MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber ofCo,nmerce.

Speculative trading yesterday was on a
lower basis of values caused by failure of
prominent grain houses in New York Thurs
day. Following lower opening figures there
was an unsteady market and drop about
1880 of good fraction, with other reaction
ana changes through the day. Country ele-
vator men sold little, but were not active,
and the local companies could not buy
much cash stuff 10 sell against. The general
run of traders worked with caution, and
while many of them looked for an upturn,
they feared new features that might precip-
ltate further weakness. Weather in the
Northwest was bet er, and if continued, is
expected to increase the movement very
materially. 1t there had been more conf
dence, business would have been brisk, as
great many looked for reaction.
