MINNEAPOLIS.
Chamber of Commerce.

The market Tor futures opened A@ssc
higher to-day with trading in May wheat at
81. Ia, but there was no enthusiasm with
buyers, and good offerings forced prices
steadily held until near IL O'Clock when a
break occurred, and the market quickly de-
clined 1c to $1.lO May. Dealings in other
grades and futures were few. and quotations
was cause OF weakness in futures, though
the upper grades of cash sold nearly up to
May. Trading at the close was very dull in
both cash and futures at a fraction above the
lowest lowe prices Of Of, the day. 1o,oo0 ooo o1

There was very little trading in sample
wheat up to ~ o'clock, and but few sales
had been made. The demand remains at q
merely nominal point, buyers seeming to
take the stuff only for the sake of securing
special bargains and not because the grain
is wanted for use. Some few lots were taken
for Wisconsin points, and Milwaukee was
perhaps taking as much wheat off the sam
pie tables as local milers. Prices were weak
and generally lower than yesterday, though
sellers held Mt the same in the early part of
the day. Receipts were 81 cars, and 62 were
shipped out. Duluth reported no cars
received. Car lot sales by sample:

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-Market Record: The movement
was of broken assortment order, reaching
from one car to three cars or something like
it in each sale. Country mills are about all
closed and not more than half the city mill
ing capacity is running. There has been no
concerted movement for closing here, but
without it it is not expected that more than
half capacity will operate for the winter.

nominal. Patents. sacks to local dealers,
