Minneapolis. Galaxy, Columbia, Pail

western. The added daily output of the six
teen milts grinding yesterday will probably
aggrega tet2l ,4o5 bbls. Flour buyers were
not active, taking enough to meet urgent de-
lower prices. and, with that idea before them,
bought with an eye to it, They have now
pieced out SO long they are in no frame of
mind to buy with any liberality on what they
break of 25@50c a barrel. The break
may never come, but the fact that they
are looking for it remains, and they are
sturdily working in harmony with their i'm
pressions, and ordering prompt shipment.
