MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

The market opened without any de-
mand to speak of for wheat futures at
the figures asked, and while there were
some for sale they were held above
what buyers would pay. With little
crOwding the market would probably
have worked down cent or so and per-
haps have started demand. There was
some talk of July wheat at 1c above
May, with too little business IN either
in the fore part of the day to establish
market that wheat could be easily
bought or sold on as the trader might
elect. Receipts were liberal from the
elevators in the country, but hardly
anything was going in there to replen-
ish country elevator stocks.
May wheat opened at about % and
advanced to $500, later ranging
between 9sAlc and 9Sssc the greater part
of the day. July was about 1c above
May with very light demand for it.
NO2 wheat was moved at about sc
under No. l for futures, demand being
small and bat little offered. The break
in New York caused some depression in
local feeling, although it was Offset by
firmness in Chicago.
Receipts for the day were 156 cars. but
the sample tables contained less wheat
than usual, and the absence of choice
milling wheat was particularly notice
able. There was not much demand
from local millers and most of the buy
ers for outside parties were holding off
being filed for low grade wheat at
prices that ranged lower than yesterday,
but there was very little inquiry for even
the limited quantity of good wheat Of
fering. After noon the demand i'm
proved some, the bulk of the grain being
sold to go to outside parties. Shipments
were 62 cars. Duluth reported % on
track. Car lot sales by samples: cars
