MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

at a fraction above Monday nights closing
price OF wheat, there was considerable de-
mand for December and some for May. The
inquiry for the latter was better than for sew
eral days before, ana the price of it ranged
about 6Ac above December. Considerable
OF December has been let out on the market
in the last few days in a quiet way against
the purchase of cash wheat by elevator COM
panies both in Minneapolis aud in the in
terror. That supply floats from one to an
other, and furnishes a basis for a good future
trade. At the same time it comes out so
gradually as not 10 fall with serious weight
on the market at any time, while it. removes
the fear of short supply to meet contracts
falling due and requiring delivery Prices
hardened during the early part of the session
until December reached 96asc and May
S1.O27s, after which the market fell in a sort
of rut for a good deal of the remainder of the
session.
Following are yesterdays closing wheat

track, 81; No. 1 northern, October, 951ac;

Der, 93c; on track. 92"; May, $1.O5A.
CASH WHEAT.
The demand for wheat in cars was better
yesterday, and as the large offerings of the
previous day had been sold up better than
had been expected, the tables were not bur-
dened as it had been feared they would be.
Still. the offerings were fun, and supplied
the demand pretty well. Buyers took hold
from the first. and more OF the supply was
moved early than usual. No. 1 northern of
the higher sample class sold easiest. but the
straight grade went well, and No. 2 northern
sold better, and inferior lots sold with salts
faction most generally. ABOUT the middle of
the session there was more weakness that af-
fected the cash market as well as the fut-
ures, forcing about Iac decline and resulting
in less activity, though with the good early
start that had been affected wheat holders
managed to get through quite well.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
F10nr-Thpa added daily Ontnnr of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
90. 900 bbls.
Shipments. 1o,5os bbls. Quoted at s5.1o@
$50 for first patents, S4.8u@5 for second
patents. SIS. SO@4.40 for fancy and export
bakers. S1.90@2.2o for low grades III bags,
including red dog.
Demand was quiet, for the buyers evidently
expected held back to get the full drop in
| flour they expect from the late decline in the
wheat markets. The millers as O rule appear
to be inclined to accommodate their figures
to any change in the markets that may have
in them anything more than temporary fluc-
tuations. While the general range of quota
ions remained about the same. there was q
noticeable inclination to shade the figures in
patents, while bakers were pretty well held
as well as low grades.
