MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of COmmerce.

Inere were light rains during the last "a
hours in several points of the Northwest. but
few of them amounted to much. Samples Of
the growing wheat was exhibited in the eX
change room from Southern Minnesota that
looked well. That nearing the ripeniug stage
was heavy in the head and filled out to the
tip with healthy kernels There we're reports
of showery weather in the winter wheat dis
tricts that it was said might retard harvesting
and perhaps the early marketing of it. Some
of the heavy Chicago shorts it was told COW
cred this morning making the bulge there
New York cables came in steadier than
looked for this morning and the closing was
quiet and unchanged. New York reported
no important bids on wheat from abroad
There was some inquiry, but too low to work.
There were six loads of corn reported taken
there for shipment. Wheat opened in the
local market at 99c, and fell to 977sc for
July. September was 79c early, and then
rose to 79l2c, with December at 79I2G7934c
There was some BUSINESS in most of the
different months, but neither promises &C.
tivity until July is better rounded up. A
cable to-day direct from Odessa said the Rus
sian crop is worse than had been reported
After the upward reaction there did not seem
to be much demand on it.
Following are the closing quotations: No
l hard. July, ST. 4; on track, S1.O5; No. l
northern, Csc; August, 79l2c; on track, $50
99c; No. 2 northern, July, S5c; on track,
S57sc.
1t was a very difficult matter to wheat dur
ing the first part of the session, and millers
would scarcely look at the display on the
sample tables. Liberal receipts added to the
amount carried over was the principal bear
ish feat ure. and the apathy of millers assist
ed in keeping the market down. The early
frmness in speculative markets was an en-
couraging feature, but subsequent weakness
again depressed the market. Sellers begun
by asking Yesterdays closing prices, but
could not get them, though early sales were
the best for the day. Receipts were 205 cars,
and SO were shipped. One car arrived at

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
yesterday: Pillsbury A, Phoenix, Humboldt
Petit, Minneapolis Palisade, Holly, St. An
thony, Washburn B and C, Galaxy, Cataract
and Northwestern. The added daily output
of the thirteen mills grinding yesterday will
probably aggregate 16, $50 bbls. There have
been some large flour sales recently. They
have not been we'll distributed, however, and
it is noticeable that the larger holders have
been by far the larger sellers. In fact. some
of the millars with moderate stocks, and who
have depended OIL doing, business under
close rein, have, for the last few days, sold
very little flour. On the other hand, millers
with stocks at many distributing points have
done the business. Their stocks are always
convenient to buyers, and the latter, lacking
confidence in the future of prices, buy from
whom they can get the quickest service of de-
livery. Contracts for late deliveries of old
crop flonr are on less liberal scale, in the
amount of them than usual in late years, due
partly to the high figures set on them and
characteristics of the old crop wheat. Patents,
