MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber ofCosr1nerce.

In the morning the buying demand was
good for wheat futures. with September at
about S1.O3@1O31S. With a good deal of
realizing the amount offered forced prices
down to Sl.02lS and December fell from
81 .O6s4 to $1.O57s. Lower prices stimu-
lated buying again that checked the decline,
and worked values up fraction. Business
was marked with reasonable activity and
fair average volume through the day. Liv-
erpool and London cables were firm, with
fair amount of hardening values of wheat
and corn, and France was firm. Winnipeg
reports showed considerable damage by
trosts in the province. but claimed that half
the crop was out of the way of it, while
more or less hurt was suffered by the re-
mainder. A Vienna congress report making
the crops above the average caused weak
ness in American markets. Some of the
heavier bull operators in Chicago were re-
ported selling out with which movement
there was sympathy here.

tations: No. L hard, August, S1.12; on
track, S1-15; No, 1 northern; August,

Of to-day's inspection reports there were
95 cars of $50 total inspected that were new
wheat. The days receipts were 156 cars,
and shipments 76 cars. Wheat was held
high to begin with, as compared with fut-
ures, and was out OF reach of carriers for
elevator charges. There were some COM
plants of a slow demand for the cash sam
piles early, but with lower range the offer
ings won't Off quite freely. fair out-of-
town demand existed. and local buyers were
quite active. At little reduction in prices
the elevators would have taken up some to
go into store. but the various other wants
held figures above prices they could pay.
Some lots offered. though. that were wanting
i'll inviting qualities hung on the hands of
settlers through the session, and q further
cut would have been needed TO move them.
