MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of COnllnerce.

Inc bank statement was favorable as re-
garded from the standpoint of soundness in
the bank position. But while every one ad-
mits that money is plentiful, all are equally
sure that 1t is hard TO get. There are no Brit
1sh markets now to speak of, and American
markets are little better. While the arrivals
of wheat were full, they were not large, be-
ing only % cars for the day. and against

Dull markets are usually weak ones, and that
was quite true to-day. The fact is. that all
important business was evened up before.

CASH WHEAT.
The demand for good milling wheat on
spot was good and nearly all was picked up
early at about SIC for No. l northern. Some
poor grain did not sell we'll, but there was
only limited amount of such wheat, so
that the tables were quite well cleared off at
the close OF the session. Demand was not
very active AMI was pretty well satisfied, put
it is possible that with larger offerings and
more activity, the demand would have been
larger. Shippers wanted good wheat and
the local cleaners avoided poor grain. Clos

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS
Flour-The added daily output OF the mills
grinding Saturday probably aggregated "a
900 bbls. Shipments, J. IA Dbls. Quoted
at S46O@5 for first patents; S4.4u04GU for
second patents; S3.6O14.2O for fancy and
export bakers: 81. Su@2. rs for low grades in
bags, including red dog. few sales of -four
are made daily, for the amount OF stock in
the hands of flour dealers, and particularly
in the hands of retailers, is believed to be
smaller than common, even at this season of
the year, when such supplies are usually
brought down TO the last notch. Some get out
of one class of flour and have to buy it and
some need another. So it is that there are
daily wants to be provided for; but further
than that there does not appear to be much
activity. Foreign buying cuts some figure
close relationship as they do now, for q
slight fall here lets our values down to the
foreign level.
