MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.. u
Chamber of Commerce..

The opening for futures of wheat was very
hrm, with May held at 7essc 1t fell from
that to 7Sl5c, and later advanced to Sac
again. Sales at the latter figure were light,
with considerable sold at l3c and quite
GOOD many transactions from that down TO
7Sc. Bradstreets showing of a decrease in
wheat stocks east of the Rocky mountains,
amounting to 4,6l5,000 bu in January and
ABOUT half as much for the last week in that
month, carried with it little weight, as it was
believed TO be quite unreliable. Liverpool
was firm. with good demand and I2d
hlgher. New York reported 53, 900 Blu No.
RED inspected out of store, and St Louis re-
ported sale of 10000 bu there for immedi-
ale shipment to the continent.
FoIoW1ng are the closing quotations: No.
hard February, 1Sc; May, S0Ac; on
15l2c; May, 777sc; on track, 76l9177c; No.
northern. February, 73c; May, 75Isc; on
track, 73074I2c.
Receipts for the day were IA cars: ship.
ments, 20 cars. Duluth received 8 cars.
There was good demand for milling wheat
at the opening, but before it was all taken
the demand ceased, apparently because
futures declined. Millers and other buyers
held back Tor concessions, and after the
middle of the session the market dragged
badly. There was some low grade wheat on
hand that holders were unable to dispose of,
and that sort that was among the poorest
wouldn't sell at all at any respectable price.
