MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

Wheat opened a little easier this morning,
with sellers at about last nights closing
prices, and sold steadily down from 79S4c TO
1850, where the decline was checked by bet
ter buying. There were no large lines Of
wheat on the market for sale. Both buying
and selling was of a scattering character.
The aggregate of such transactions was fair,
and at times there was considerable interest
in the futures market. Liverpool was called
inactive, with spot wheat firm, but futures ne
elected. Many parties figured that break
was due yesterday, but 1t did not materialize
and was looked for again to-day with some
thing OF bearish feeling in consequence Of
expected reaction from the late firmness.
The range most of the day was between 1914
@797bc for May, with July nominal at about
lie above. Following are the closing wheat
quotations.: No. hard, March, 79l9c; April,
79l2c; May. Sic; on track, sO12c; No. L
79l2c; on track, 79l2e; No. northern,
March, 76c; April, zee; May, 77l2c; on
track, 767sc.
Receipts for the day were 1876 cars, with 10
shipped out, Cash wheat was not in active
demand, and some holders pronounced it a
hard day to sell wheat. The buying was
principally by local millers, though some
wheat was taken for other account. AS will
be seen from the sales below, the range of
prices was about the same as yesterday,
though the tone was not so strong and not so
much wheat worked off at the higher range
Some late sales were under the early ones.
The clearanceS from Baltimore and Phila-
delphia of wheat and flour for the day. was
equal to goo. 600 blu of wheat. The amount
of wheat on passage to the United Kingdom
and continent increated 745. 900 bu for the
week. Duluth received 81 cars.
