MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber Of Commerce.

The grain markets were active yesterday,
with wheat making another advance that
carried September above 99c and f1uctuating
about that during all the early session. Trad
ing in that month was the favorite deal. with
but little doing i'll either August or Decem-
ber. From the opening TO ~ O'Clock the
range for August sales was from Sl@l. .OO7s.
September sold between 9734c and 99I3c,
and December at 81 0O1S@1.01. August and
December were not active when prices were
at either extreme for September. New York,
Duluth and Chicago reports showed ex-
element similar to that existing here.
Cables quoted Liverpool shade high
er with fair demand; Mark Lane firm
and French markets firm. There was some
talk of Chicago manipulation, but the general
confidence of the speeulating public seemed
to be the basis of the advance. Large ex-
ports yesterday from the seaboard impaired
much general firmness. There were general
rains in the corn belt and the corn market
was quiet. Flour advanced 10@2Oc.
