MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Com,nerce.

Wheat futures were very quiet to-day, yet
prices were strong, considering the dizziness.
Outside news was scarce but mostly OF a
bullish nature. The farmers Review re-
II per cent OF full crop against 81 per cent
last report. Cables were easy with Liverpool
a shade lower, the fine wetther there causing
the depression. Shipments from Duluth to-
New York reported 10000 bu No 2 red in
spected out of store The opening was not
strong but prices soon advanced asc on May
and 9sc on July In sympathy with general
advances in other American markets.
CASH WHEAT
The posted receipts Of wheat for the day
were 372 cars; shipments. AZ cars. The de-
mand for cash wheat was pretty good to-day.
Local millers were more disposed to buy, ana
bought considerable wheat. Elevator COM
panies were picking up a little wheat; and,
with some taken for outside account, a pretty
satisfactory business was run up during the
day. Prices were steady, and confined within
about the same general range as yesterday.
though less wheat was sold at the under fig
ures All of the arrivals did not show up on
the sample tables, good deal being applied
on sales made TO arrive. The demand did not
hold out to the close, and sellers had to shape
prices on late sales

livered, unless specified.

day, included the following:

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
The added daily output of the mills grind
ing yesterday will probably aggregate 2l,50O
bbIs.
Flour was moving slowly in the way of
domestic purchases, and they are chiefly
relied on to take away the patents The low
price of bakers abroad is accepted, and they
are taken out. The stock Of patents does
not seem to be large, but there is a capacity
for turning them out very much more than
they are required. Most millers are quoting
on the basis of about $3.50, New England
others hold firmly for $3.50. The difference
in values is not probably equal to the differ
ence in asking prices but is mainly caused
by extensive advertising, most likely. An
occasional sale of patents abroad relieves the
load so much to be carried by the home trade,
and sometimes such pay about as well as
sales made on the basis of New England quo
