MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS
Chamber of Commerce.

Wheat was higher again, but less move
ment was met than the preceding day. There
were some selling orders here in the morn
ing, and with moderate selling in the local
crowd, buyers found as much as they wanted,
without their purchases forcing prices much.
The feeling was generally pretty firm, and it
was thought the reaction, if it amounted to
no more, was not entirely over The local
shortage seemed to be taken care of, though
it was evident that little news of the sensa-
tlonai order might have started buying
sharply. A little elevator wheat, added
to go oos car taxing af Profits be ems o0s pref
cemoer ranged at 94A@95c In a gem
eral way news was fiat and consisted mainly
OF unimportant gossip. Cables were I'D at
first; but later fell back on increase i'll wheat
stocks. Tae receipts at ten principal points
were D 81 Blu, and shipments 26O, 354 bu
VI TINS amount Minneapolis received 245,-
40 hu, and Duluth Sc, LOG blu.

S1.0OA.
Some classes Of samples were very slow at
first, and none were so active as holders de-
sired to move their stocks readily. The tables
were we'll filed and there was little left over
from yesterday, but after they got well start
ed sales were easier TO make some thought
than the day before Others with wheat that
did not stand up well beside some other sam
pies found them hard to sell and dragging
business all day. A fair shipping demand
was noted, and the wheat filling it mostly
went to mills down the river and in states
East. Local milers bought considerable.
Wheat receipts yesterday were 416 cars, with
80 cars shipped. Duluth reported 16O cars
received there
