MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS..
Chamber of Commerce.


Wheat opened steady at a shade frmer than
1t closed Monday, with sales of May run
ming at 76SB@ .Gl2c, ana later sold down to
76Ac. The decline was caused by sympathy
with weakness i'll markets at other places.
Later there was talk of a cold wave threat
ened south of the Ohio river, where wheat
is so far advanced that il was feared severe
frost would injure it seriously. The stock of
wheat on passage increased 100000 bu for
the week. Cables were steady, with fair de-
mand reported for the United Kingdom. 1t
was wired from California that all seeding
was again stopped there by excessive rains.
There were few futures for sale here, as the
principal longs are not selling out and shorts
thought the market TOO low to put out new
lines. The trading was chiefly In small lots
of 5000 to 1000 bu each, but altogether
aggregated quite well for the day.

Receipts for the past twenty-tour hours
were l % cars and shipments 81 ears. The
demand for cash wheat was fair and came
mostly from local millers. 1t was not SO
active as it had been on some previous days.
but was enough to clean up all good samples
at what was considered fair prices. as COM
pared with sales for May. In some cases
prices were little lower than yesterday, and
in other instances selections brought about
as much. A few sales of low grades were
made with prices of them ruling easy. A few
cars were taken to go outside, but business in
that line was not very active.
