MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

Wheat opened lower this morning with
considerable selling, but with active trading
advanced quickly. selling down again and
then UP and down through the day. Many
were looking for break on the theory of
natural reaction. The receipts were smaller
here and in the country, as farmers are busy
blowing and doing other farm work while
the weather is so suitable. The Ohio report
makes the condition of wheat in that sta e
S5 against II by the September Washington
report, and was considered bearish. Cables
said the Liverpool market was unchanged,
with more disposition TO buy. Still another
private cable said the tendency was upward.

| Cash Wheat--Spot wheat sold well all day.
The millers wanted high grades and private
elevators took what was lett after millers
| here and outside had been supplied. Early
| weakness in futures caused depression at
first. but that was later overcome and trade
| was very active all day, the range of prices
being controlled at different times of the day
by the rise or fall in futures. Wheat receipts
tor twenty four hours were 3l8 cars, with SO
cars shipped. Duluth reported 1913 cars re-
| ceived there.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output of the mills
grinding to-day will probably aggregate III
| 200 bbls. The market was firm, and while
| there were millers accepting about the same
price as on the first of the week, others were
asking more. Buyers were. as usual, after a
rise in wheat quite willing to pay prices
asked before the rise, but when it came to pay
ing the advance equaiing the rise IN wheat
they all hestated and many would not con-
cede it, excepting to supply present wants
| while the waited for further development
in the course of general markets. Patents
were quoted at So 30@5.55. Bakers went
