MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

Wheat opened active and very unsettled,
with considerable excitement during the
first hour. At one time under the rush of
trade prices were over h@12c apart on differ
ent sides OF the pit with large amount of
trading at the time, but prices later declined,
and with 1t business was more quiet. The
range during the early part OF the day was
ABOUT lie in May and nearly as much in July.
Liverpool was l2d dearer. with field mice re-
ported doing considerable damage in South
ern Russia. There was considerable cover
ing on the advance by shorts and realizing by
longs. Baltimore and New York exported
3S, 653 packages of flour.
After the middle of the day business was
alternately quiet and active and with some
large sales the aggregate transactions were
much above the usual amount traded in a
single day. The resulr OF the cessation of
postings of the Chicago market on local
boards has been to increase business very
materially.

Receipts of wheat for the past twenty four
hours were 122 cars: shipments, SO cars.
The offerings of cash wheat from the sample
tables was small, but the early demand was
not active, buyers generally holding back,
seeming to lack The necessary confidence in
the situation to pay the higher prices asked.
The unsettled state of the futures market was
the main cause Of their backward1ess.
Some wheat was picked up from the sam
pie tables later in the session, but with the
higher prices asked and slow movement of
flour, local millers were very cautious in
their operations and cOntented themselves
with careful! buying, taking only such
amounts as were needed for present use
Low grades were extremely slow and difficult
to move.
