MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commence

Inere was another bullish opening today
in the future markets, due mainly to specu-
latiye causes. 1t was rumored that to-day
government report of crop yields would so
reduce percentages rs to make the final esti-
mate for wheat about 2l.00O.OOO blu less
than was figured out from the September re-
port. Shorts covered on the strength of it.
and that, encouraged by the longs, put up
prices sharply. December opened at 79l2c
and rose to 1859, then fell to 1850 later ad-
vancing again with other futures maintain
ing the usual spread. May selling from S47sc
TO SoAc in the meantime. October was
mostly nominal. The wheat arrivals were
full for the day. Montreal reported the buy
ing OF wheat In st. Paul for lack of home
supplies Later prices again advanced to
soc for December and about S5I2c for May.

Reeeipts of wheat for the day were 519
cars. and rs were shipped out, against re-
ceipts OF 423, and shipments of 155 cars yes
terday. The higher opening in speculative
markets was sufficient excuse for advancing
prices OF cash wheat, and the demand has
been so good of late that there was little diff
fculty in getting higher prices for No. /

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The following mills were running
yesterday: Phoenix, Washburn a, i and G.,
Anchor, PallSade, PillSbury 4 and B, Column
bla, Cataract. st. Anthony. Crown Roller
Standard, Holly. Dakota, Northwestern, Min
neapolis and Petit. The added daily out
put of the eighteen mills grinding will prob
ably aggregate %, $50 barrels.
Flour moved steadily and was fairly active
with the production pretty well disposed of
os made. Stocks are pretty full in the gen.
eral points of accumulation and The export de-
mand IS quite moderate, two conditions I'M
favorable to early activity. Wheat stocks are
ccm paTatively light. but larger proportion
than usual of the total stocks of wheat and
flour, now in the country, shows up in the
shape OF flour. Such flour stocks would not
be Durdensome if there were enough present
outlet to prevent further accumulation. with
full production. As it is there are too many
