MARKETS.
Chamber of Co,nmeree.

Wheat was lower again, as the feeling Of
uncertainty keeps money tied up. and those
having it were only induced 10 let it go
| where there was certainty of it's being within
reach when they might want it. In the mar
ket for futures there was selling by holders
OF cash wheat here and in the interior. Mill
ers did not buy much and the purchases
were mainly by spectators. Some long wheat
was also for sale, and as there was small en-
couragement from outside markets, the local
feeling was weak much of the day. Cables
were slow. with general domestic markets
/ slumpy. December ranged most of the day
| between 9lasc and 917sc, with May selling
lat 99S4@99s5c. and most business being III
May. Our flour shipments today were 3d.
.634 bbls.

CASH WHEAT.
Spot wheat was hard to sell if not of fine
quality and on the right roads to handle to
the best advantage. A few lots so situated
went off quite well, while the bulk of all of
fered was slow to move, and when sold
brought unsatisfactory prices. The demand
would have been good if there had been cash
to handle it with. Money is locked up. and
to store large quantities requires nearly as
many dollars as there are bushels. There are
carrying charges now TO sell on future dehv-
cry and put the wheat In store, AID those
having the money were doing it. The day
was dull in the wheat market generally. Re
ceipts. wheat. 81 cars; shipments, H. cars.
Duluth received 236 cars.

break in wheat hat shortened business Is
better reconciled. and many more bids were
coming in and with a greater proportion ac-
copied. Yet -four could hardly be said to
move we'll, but if there is no further decline
the matter of value will soon adjust itself
