MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber off Commerce..

Wheat sold quite freely yesterday morning
by elevator companies and scattering lots by
other parties. Values averaged lower. The
demand was not active, but at the current
prices appeared to equal the offerings, for
with the full elevator supplies the market
took them without a break worth mention
ing. Futures were weakened by the lower
bids for spot wheat, which averaged lower in
sales, too. On the whole the futures trade
was as active as could be expected at this
season OF the year. Total receipts at the
four principal spring wheat points since
up: Minneapolis, 27,s72,61l bu; Duluth,

CASH WHEAT.

especially the No. northern. Some other
milling lots went well also. The poor quail
tiles were slower. Average prices were
lower than Saturday, but considering the
large receipts, the market was generally quite
satisfactory. so far as demand goes The

Flour moves along quietly to SALE with
rather less selling than is made. Some for.
ward contracts are to be filed. however and
