MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

There was no business to speak of
this morning in futures. 1t was thought
by some that wheat was too high. but
there has been strong effort to prevent
May decline and it is felt that manip-
ulatiOn may be resOrted to in the effort
to save July. Local operators did not
like to get mixed up in it and outsiders
were afraid of it. There had been a
large decline and reactions are due and
may carry prices much above their
merits again. There was an early i'm
preston, that owing to the rains, prices
might decline this morning. But as
usual when wheat begins to move from
elevators to boats along the lakes such
movement creates activity and uneasi-
ness generally leading to small raise.
There was talk of a Chicago movement
OF some 100000 blu from store, which
was credited with starting that market
little on the up turn, but reports from
there showed it about as dull as our
own. Yesterdays rain is said to have
covered about all the territory before
untouched by it. Wheat opened at
about 9l&c May and 9014c July, with
light trading, and later advanced a
fraction to 80 May, but the irmness
was not sustained and the market sold
down to the early figures. There were
deliveries by millers, as cash was for a
few days Above May. Country receipts
were said to be very small, with little
expected to be delivered to country ele-
yatorS for some time yet.

A better demand for sample wheat
was noticed from the start this morn
ing, and the inquiry from outside mill
ers shows some signs of reawakening.
Receipts were little more than half
those OF the previous day. and the mod
crate inquiry from local millers, added
to the wants of outside mills, made a
fair market for all good grades. Prices
OF Nos. l and northern ranged about a
cent above yesterday. Later in the SEES
sion the demand supplied, and the mar
ket weakened. Offerings of hard wheat
were light. and low grades were a drug
on the market. Receipts were
104 cars. Shipments were 50.
Duluth reported 81 on track.
