MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS
Chamber of Commerce.

Receipts of wheat were slightly in excess
of yesterday, and with the fine weather and
larger expected movement the earlier feeling
was little easier in prices. The September
option was the feature there has been most
trading in, and was again in most favor with
range of 74s4@75c this morning. There
was very little preference in bids for August
above September, while December was about
lac the easier option; october sold at 7512c.
There was some disappointment on the part
of the bears with the small receipts which
was usually attributed to the storms Of the
first of the week. Cables were quoted steady,
and some private ones said the market was
firmer. with harvest in England delayed by
storms. Four loads were reported taken in
New York for export.

ceipts stimulated buying little, but the
blackboard showed a gain once more. All

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
yesterday: Phoenix, Minneapolis, Anchor.
Northwestern, st. Anthony, Pillsbury A and
B. Columbia, Galaxy, Washburn and B,
Humboldt and Excelsior
The added daily output of the thirteen
mills grinding Yesterday will probably ag-
gregate IS $50 bbls.
The declines in prices of flour have in
some instances led TO more active buying in
this country, and to more frequent inquiries
for patents from abroad. There have been
some fair sales of patents within few days
to go 10 the United Kingdom. and The princi
pal obstacle to such exports now is high
rates of ocean freight. With the rate ques-
ton out of the way there seems no reason
why the surplus may not go abroad and so
eliminate stagnant trade that is so often
caused by plethora of stocks during dull sea-
sons.
