MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS,
Chamber Of Com I'M cree.

Early wheat markets were higher. and were
encouraged by higher cables and rather more
encouraging reports from abroad. Liverpool
quoted wheat Id per GENITAL higher and as
sisted TO a higher market in the morning
with larger demand. There was some buy
ing by shorts, and q moderate inquiry was
noted for long account. After the early buy
ing was over good prospects for winter wheat
and some talk of large stocks in certain local
itles of both wheat and flour had depressing
effect, and the market for December sold
down from 97ss@ 9sia4c in short time. There
was increased business in May futures.
which range near 6l2c above December The
prospect seems TO indicate a steadily in.
creasing proportion of the business going to
that month. Elevator companies sold some
wheat, but too little to seriously affect the
markets in prices The outside did very lit
tie, and while the situation shows no de-
cided tendency toward higher range there
is not much reason to expect heavy trading
from outside orders.
Following are yesterdays closing wheat
quotations: No. l hard, October, 99c; on
track, Sl@1.O1: No. l northern, October.
$3.50: November, $3.50; December. 67sc;
on track, 97lac; No. 2 northern, October,
Gle; December, CSC; on track, 92@94c;
May, S1.03A.
Receipts were less and the demand was
brisk for wheat of all grades and sorts. Mill
ers bought freely of choice cars for local use,
with a fair buying of the same qualities for
men were buying and other men bu,ing to
send to elevators away. These purchases in
cluded.a sorts from No. l down to con-
demped. which made good request all
around. There was brisk competition and
sales were most generally satisfactory all
around within the current range. AS usual
when the demand is good, the samples were
cleared up well early ia the day.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
.Flour-The added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
29.700 bbls. Shipments, 32,OS6 bbls.
Quoted at S5.iP@5. 50 for first patents;
S4.e5@5 for second patent; S3.8O@S4.4O for
fancy and export bakers; Sl.H0@2.25 for
low grades in bags, including red dog. The
Minneapolis millers have increased their
output recently, though tits not claimed the
demand is any better. On the other hand it
would soon take any mill from the market
almost permanently if it were to run only
when there is not an excess of -four in the
market. 1t calls for activity to sell flour
now. and it usually does if a fair profit be
secured The late unsettled wheat markets
have made -four buyers somewhat cratic.
Still flour is going about as well as common.
At Cd more than foreigners will bid for
bakers and Is more than they bid for pat
teuts, all the surplus would readily diappear
Brnn and Shorts-Shipmenls LILO tons.
