MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Corn,nerce.

The receipts of wheat were smaller and
with the prospect of more moderate arrivals
the cash demand was better and spot sold up
nearer the price of futures. The latter were
dull and little easier early, due to less en-
couraging reports from other places. Liver
poor was quiet and quoted generally easy for
spot stuff. Floating cargoes reported firm;
market closed there easy. A better demand
sprung up about the middle of the session
and prices were fraction higher. There Was
local feeling OF considerable frmness that
was held down by the situation in Eastern
markets. Farmers sales noware very small.

CASH WHEAT.
Cash wheat was in good request and firmer
with millers good buyers for local use. There
were fewer cars sold to ship, caused likely
by shippers being outbld by millers. Out-of-
town millers had some orders in and mod
crate amount of wheat was taken on them.
Private elevator people bought some, and
altogether good inquiry existed for the

including red dog.
Some large flour sales have been made in
tne last day or two at moderate figures,
though corresponding well with prices of
wheat at the same time. Buyers of flour
bought we'll on the previous drop and took
very moderate quantities since, excepting to
maintain stocks on liberal basis of supply.
Many have flour of previous purchase not
ordered out yet from supply stores. A
change i'll the weather is expected to reduce
the amount ground, as ice may cut off more
or less of the water supply. Demand for
bakers and low grades is satisfactory, but
patents are generally quiet
