MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

A fair demand existed for futures of Sep
TENDER wheat. and, with no pressure to sell,
Some parties lately, figuring on a decline,
were buying yesterday morning. They were
in sympathy with general drift that set in
that direction. Authorities that are usually
considered correct gave out views that the
prospects are no better for either yield or
quality of the winter wheat crop than pre-
vlously estimated. That view appeared to
contradict the estimate of the Chicago paper,
whose opinion seemed to call for larger
crop. The weather was favorable for spring
wheat that did not suffer any excepting from
past causes. September opened at S514c, and
sold up steadily to S5 as@S5S4c in the early
part of the session. August was dealt in to
some extent at about lie above September,
and December at as much above August.
Business was fair for the day, mainly in
5000 and 10000 blu lots, though some
larger sales were effected.

appeared to be g little better demand for
good wheat around Wednesdays prices, but
holders found it slow to sell when they tried
to get slightly better figures, to correspond

local and outside mlllers. Low grades were
dull, with few cars taken for shipment.

above bulk prices. Shipments, 705 IONS
