MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commences.


down. The opening here was 1ac lower
than yesterdays close, and under fair
offerings the market worked downward
| The support given yesterday was with
| drawn to-day, and prices were left to
| drift as orders and local scalping car
ried them. Before IL o'clock sales were
made Sc below the opening price. Bust
| ness was in smaller lots, and the buying
principally by shorts covering previous
| sales.
| The weather was again bright and
| promising for early planting, for which
farmers are preparing in every direc-
| ton. The present weather continuing,
considerable seed will go in the ground
| the latter days of the week, and large
| breadth will be in the ground the week
following. Such conditions, added to
the bearish influences of the govern
ment crop report and the good promise
of winter wheat, overcame all bullish
| talk during the early hours. Chicago
reported considerable long wheat COM
ing On the market there that many
thought was the property of the FAIR
bank clique, breaking that market from
99c last night to 95c at 1O:45 O'Clock to-
day.
The feeling was weak from the first
in May wheat. Bidding began at SSssc,
but the first sale was at 994c. Prices
| W re quoted lower from oiher places
and continued to drop here. During
the first thirty minutes May broke PC
and later went &c more to $500 at near
IL o'clock. That was the low point
| of the morning. rallying from it to 9753sc
during the next hour. Later there was
| another break and quotations touched
955Sc before o'clock, with great weak
ness all around. The wants of millers
were very few in the morning, land when
the break in prices of futures came, the
few who were intending to pick up
little cash wheat concluded to wait and
see if the market was going completely
ment in the flour market had
but little effect on the de-
mand for wheat to grind. Sellers
were offering all grades at lower prices
| and up to IL o'clock the few sales re-
ported were made at from 2 to Sc below
| yesterdays figures. Some No. l hard
sold at $l.07 and some at $1.0S15, with
more offered at Sl.l0. Low grades were
not selling well. but showed fully as
much decline. Receipts We're 1876 cars

| FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Market Record: Flour-The follow
ing mills were running to-day: Pills
| bury A and b, Phoenix. Anchor, Wash
burn B and G, Northwestern, Galaxy
and Columbia. The added daily ga
pacity of the nine mills grinding
amounts to 1910 bbls, but the output
for to-day will probably not exceed
1900 bbls. Buyers were reported hold
| ing back on everything excepting in the
way of small orders. Stocks with most
of them in the interior are thought to
be small, and with the numerous pur-
chases they make there is quite large
daily average of sales. Such promise
to continue for the future and do very
well for work in the winter. but for full
grinding do not move the production.
There is now quite stock at
Duluth, amounting to 1885 bbls,
against very little at this time
last year. Local stocks are not very
large, perhaps not much different from
last year.

stiff, and bran went at about SS.75, some
