MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber ofCoInrnercc.

A fair request for .,,ay wheat was noted at
the opening to-day, and prices were higher.
the firmness being based OH better cables and
small receipts. The weather was cold, and
while it was not expected that it would ma
terially hurt winter wheat. it was thought
the effect would tend to harden prices of the
latter, and there was some buying OF the
strength of it, taken in connection with other
strong features. The opening was about lss
@1S4c May, but later, weakening, sold down
10 I2c. The visible, when it came in, showed
a decrease OF 3O4, 900 bu. causing reaction
to Sic, where good deal of wheat for sale
was met with, checking the rise. and later
weakening the markets. The weakest feat
ure was general dizziness.

The wheat receipts at Minneapolis and Du
luth for the past two days show falling off
of 1876 cars from those of the same time the
previous week, aggregatlng but 225 cars, of
which Duluth received but 6 cars. Ship
ments SO cars. The demand for cash
wheat was fairly active at about the gen.
eral range of Saturdays prices, though
in a few cases shade more was realized for
choice lots. Some good milling wheat was
taken for outside mills. but the bulk OF it
was picked up for home use by local millers.
Poorer grades below No. 3 were moving
slowly the better lots of that grade sold quite
well. while the poorer lots were about as dull
as rejected and no grade wheat. Buyers of
the latter grades were in the market, but their
views were not in sympathy with holders.
