MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

There was good demand for wheat at the
opening Saturday morning, and the market
was little higher than it closed Friday.
Bad crop reports from Europe, and firm a.
bIes, with considerable export demand, were
the chief causes of the strength. The crl1-
cal condition of the crop in the Northwest,
and some sensational reports concerning 1t
added further frmneSS
The first trade that was made In September
was at S5ssc, but there was nothing more for
sale below soc, with practically the trst trad
ing at about S614c. Later there was further
advance to s64@S6$sc bid Prices later de-
cliued, losing part of the early gain. There
were general rains in Kansas and Nebraska
that tended to weaken the corn market on
speculative account.

cited. The later demand was less active. but
the wheat was pretty well sold out during the
early inquiry. The large demand for ship
arrivals, and of the So cars received today
81 were shipped leaving but as surplus.
