MINNEAPOLIS.
Chamber of Commerce.

The morning hours were devoted to max
ing deliveries. The opening prices of fut
ures were well up to Saturdays figures but
they did not hold well. Receipts for the two
days were but SO cars, and against them
were Sc cars. So far as that feature was
concerned it was bullish, but not enough SO
to overcome the general bearish sentiments
OF the majority Of local operators, aided by
from $1.O7ss to $1.O5A during the first
thirty minutes Of trading. New York fell
less rapidly than Chicago but the decline
was enough to show it to be in line with
other places. The trading in May was
started at 81. 1884, and SO declined to $l.l2.
Below Sl.12 there was some inquiry

Sellers of sample wheat were little at sea
regarding the market for cash wheat, but the
limited receipts were pointer for them to
hold for higher prices. Some sales were
made early at what would have been cons1d-
cred fancy prices last week. but the break in
speculative m arkets that begun at about l l
O'Clock soon put a stop to the little trade IN
cash grain that had sprung up. Some early
sales were made at ST. for No. 2 northern for
strictly fine wheat. and No. northern
ranged at S1.1Q@1.15. Later No, 2 sold at
$1.O1@102. Receipts for the two days were
but SO cars, and Sc were shipped out. Du-

done of late. but it is not likely. they will
then take more than to supply fairly the cur
