MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

The receipts of wheat here have not shown
the rate of increase that had been expected,
and while spot wheat has sold quite well, the
sales OF futures dragged down in sympathy
shown by the days inspection, were smaller
OF new wheat, there being only 81 cars new
out of total of 141, and six cars new were
inspected out. Eighty-fotir cars of old wheat
came in, indicating that with the old wheat
here now there is enough for grinding until
the new is cured. September sold from 74s4c
down to 74c, and December down to 76c,
while August held well UP to 75c, owing to
small arrivals.

Receipts were 122 cars and shipments 81,
against LOO received and "a shipped. Sellers
of cash wheat were asking about yesterdays
prices for most samples of grain offered, but
buyers held off from making bids at all.
Some early sales were made of special lots at
prices that ranged from yesterdays sales to
lac below, but later the decline was accepted
on all kind. The local milling demand was
only fair and but little went to outside points.
Old wheat of all kinds was slow, No. selling
best.
When not specified in sales new wheat is
meant, old being indicated by the word ''old.''

FLOUR SHIPMENTS.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
yesterday: Phoenix. Minneapolis, Anchor,
Northwestern, st. Anthony, Pillsbury A and
B, Columbia, Galaxy, Washburn A and B,
Humboldt and Excelsior. The added daily
output Of the thirteen mills grinding yes
terday will probably aggregate Is, $50 bbls.
The demand was on the increase, and while
not large enough to employ full running
capacity, promises soon to become so. At
75c per bu for an average of No. northern
wheat and No. hard, to make a suitable
combination for the best results, it is figured
that the entire production of mill could be
exported at current bids for the United
Kingdom, and on the basis of present ocean
tI.n &c = rke1
cess of Use, and ocean rates are advancing;
either of them being quite enough to work
against complete success in exporting.
