Chamber of Commerce.

Wheat was freely offered for future de
livery, with some fair sales OF September at
76I5c. with December ranging 1GDli2c above
it, and August about 112@2c above Septem-
Der. The demand was limited, however.
with considerable of the offerings not taken.
Cables were dull, with buyers ana sellers
apart and small business. New York closed
early with lee decline in the near futures,
the latter holding up rather better.
The Lake Michigan markets were oil very
dull, and ran through the day with small
fluctuations and little business. Receipts
continued large in the winter wheat dis
trictS. but small of spring anywhere. Bust
ness was expected to improve in volume
next week.
Following are the closing quotations: No.

Offerings on the sample tables were light
in the first part of the session, but as soon as
the trading fairly began there was enough
No. northern offered to dispel any fears Of
a scarcity Sellers were rather anxious to
dispose of the No. wheat, but for the other
grades there was fair inquiry, some report
ing it better than yesterday. Not northern

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
yesterday: Pillsbury A. Phoenix, Humboldt,
Petit Minneapolis. Galaxy, Columbia, Pail
SADIE, Holly, St Anthony, Washburn A, b an; and
C. Cataract, Excelsior and Northwestern. The
added daily output of the sixteen mills grind.
ing yesterday will probably aggregate 1880
bbls. As wheat gets cheaper the local flour
production increases for manufacturers are
getting their wheat nearer TO the level OF
winter wheat prices There is desire to
hold up the flour market as well as possible
and sell the production. With little lower
priced wheat, shipments of high grades to
Europe may be resumed, when the chan
nels of trade in this country will be better pro-
tected against glut of patents. This is the
season for good demand, and it is little
larger, but buyers are waiting for the long
looked-for decline The distribution OF pat
ents was fair for the day. Patents, sacks to
