MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.


Cables reported an improving demand for
wheat at the coast and on passage, with
showery weather in England. The weather
in this country was generally clear west of the
Mississippi with clearing indications east Of
the river. There were light rains in Ohio,
Michigan aud Pennsylvania. St. Louis was
reported selling heavily in Chicago, caused.
as it was claimed, by heavy movement of
New wheat in. the Southwest. The wheat
markets generally opened unsettled, without
important features, firm at the first start, but
weaker later in the day. There was consid-
cradle cash wheat offered, but not pressed,
for sale in such way as to crowd down
prices. There was nothing to speak of done
IN futures, with July nominal at about 96c
most of the session, and August, SIC; Sep
TENDER, SOC and December, Sic.

Early i'll the day there was pretty active
demand for good milling wheat by a few
local millers, who were abroad at the first
peep O. the market. A hasty survey Of the
milling wheat and convinced buyers that
prices would not be lower, while they might
advance with any increase in the demand.
The presence of few buyers from outside
points stimulated buying a little, but the
combined demand of all millers did not
aggregate as much as usual, and, after most
of the best wheat was secured, buyers did
not seize upon the low grades with much ac-
tivity. Receipts were ISL cars, ana 20 were
shipped. Local elevator stocks are expected
to decrease $4,000 blu for the week.

gate q. $50 bbls There was pretty good
demand reported for bakers grades of -four
to export at about 24s The trouble with
millers was 10 sell their patents high enough
to cover the cost of raw material and grind
ported in almost unlimited quantities, if the
patents could be sold for domestic use at
prices asked. But as winter wheat is now
offering so much below spring the demand
for spring is only to satisfy a consumptive
demand that uses it without regrrd to COM
parative cost. Few Of the mills have
demand enough to keep them steadily grind

oats-Dullness and inactivity prevail.
Tracing is limited to a light local demand.
Fair to good quoted at 23@27c.

No demand for old except very choice. Poor
lots dull and neglected. Quoted from S. to So.

still prevails. Market about nominal.
