MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Ciha,nber of Co,nmerce.

There was some demand for wheat at the
opening. with sellers asking 7Sc for May.
Subsequently it dropped to 77g4@777sc, but
not much trading was done below 7775c. At
. that price and up to 7Sc trading was active
with some large transactions Prices hard
ened later, IN sympathy with an up move in
the general markets, and 7S14c was touched
about 80, followed by some fluctuations.
Cables were firm but quiet at the opening,
and reported easier later in the day. Wheat
on passage increased 424, 600 bu. Weather
was reported very favorable to winter wheat
all thro ugh that country. The news of ex-
ports was conflicting, one report saying that
twenty loads had been taken for export in
New York to-day. Clearances were fair there
and at Philadelphia
Following are the closing quotations: No.

Wheat receipts for the day were 166 cars
here and 81 at Duluth. Local shipments
were 81 cars The early demand for cash
wheat was poor, with buyers asking conces-
sions, and later some conceded, to move the
Offerings. subsequently on q firmer market
for futures the demand showed a slight i'm
provement without advancing prices. The
buying was of the same milling character
that has existed for some time past. Eleva-
ket, excepting for little taken by the latter
for out of town mills. Brokers had some
milling orders to buy. but the dullness of
flour was disturbing feature in the matter
of prices, limiting the orders to fgnres that
few of them could fill at.
