MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber ofCornmerce.

Elevator people and grain carriers sold
some wheat futures Yesterday morning on
very strong market The cash demand for
current receipts held the sample market too
high to enable carriers to do much business,
The early and top figures were about vi .O3lz
for September, S1.U6B@1.O7 for December.
Buyers of futures at lower figures yesterday
and before sold out some to realize Trad
Ing was mainly of character that indicated
it to be for quick turn. The corn people
were disappointed with no frost, and futures
showed depression with which wheat sympa-
thized. but strong cables, backed by reported
settled weather in England, tended TO check
overselling. Flour was reported advanced
in the United Kingdom, ana the Leeds asso-
ciatlon marked up figures Is I'd sack. De-
lay Ill finishing harvest and reports III some
quarters that spring wheat yields below ex-
pectations helped to sustain the markets.

rejected and 5 no grade, Duluth re-
ceived SO cars. The early market took sam
pies quite we'll, while the latter ones sold
after the break in wheat futures, moved
more slowly and with concessions from early
prices at that. There was some outside IN
quiry that took fair amount and local mill
ers were packing up supplies for current
use. A good deal of hard work was done by
sellers to bring buyers up to their views. The
effort met with more success in the morning
than later. Flour was rather dull and with
that in mind millers moved with caution IN
meeting extreme prices.
