MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

The weather was fine for Northwest crops
yesterday morning, and brilliant weather
was reported abroad. There was also rain
and better conditions in the Southwest. All
these made a change i'll the feelings of the
wheat crowds, and prices opened lower for
futures all around. September, the leading
month, opened at $3.50. and began to work
lower, going down to 8ll5c about IL o'clock
August sold pretty freely along down from
S6lsc to S6l2c during the forenoon, ana
few July sales brought out some offerings
for that month. Dhile there were no very
heavy lines of wheat sold out, great many
small lots were dropped by the longs and
picked up by the others that let them go
again. A part of the day there was active
trading, and amounted to good aggregate.
Reports of the Northwest crops mostly rep
resented them to be in more hopeful state,
Following are yesterdays closing wheat
soc; on track, 92c; No. northern, July.
85l3c; August s5Iac; September, 94ssc; on
track, $50; No. 2 northern, July, Sic; Au-
gust, Sic; on track, S2@S4c.
CASH WHEAT.
Receipts of wheat for the day were SO cars;
shipments 50 cars. Cash wheat was weak
and lower. in sympathy with the decline in
futures. The demand was light all around,
but as the offerings were small, most of the
good wheat was picked up during the day.
Low grades were generally calico dull
though some sellers said that such grades
that could be used in milling were in fair de-
mand. Several of the orders from outside
could not be filled as the limits were too low.
