MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

There were no public cables, and private
ones noted the usual dizziness abroad Incl
dent TO this season OF the year. New York
qoted some strength on exports and with
drawals from store, while an under current of
confidence existed here on small wheat
movement and fair inquiry for consumption
No large lines of May appeared to be in the
market but there were many small lots OF
it offered with little pressure to sell Rela-
lively there appeared to be more strength
than shown in several 9th er places. A good
many limited orders were not filled owing to
narrow range in the market. bidding was
at times within less than lie OF May IN chi
cago at the same time.

The two days receipts were 271 cars, and
shipments 80 ears. The early demand was
slow, with holders asking about Tuesday S
figures. subsequently there was more in
quiry, and with little shading in prices the
offerings were pretty well cleaned up. The
Duluth receipts were but 5 cars, and the
country movement was reported very light
though for two days before Christmas con-
siderable was moving. The prospect for local
stocks appears to indicate small increase, II
there is any. The large mills were all grind
ing mainly from current arrivals, with no
great amount coming from either private or
public storage. Shippers still claimed the
low grades were held above their reach.
Some sold, but in spite of moderate offer
ings other lots found no buyers at the hgureS
