MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

The wheat market was rather dull this
morning, and the sale of futures dragged, as
we'll as the movement of cash property.
Weather and crop news were the leading
features in the regulation of crop values.
The winter wheat reports were bad and the
spring wheat reports were mostly good.
moderate number of orders were here
from the outside, but the bulk of the trading
was among board operators The buying or
ders from the country were few, and a very
conservative trade was noted. Prices were
in sympathy with the general market, and all
around moved up or down in harmony with
each other. Cables were reported firm, with
an upward tendency. A feature of the bad
crop reports was the Missouri report. But
the local feeling was rather bearish, though
some were strong in the expectation OF @
rise. July ranged at S912@90c mostly.
There were times of large buying, but the
market did not respond to it. Whenever the
buying would get slow there was a return
to the former heavy feeling. The days bust
ness in July future was only about $780,
600 blu.

CASH WHEAT.
Posted receipts for the day were log cars,
with SO cars shipped out. The cash wheat
market was quite dull to-day. The buying
was principally by elevator mpanies, of
contract grade to go to store, at 12@84c under
July. There was some buying for outside
account of the different gradec, but the de-
mand was not large. Low grades and winter
wheat were slow sales The millers were
not buying anything to speak of, SO many of
their mills being shut down. some being
closed for lack of water and others for lack
of orders.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
10000 bbls.
This market was steady, with small de-
mand noted fer good patents at 81 1906.
Bakers sold fairly for 10th domestic and
foreign trade. Millers quoted for New Eng
land delivery from S5.5O@5.75, with 10W15c
off for New York enc other Atlantic coast
points, taking New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore rates of freight. Very little of the
patents are going abroad now. Shipments,
1927 bbls
Bran and Shorts-The tone was easy in
these products, and prices ruled about $3.50
@S.65 for bran, with common shorts at
about 1925. Shipments, 367 tons.
SIC for good Nebraska samples to arrive. A
little spot was held at 32l2c. Receipts,
1920 blu. Shipments none.
OatS-The offerings were again quite large,
with moderate demand at 26l2@27c for
white. A sale or two was made at 27l2c for
choice white. and good mixed held at about
26c. The dizziness was due to smaller ship
ping demand caused by advance in freight
rates to the Northwest Receipts, g, 100 bu;
shipments, 1OSUO blu.

ing to speak OF doing. Shipments, 600 blu.
FlaX-No receipts. Shipments, 1000 Blu.

Feed-The feed market was slow, with
mlllers asking S1S@13.50 for mixed and
Sl2.50@13 for coarse cornmeal.

$3.50, with choice Iowa upland above that,
but mostly nominal with little of it in market.
