MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

Cables were generally frmer and the
weather reported boisterous i'll England. A
decrease of $4,000 blu was reported on
passage. The weather Ill the Northwest was
reported showery, and harvest and threshing
was delayed by it, In most places there was
brisk wind following, and with cooler
weather the effects of the rain did not ap-
pear to indicate serious results beyond caus-
ing delay in the interior movement. The de-
mand for September was good and more was
wanted at current quotations than was
offered. The tendency of August was to
drift into September prices. The first sale of
it was at 75s4c. but later Invent at 75c. Sep
TENDER ranged for mostof the time at about
74sS@l74s4c and December at 765s@1767sc.
There was some inquiry for September, with
out sellers.

Receipts were 100 cars, and "a were
shipped, against III received and 81 shipped
well loaded with wheat, and buyers were
holding off in the expectation of another
closing slump in prices. Receipts are get
ting SO large now that with decreasing
quantity going out sellers are unable to clear
up the tables each day. New No. 2 sold
early at 75s4@.76lac in a small way, but the
demand was limited. For old wheat there
was no demand, and for hard wheat bids
were little above those of No / Northern.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
yesterday: Cataract, Phoenix, Minneapolis.
Anchor, Holly. st. Anthony, Pillsbury A and
B, Columbia, Petit, Galaxy, Washburn A
and B, Humboldt and Excelsior. The added

terday will probably aggregate $4,000 bbls.
Prices are weakening and the tendency is
downward. From the interior milling points,
where old wheat is scarce mills are employed
on the new crop wheat with good results
claimed for the production. Some mills here
have tried the new crop, and pronounce the
result very satisfactory, though one miller
thought the new wheat rather tough yet
to obtain the best results. The lower prices
for new wheat are giving encouragement to
millers that they may not be so merciiessly
out of joint with general trade prices as they
were a year ago. The distribution was pick
