MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber ofCornmerce,

Very general rains in the Northwest was
the cause of an easy market for wheat yes
terday. Prices started lower, but with a
good demand for May there was steady ap-
gained. News was not of an interesting
character, except that relating to the
weather. Reports from the principal wheat
sections in Minnesota and the DakOtas to-
day mention more or less rains all over.
That was quite noticeable coming from the
dryer portions of North Dakota The winter
wheat reports were some of them bad,
especially from Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and
Missouri. Liverpool was firm Tor spot, with
futures neglected. Local trading was fair
lately. The range of May wheat was from
s5ls@s6ssc mostly, and July lie above.
CASH WHEAT.
Receipts Of wheat for the day were PSI
cars, with 90 cars shipped out The cash
wheat market opened about 12c lower than
the price at which most of Yesterdays sales
were made. The cause of the weakness was
the decline in futures. Later that market
turned and went up l2c, and holders lmme
dlately put their asking price up to CORE
spond with that advance. Several mills had
buyers on the floor and some were looking
samples over III person. They bought very
cautiously and grumbled considerably over
paying the prices asked. Apparently they
would have been free buyers at about 42c
under the ruling prices at which wheat was
held. Still, on the whole Il fair business was
done, and the tables were pretty well cleaned
upbefore the close. Low grades were dull,
but some holders thought the demand for
them was improving slightly. Sales OF cash
wheat are on the basis of delivered unless
specified.

GENERAL PRODUCE.
There were good many Mississippi straw
berries on the market yesterday morning.
Some presented q nice appearance and were
selling quite well at S.. 5O06 per case of "a
quarts. Others not so good were offered as
low as S3.50@4 Oranges are held firmly on
light stocks and good demand; other fruits
are selling we'll, and prices steadily held.
Cheese stocks are small, SO that no special
feeling of weakness has yet been exhibited.
Choice goods are especially scarce, with
common and ordinary in large supply.
Trade in potatoes does not show much brisk
ness, but a moderate movement is reported
on local account, with choice potatoes in
light demand and held firmly. Continued
weakness and depression prevail in the but
ter market. Dealers are making concessions
in the effort to stimulate the movement so as
to prevent accumulations. Veal was in very
light supply. The demand has been good
for the last few days On light receipts, and
has kept the arrivals pretty closely cleared
up. Fancy offerings are wanted, and will
bring &c readily, though some were closed
out at fraction less, owing to the rainy
weather. The egg market is steady, with
prices still in the rut they have been in so
long very satisfactory business is being
done in vegetables. and prices are held with
quite degree of steadiness OH most all va
rieties.
