MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Cbamber of Commences.

morning feeling weak and bid for it at lower
prices. The shorts were willing to see the
market decline, but did little to help their
convictions. Cables at best were barely
steady, with dullness reported in -four ex-
ports, though there were more inquiries for
it. Heavy rains fell yesterday in most of
North Dakota and Northern Minnesota,
where considerable wheat is still in shock.
OF course the rain where heavy wet through
most of it yet standing in the field. The
probable effect was variously estimated. All
agreed that marketing would be delayed and
some held that there would be an average re-
duction in quality of half a grade. Others
thought the result would not be serious.
The early market was on the basis of about
76l2c for December, with prices up to 767sc
before IL O'Clock. The day dragged in a
general way for futures as well as for spot
wheat

Receipts for the day were 800 cars and go
were shipped, against 26l received yesterday
and So shipped. Sellers began to ask yester-
days prices for sample wheat of the best
qualities. and the most of early sales were
mace at that. Eastern markets gave some
evidence of recovering the recent drop: SELL
ers of cash wheat were encouraged, though
the demand was light all the morning. and
prospects were favorable for carrying con-
siderable wheat over Sunday. Receipts at
Duluth were 10 cars.
