MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

The demand for wheat futures was brisk
yesterday morning and with some advance
considerable wheat came out on realizing
sales. That made active trading for the first
hour wheat advancing in that time nearly
4c With that rise more wheat was offered
and little break succeeded, bringing IN
fresh buying, followed by comparatively
steady market and fair trading. Few i'm
pOrtant new features were contained III the
news Liverpool was reported firm. and
easy at different times IN the day. Weather
i'll the Northwest was rather favorable with
crop reports variable. In the damaged sec
tons crop reports showed probable small
yield, while in most other parts the prospect
was fair to good. Reports from sontheasStt
Minnesota were very favorable for all small
grain, but taking the whole Northwest
very spotted result was expected.

Cash Wheat-Wheat receipts yesterday
were 80 cars, shipments 81 cars. Good de
mand existed for milling wheat, and with
many outside orders to be filled the selec-
tons were picked up by them and by few
local mihers at stiff figures Lots not reach
ing the desirable standards sold considerably
under and some of them hung on to the last,
not moving at prices comparing favorably
limited below The market. Part OF the ar
rivals went in on former sales made TO arrive.
The low grades met with small request with
some lots difficult to sell at a reasonable
figure, compared with the selection OF upper
grades The skin qualities of the higher
grades were also rather Slow. with wide
difference below the choice of same grade.
