MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS
Chamber of Com merce.

this morning, and though the prices of fut-
ures were the same at first as they closed the
night before. the tone was weak. Many who
would ordinarily be expected TO buy were
doing nothing to speak of or were selling
ont little long wheat. Still. offerings were
not large. The country elevator companies
had hardly any to sell. as their receipts were
not largely in excess of their shipments, and
farmers were storing good deal of the re-
ceipts. The government report is expected
Friday, which had the effect of limiting
business. owing to the uncertainty Of
what it will be. Cables were bet
scribed to failure of several Roumanian ex-
porters who were unable to meet their ship
ping contracts December opened at csc,
advanced to 9Slsc, and fell to 971s, and by
o'clock there was further decline in futures,
with a slow and quiet market. The receipts
of wheat at the four leading spring wheat
points to-day were Minneapolis, 237, 74O
bu: Duluth. 10a,416 bu; Chicago, 24,s91
bu; Milwaukee, %, 100 blu. The receipts at
the four principal spring wheat markets
from the beginning of the crop year to date
were II. PIG, S02 bu. Clearances to-day were
"a, $50 Blu wheat, $3.50 Blu corn and 33,7O9
pkgs -four. The clearances of wheat and

CASH WHEAT.
When the first samples came in yesterday
morning such of them as were taken went at
about the previous days figures butlater the
sellers had to make some concessions to meet
a decline of lie in futures. At Que time there
was real dizziness, but finally the offerings
went quite well at the small reduction in
prices.
Demand continued of the same generous
proportion as before, the only difference
being that trading was on softer market
Millers and elevator people were buying, az
well as agents of outside millers. Cone-zer-
ing the weakness in general markets and
lower figures IN the middle of the day, the
offerings went pretty well. Wheat receipts
for "a hours were 403 cars, with lob cars
shipped. Duluth reported III cars received
there.
